Want To Run Away To Sea?









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?

  8. Me: What’s the favorite letter of a pirate?
    You: R
    Me: Aye, you’d think that. But it’s the C.

    1. @ Travel -- Of course your ancestor was law-abiding! Respect for the law must run in your family.

  13. I'm a huge fan of Taika Waititi. I'll have to look for this.
    Pirates 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!
