Pirate Eddie?

[graceomallet]

Avast, me hearties! Since it be Talk Like A Pirate Day , I thought p'rhaps some Eddie Izzard Pirate Style might be interestin'. So here it be, courtesy of the English-to-Pirate translator . Arr!

'So, yeah. There was a lot o' that, and we built up empires - we stole countries! That's what you do, that's how you build an empire. We stole countries with t' cunnin' use o' flags! Ahoy! just sail around t' world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" They go, "You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million o' us!" "Do you have a flag?" "We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!
"No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's t' rules that I've just made up, and I'm aftin' it up with this gun that was lent from t' National Rifle Association."'

Just saw Eddie as a Prussian gold-seeker in a weird "western" called Blueberry and the accent confused the shit out of me til Sam pointed him out.
