Did I ever tell you that I referred to you as the “Errol Flynn of the high seas”…!?

Chris,

I know a few pirates, there out they’re right now. They sail out of the port of New Orleans, they’re from Lafyette, Louisianna. Ya know? From Jon Layfette’s old neigorhood. My grandfather remarried a voodoo queen from there. I’ve talked to them recently. They want me to join.

Forget the romanticism of the pirate. It’s not like Johnny Depp. It’s for real. First, one has to die to become one. You can’t exist. You disappear.
Second, as he told me, the pirates code is, “you never trust another pirate”. A dogma but good advice, non the less. Finally, “you must be prepared to kill”.

Quit fantacising, all of you. The pirates aren’t.

This pirate metaphor is really serving you well, limey. I thought Boston had more to do with Tea Parties than high-sea robbery. :)

Great Post!

Did you know that some pirates (the smart ones) were known to leave breeding pairs of pigs on islands in the Pacific? That way they could return and restock their food supplies, planning for the long term and the short term.
