Description
"When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboatman. We had transient ambitions of other sorts, but they were only transient. When a circus came and went, it left us all burning to become clowns; the first negro minstrel show that came to our section left us all suffering to try that kind of life; now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. These ambitions faded out, each in its turn; but the ambition to be a steamboatman always remained."

- Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi (Ch4)

Partially in honor of the quickly approaching National Speak Like a Pirate day; mostly because I just felt like it. C:

P.s.: Completely unrelated: Libs now has a SubConnection meal swipe. Sweet Chuck in heave I'm having a hallelujah moment. <3
