Aarr... me pirate's food is meat. If at sea, and meat is gone or seems a wee bit too gamey, shoe leather is an acceptable replacement.

Arrr those be the rules

Alas! The cake wilst become the fodder of the fishies.

Aye! But fishes be food too! Aarr!

Prethee I fashion a lovely knitted cover for your hook?

Me hook?? Ye been peekin'!

Aye! That's quite a hook ye got thar. What ye need is a nice, soft knitted cover for it so as not to scare the ladies when we dock.

Aye!! Don't want to scare the ladies or the fishies! Ye better start knittin' now!

I'll knit thee a cover in fisherman's rib with garter lace stitches along the length of it. The sight o' that'll wow the ladies and scare the fishies.

Me ain't too sure what the rib parts does... but I heard o' the garters and lace! Ye got room in there fer me muskets?

Thar's plenny o' room for thy muskets, O Cap'n. How many were there last count?

Only one, actually. But it casts a shadow...

Will you need a matching holder for the ammunition, laddie?

Only on a bad day, me lass. Do ye have any special qualifications? Perhaps ye'd like ta fill out me application forms. Be sure ye includes ye's letters o' recommendation...

For years I've been the scullery maid on Blackbeard's flag ship and cataloged all his books on plankwalking, fishfeeding, and doubloon counting. Many's the night he and I hoisted the grog on the poop deck. excon will attest to my seaworthiness.

Permission to come aboard, Captain?

Permission granted!

Do we know yer pirate name?

Yes. I have a name. But, it's the same as yours!! I am a bloody scoundrel, though. Maybe I am your long, lost cousin!!

Shiver me timbers! Let's splice the mainbrace!
