When I was younger everyone cared about Talk Like a Pirate Day. Every September 19th it'd be yars and shivers me timber all the way down, and people took delight in it. Now nobody ever talks like a pirate, on that day or any other. So few of us cling to the old ways. This is where our society went wrong. People not talking about pirates once a year, everything else about society is fine, probably

The space pirates boarded, cybernetic eyes blinking madly. They hacked the ship's software update library.
"At last! Patches for our eyes!"

Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day mates!
A cannon not tied down can do pretty heavy damage while in rough seas, therefore, a person who is unpredictable and out of control is called a loose cannon.

ARRR! Talk Like Pirate Day is September 19!
Bringing Her Yards Aportland, Tackles to the Gooseneck of the Tiller, Sheer Off, Running His Guns, Setting Fire to the Powder, Raising Their Metal, Bringing Her on the Careen.
These are terms most of us do not hear very often, or are unfamiliar with, but to ship’s captains and crew during the Age of Sail, all of these were well understood.
Acts of piracy on the high seas had been common from the time people first took to the sea, but for most of us today, the word Pirate conjures up images of 18th-century buccaneers made popular in art, books, and movies. Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, Captain William Kidd, Stede Bonnet, Anne Bonny, “Calico Jack” Rackham, Bartholomew “Black Bart” Roberts, and Samuel “Black Sam” Bellamy are just a few of the men and women who “Went on the Account,” that is, turned to piracy.
This book, The Lives and Bloody Exploits of the Most Noted Pirates, Their Trials and Executions, published by Ezra Strong in 1839, describes the lives and careers of many of these pirate captains in colorful detail.
Perhaps the following speech, included in this book, (pages 129 and 130) and attributed to pirate Captain “Black Sam” Bellamy, gives us an insight into the reason why so many seafaring men, during the Age of Sail, chose to became pirates. Captain Bellamy, commanding the Wydah Galley, captured and plundered a sloop commanded by a Captain Beer while cruising off Rhode Island in late February of 1717. Captain Bellamy to Captain Beer:
I am sorry they [Bellamy’s crew] won’t let you have your sloop again, for I scorn to do any one a mischief when it is not for my advantage; - the sloop, we must sink her, and she might be of use to you. Though you are a sneaking puppy, and so are all those who will submit to be governed by laws which rich men have made for their own security; for the cowardly whelps have not the courage otherwise to defend what they get by knavery; but-ye altogether:-them for a pack of crafty rascals, and you, who serve them, for a parcel of hen-hearted numskulls. They vilify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this difference, they rob the poor under the cover of law, forsooth, and we plunder the rich under the protection of our own courage. Had you not better make one of us, than sneak after these villains of employment?
Captain Beer rejected throwing in with the pirates.

I gust have to say I appreciate your blog so much. It makes waiting for my next college class way better. I also look forward to Man Meat Mondays. It feels like a little treat each time I see a new one.
Thank you so much!
It is an absolutely uplifting feeling to know that someone likes my pictures and is happy when I draw something.
Of course, one does it mainly for oneself - for the fun with the idea, the fun of trying new things and also challenging oneself once in a while so that one can grow from it - but one does not live in a vacuum. Because of course pictures are there to be seen! And ideally even to be liked and to give pleasure.
I hope I can sweeten several more montages for you!
And because today is " Talk like a pirate" day, we have Vulkan as a pirate from an Alternate Universe fanfiction by @relax-and-read-on.
