~I not sure that "I'm bummed " is very Pirate like.. Might cause a bit of confusion in a Pirate talking community.. Them Pirates being all arrd an all .. kno wad I meen.
Now den mee oul ship mate, tighten da jib and get the deks scrubbed.. Hoist up thaaat jolly rodger too... Respectable pirate talkers dat we arr needs a respectable ship..
go on lad.. skip to it.. CAnt do a good boardin until shes all ship shape.
