And hey, if you haven't seen it yet, you may want to watch the streaming series Our Flag Means Death as preparatory viewing. Gay pirates in love, featuring the great Taika Waititi as Blackbeard and Rhys Darby as Stede Bonnet. What more could you want? Its humour veers crazily all over the place from silly to absurd to surreal to insane. I'm sure this is exactly what old timey piratical life must have been like, aren't you?
...just cal me "Soggy Hook Orphan," but I like Tom better.

ReplyDeleteMe: What’s the favorite letter of a pirate?
ReplyDeleteYou: R
Me: Aye, you’d think that. But it’s the C.
@ Moving with Mitchell -- GROAN!
DeleteI have learned that an ancestor in early 1800's was a privateer, I pirate with permission from the government.
ReplyDelete@ Travel -- Of course your ancestor was law-abiding! Respect for the law must run in your family.
DeleteLove them all, would have been a great post for TLPD Sept 19th. Not so sure about my pirate name…Filthy Bottom the Greedy.hahaha

Black Dog the Dreadful. Arrrr. Seems fitting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of Taika Waititi. I'll have to look for this.
ReplyDeletePirates are huge fans of the letter R, but they're awfully fond of the C as well.
How much does a pirate charge for corn?
A buck an ear!

ReplyDeleteI stole the joke from Picard.
