Identity Crisis
Like any esteem-challenged narcissist, when someone does something like...oh, misspell my name, I wonder why that person hates me so much to have my name incorrectly entered into Outlook contacts and then actually e-mail me with it. Then I decide to go the distance by passive aggressively posting this. But not 100% passive-aggressive, as I could have posted his/her e-mail address as well. Or maybe that is passive-aggressive.
My Pirate name would be "Black Jenny Kidd." I like my description:
Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
But, ugh, Jenny. From now on, I'm Jen. Just Jen.
The other part of my name causes some reaction.
Shakespeare said something about names. Destiny's Child pled for someone "say my name."
Speaking of names, Jake's alter ego and other Gothamist names - in Mormon.

So if it wasn't clear before that I'm a huge baby, it must be now.
apparently, I'm Mad Morty Kidd: Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
"Dirty Sam Bonney"
Wow, I REALLY do NOT LIKE MY PIRATE NAME!!!
"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. 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!"
Okay, I see where this is going. But since when does answering the "bathe" question with "daily" make me smelly? I sense a wee bug in the pirate-y algorithm...
