"Gentlemen of fortune - they lives rough, and they risk swinging, but they eat and drink like fighting cocks, and when a cruise is done, why, it's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets."
- Robert Louis Stevenson, "Treasure Island"

Nobody:

Me: The hardest quote in #BlackSails definitely goes to #LongJohnSilver - "My name is John Silver and I've got a long f***ing memory."

🥥 An early reminder to make sure that everyone is well-prepared for #TalkLikeAPirateDay on September 19.
That's actor #RobertNewton, originally of #Cornwall, who played #LongJohnSilver in the movie and TV adaptations of Treasure Island. (Shown here with his rare living #NorwegianBlueParrot.)
For copious fascinating details on pirates, #Cornwall, Mr. Newton, parrots, mermaids, tarts, and the origins of band names, follow my long-time INTERNET friend Timotei @Brutus. 🥥

🥥 OMG, Timotei!
Immortal actor #RobertNewton's performances as #LongJohnSilver are indelibly etched in my memory from childhood.
As a lad prone to black and white thinking, it really perplexed me that I couldn't figure out if Silver was a good guy or a bad guy.
Besides his memorable roles on stage and screen, Mr. Newton lives on as the #PatronSaint of International #TalkLikeAPirateDay.
Please tell me he played Long John with an authentic #Cornish accent. 🥥 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day
