What I Know....About Pirates

PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES!

Pirates are fantastic. Their adventures and antics have captured the imagination of artists throughout the ages. From theatre, to visual art, to literature, pirates are EVERYWHERE!

Except they're usually done wrong.

Pirates were EVIL. These men and women were bad, and they knew it. They did what they did and enjoyed every second of it. Whoring, killing, drinking; the pirates life for me. These were some badass mutha fuckers.

One of the most commonly known pirates is the infamous Edward Teach. You know who I'm talking about. 6'7" man. Shoved smoking fuses in his hat to scare the shit outta people. Took four bullet wounds and two stabs before finally going down. Oh, yeah. The one. The only. THE Blackbeard. All of what I described him as is true. The dude was a monster. However, he may be the worst; but he wasn't the best.

But that's a later pirate for a later post.
