I love it! We're sisters--I'm Red Ethel Rackham! Here's the rest of what it said...

Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. 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!

This was hilarious! I guess I have what it takes to be a pirate Captain!

Sadly, the firemen knew this and Cody did this on a call.

OK, my pirate name was awful. I tried deliberately to answer the questions as an eccentric wimp with less backbone than a jellyfish (in other words, answer the questions truthfully). I was hoping to get a really wimpy name like Jellyfish Jack Wimpingham. You know, something pretentious, mean-spirited and with plenty of syllables. Instead I got Iron Jack Kidd and some paragraph about how tough I am. Four syllables and even less originality. So, forgive me if I sign off with a somewhat dim-spirited arggh!?!

Spruce, I'm sorry you're not the wimpy pirate you wanted to be. Maybe you can lower your expectations next time.

Mollie, my mom was a Rackham too!

Amber, it shows that you run a good house that you're the captain!

Ashley, I love that the LBB firefighters were pirates for the day!
