A momentary lapse of reason

Because I’m feeling lighthearted today…

My pirate name is:
Black Tom Read

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You’ve got taste and education. Arr!

I actually like this. Might use it as a stage name…um, never mind.

Why all the pirate interest? http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

Now to be honest, I’ve never shared the general fascination with pirates, although I do get it. (I feel the same way about ninjas, and don’t get me started on zombies and vampires.) But hey, a little contradiction is good for you…and there is the long history of the simmering pirate feud between a certain Littlebeard and the Dread Pirate Nick Fox to consider, ending in the epic battle in which Littlebeard bested the scurvy dog in a Pirate Haiku Death Match…

So, me hearties…ARGH to ye all!!!!
