Because Liza's a Polyglot Pirate

or should I say, a multilingual pirate lover? -
I put CK's website through the Pirate Speak translator and got back this Mission statement:

My essays came back with fun titles too,
the best of the bunch perhaps,
being how PirateSpeak translated "Stupid Girls" into "lily-livered lasses."

So what do you think?
Be we wan'ing that homeport maidenhead as booty
for our cursed crew of swabbie wenches who sail th' high-tech high seas?

Arrr and ahoy!
'Tis almost time fer th' new shipmate movie t' open! Get ready t' swoon in your grog when Cap'n Jack Sparrow returns to the bridge and reprises th' role that makes me shi'er me timbers,
not to mention my bodacious tatas
(no wait, wrong movie. . .)

Liza and I can't be the only ones atremble?

Words to live by

Because our cultural mirror is cruel:

"Maybe this all seems funny, or trivial, but it's really not. It's about what girls want to be, what they're told they should be, and how they feel about who they are. . . I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they be independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny -- a thousand things before 'thin.'

I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do.

Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.
Let them never be Stupid Girls. Rant over."
