Harr mehearties!
Close ye scurvy maggot holes and open ye hairy lugholes. This be the place where ye can find out about the progress on me pirate house, so ye can stop yer stinkin electronic parrots askin me. Har.
So whats the plan? where be the buried treshur? show me pichurs! HAAARR shut ye noise cracks i be tellin ye!!!
Plan A: If I be collectin 2 dabloons from each of ye maggots and totalling a booty of aboot 1.4 million dabloons then I be buyin a pirate plot, an buildin me pirate house from scratch where ye nasty non-shipping consents don't apply harr.
Plan B: If not all ye maggots be plunderin and givin me a dabloon and me booty be less than 1.4 million dabloons, then I be havin a massive pirate party and givin thee booty to me worthy mini-pirates HAARR.
Far be it I be a selfish booty shark with me plunderin's I be sharin me booty with me disadvantaged mini-pirates.
So if ye be feelin a jingle of unneeded dabloons in ye sweaty fist drop em in me treshur chest an we can set sail.
YARRR I BE DONATERATIN!
