Visit Piratepalooza, for blarney. Pirate Captain Drew is gifted in the idiomatic vernacular. ‘Tis true.
May I point out that I recently bought a copy of Sid Meier’s Pirates for the PC on clearance at Target, and shiver me timbers, but it’s a reasonably fun little game of pillage and plunder upon the high seas…
