The Rogue Stitch

From the high seas:

Alas, the sun has set over the Spanish Main. Gone be the days of pirate yore. Though ne'er shall I lament their passing into the great Abyss--so long as September 19th remains "National Talk Like a Pirate Day."

Arrrrrrrrrrrr.

Not feeling the holiday spirit? Need a lil' Long John Silver in ya? (wow, that doesn't sound right.) Howabout this: take the survey and this site will give you a pirate's name with which you can go about the day yelling at wenches and scouring for booty. (ha! double entendre number two.)





Sweet. Bloody sweet.

And if you need help with the pirate talk, this page will translate for you.

So get this: there seems to be this resounding animosity between pirates and ninjas. People are actually voting on which category of ruthless killer is better. Here.

Fitting, then, that the ninja from Askaninja.com gave Pirates 2 a thumbs-down:

In other news, Willie Nelson and a group of four other men (all over the age of 50) were busted for carrying a pound and a half of weed on Willie's tour bus, as well as three ounces of fungus loaded with psilocybin. On the road again, eh, Willie?



And, after getting swept by....errr, the Pirates, the Mets finally clinched the NL East yesterday. Yes, everyone knew it was coming. But let's face it; they're one step closer to pulling off a great World Series win on the 20th anniversary of their 1986 championship. No doubt.



Alright, that's it for now. I'll leave you with a few infamous moments in pirate history...

5. Nov. 2005: Somali pirates attack a Bahamian cruise ship.



4. Dec. 1991: Hoffman plays Hook with Mork as Pan.



3. Nov. 1718: Blackbeard terrorizes the Carolinas--and takes 14 common law wives.



2. Sept. 1993: Jerry doesn't want to be a pirate.



1. Circa the present: Pirates get.... hot.
