It has been a life-long dream to start the first Pirate Rap band, which would take advantage of the combined bad-assitude, homocidal mania, and parent-annoyingness of inner city hoodlums and 18th-century privateers.We can thank the blogging hobby for keeping this dangerous man indoors. [04:15 PM]
In the Mythopoeic Society, there is a group of women who often declare themselves to be pirate queens at Mythcon. They have pirate flags and little hats and eye patches and speak pirate. Sadly, there are no parrots.
Dave Eggers (of Smart/Smarter Feller, Might, McSweeney's, etc., fame) has opened a pirate supply store in San Francisco: http://www.826valencia.com/store/index.html
The section immediately after the pirate stuff is much better. I owe you a drink at the very least for turning me on to this guy's blog.
