Today is "Talk Like a Pirate Day." I feel like I ought to do something for that. On the other hand, all those "pirate" trappings are completely ridiculous. Hook hands make for very poor penmanship, for instance.

Are you sure you want to go into this argument? Because you know it'll get into increasingly personal questions while I prove you completely wrong.

[youngestone]

How does anything personal determine if I'm adorable or not--which I'm not, so!

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

We could put it to a vote. Is Ariel with you?

[youngestone]

She's around and also biased since she's my girlfriend.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I never said it was going to be a fair vote.

[youngestone]

[He snorts]

Yeah. Nice try!

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I win because I cheat, Kitten. I thought that was obvious.

[youngestone]

Stop calling me that! Call Fil that, he looks like a lion anyway.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

But you're the one who protests and fusses. That's half the fun, you know.

[youngestone]

I will post that picture of you as the author to your Facebook.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Go ahead. I look good in white. Besides, you should see how they make me dress for the dust jacket photos.

[youngestone]

What, a nun's habit?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Shockingly, no. More like what happens when you cross Jane Austen with cheesecake.

[youngestone]

So a cream puff.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

More or less.

[youngestone]

How have you not killed someone over that yet?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

It's just pretend. Besides. Getting blood out of silk is a bitch.

[youngestone]

...why do you know this?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Because I tried it once. It wasn't my blood.

[youngestone]

Do I want to know why you were washing blood out of a dress?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I said it was silk. I didn't say it was a dress.

[youngestone]

What else would it be?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

There are plenty of things you can make from silk. Stockings, neckties, scarves, handkerchiefs, sweaters, shawls...

[youngestone]

But what would you be washing blood out of?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Killian. Think really hard about what you're asking. Now. Ask yourself: do you really want to know?
