Your pirate name is:
Bloody Roger Vane

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 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!

Would this be another of those quizzes that "innocently" asks for information also commonly used for identity security?

Black Tom Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Oh No,

I may have inadvertantly given away my parrot preferences to nasty men on t'internet! They even asked about the penguin; hmm, suspicious and not a little Cthuluesque,

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

I think it was the Hamlet question that did it.

Whatisitgood4atwork02 Jul 2009 8:16 p.m. PST

Dirty Jack Rackham. Apparently part of a big family of Rackhams that have taken up piracy. "Are you one of the Somerset Rackhams?" "No, I'm one of the mad, psychotic pirating Rackhams."

"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 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!"

Not sure why, as daily bathing was one of the easiest questions to answer. Not quite feet in tissue box material, but there wasn't a box for "Are you kidding? In this heat, three showers a day is about minimum."

Pyrate Captain02 Jul 2009 8:58 p.m. PST

Captain Mick, but some call me "Destiny's Bastard". That's the name-o-me ship.

Streitax02 Jul 2009 9:10 p.m. PST

My pirate name is:

Mad Tom Rackham

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. 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!

Jana Wang02 Jul 2009 9:20 p.m. PST

Another member of the Rackham clan here:

Calico Mary Rackham

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. 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!

Cap'n OFM, of course. I don' need to take no barnacle scrapin' test to tell me my name!

Am I allowed to say "Nice Rack, Jana!"?
No? I didn't think so.

Captain Roger Kidd

Yeah, that will work! :-)

You may walk the plank now, matie; smartly, if you please…

bandit8602 Jul 2009 10:34 p.m. PST

Your pirate name is:
Black William Kidd


Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Not to bad anyone looking for a 1st Officer

Dirty Jenny Bonney

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 named three captains and three Mates from my group of Pirates. I color coded the bases, so the ships are of similar base identification.

From the brigantine, La Rouge Fleuer (typical Pirate miss spelling)
Captain Blackie Noir
1st Mate Benjamin Button
2nd Mate Likudu Dikombay (African)

From brigantine, The Gray Horne (of the Nahrwal)
Captain Caliber Hightower
1st Mate Beeseebus the Riff (corsair roots)
2nd Mate Maximillain ("the Sharp") Ciclone

From the brigantine, The Greene Fairie
Captain Phelgar ("Brass") Bahls (dutchman)
1st Mate Bill Snicker
2nd Mate Chester Phillpott (apologies to The Penguin)

Gentlemen, take a bow.

" Chester Phillpott (apologies to The Penguin)"
Wasn't his name Crottlepot of some spelling?

Matsuru Sami Kaze03 Jul 2009 8:03 p.m. PST

Oh yeah, it was Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. Villain. So, I'll change the name to O.C. Cobblepot. Thanks.

Norman D Landings04 Jul 2009 3:51 a.m. PST

I be 'Bloody Tom Kidd', bi'damme.

'Tis nobbut a trifle o' fol-de-rollery…. a mere fancy o' some lubberly fops what 'ave never been taken below t'see the golden rivet!

(That's me set off now… I'll be like this all day.)

Mad Jack Kidd – Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Oooh, the first line is just so accurate it hurts.

*NJH: "Bloody James Kidd" for me. However it lacks the alliteration of "Blue Bruce Buckaneer."

Would this be another of those quizzes that "innocently" asks for information also commonly used for identity security?

Doesn't look like it. All multiple choice questions, save for asking for your name and your favorite color. I suppose a website could use the latter question as a security question, but it'd be a particularly insecure question….
