"If nothin' else you�ve gotta hand it t' Nokia for tryin' somethin' new with t' 770, which t' venerable Howard Chui got his swashbucklin' hands on and put it through t' paces, me hearties! He apparently well liked t' browsin' and multimedia experience (t' last couple times we tried t' thin' out we too noticed it�d been avastly improved), and thought t' device might be nicely complementary in your already stuffed-full piratey sack, ya scurvy cur!"

But you know what this post really needs: Monkey Island insults. I'll start:

"Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!"...

I swear this morning I was at the Grocery store this morning and a guy was dressed up like a pirate and I overheard him say it's Pirate Day. Absolutely hilarious. I really thought he was just delusional, or had a case of Capt. Hook Syndrome.

A little boy with a speech impediment goes trick-or-treating on Halloween dressed as a pirate.

"Twick or tweet! I'm a PIWATE!" he says to the people who answer the door.

He comes to one particular house and rings the doorbell. "Twick or tweet! I'm a PIWATE!" he yells.

"You're a pirate, huh?" the man replies. "Really? Then where are your buccaneers?"

The boy thinks for a second and replies:
"They're on my bucking head!"

Ya know, I really ARRRR a pirate, 'cause I work on the water in a boat.
Got off the shrimper last night late and someone reminded me it was TLAPD. I was so bummed I missed it- i went over to Swannsborough Yacht Club and got pissed.
So I missed most of these wonderful posts.
on behalf of all of us, thnx, Engadget, you guys really rock.
