"I walked into the theater with 'Yo Ho, Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)' running through my head. I walked out of the theater with a stern realization that a pirate's life is NOT for me. Pirates get chased by governments, eaten by cannibals, drowned, blown up, press-ganged, imprisoned, and dragged to the murky depths by sea monsters.
"No, what I want is the life of being able to WATCH pirates. Over and over and over again."

And today, of course, is a good day to talk like a pirate as well as a good day to watch pirates, since it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
