No sir, I don't like it.
Welcome on, McDonut. The blog gains another soul. Now if only Mel could jump aboard.
The pirate article posted a while ago was pretty good. I think the writer may have overlooked the point, though, that the sort of pirate most people emulate, or the sort that is often the focus of pirate movies, isn't so much a pirate in that he (or she) steals wantonly as in that he is just free. I think the most appealing part of the whole pirate idea is probably the independence from society, boring labor, etc . . . although such a life probably would necessarily include swiping stuff from the innocent. I suppose that is the literal meaning of 'pirate.' But the romantic pirate idea most people have, whether historically accurate or not, likely isn't associated with that, but maybe more with treasure hunting, or just sailing around freely.The reality of needing cash, food, etc. be damned.
In other news, we've discovered that Zorro's drunken brother is named El Booze. We think he later dropped the El, dropped an O, and took on a career in televison that leant itself well to his considerably red nose.
Holy shit, 3d Worms (game cube) comes out soon. That probably means nothing to most people, but a bunch of the people up here are avid Worms addicts. I'm somewhere in the middle--not all that interested but repeated exposure has made me enjoy the game. The old PS version is what we've been using, and it's a lot of fun...four-player melees of a more strategic variety than our usual Brothers Smashing. Not that smashing is bad at all . . .
note: "El Booze" should read "El Boozo"
