Hmmph.

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. 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!
YES! This reminds me I must make a start on my Yiddish dub record again.

No lie -- back in the 1880s or so, two of my ancestors (brothers to the guy who was my great-grandfather, if I have this right) ended up in a weird tussle where one killed the other (newspaper accounts are muddied, we're still digging up the info). The name of one of the people involved -- 'Black Dick' Raggett, who lived with a woman of fallen virtue and apparently could 'wield a hypodermic needle most skillfully.' I swear I'm not making this up!

I love the description best: "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. 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!" Very apt.

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. 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!

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. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! -----
