Mad Davy Flint
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Red Morty Rackham
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
Sound quite right

According to CNN (has to be true, right) this is the nineth annual Pirate day, though only one other got publicity?! Somebody hijacked the other announcements?
Who ever cam up with National Pirate Day?  Are there a bunch of out of work Pirates as a voting block? Are there miscreant ex-Hallmark employees out there trying to make buck? making up new holidays.....
Still, as pirates go Francis Drake rools

I am so happy that someone else knew about this...
I got in trouble at school for a blanket poster campaign to publicize the event, even though I put them all up before school started 
Needless to say I keelhauled every manjack of the landlocked fascist oppressive running dogs of capitalism for their miscreation afore sundown.
Twas my 'I am a Pirate' t shirt that gave it away, for sure.

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

I am abviously the most boring pirate born...
Captain Grace Kidd
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

I am the Dread Pirate Vane! Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!
I knew that question about musical instruments would dictate my character.

Bloody Harry Rackham
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
Yeah, that sounds cool, if it wasn't for the "Harry" part, just gets me thinking of the animated "Aint-it-cool" Harrys'...

So I got a new one. I like this better...

That's more like it.
