Before rum launched its successful world invasion in the early 1700s, wine was a frequent libation of choice for pyrates. Well, for everyone, really, not just pyrates. And we’ve already plundered and discovered that pyrates weren’t really picky about their wine. If it was there, they’d drink it. Madeira! Madeira! While it’s true that pyratesContinue reading “22 Pyrates”

Pyrate Lore
How to Make a Lusca Angry…
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Release the Kraken!” Pyrates my age or older will have first heard this cry in the campy (but much loved) 1981 original movie, Clash of the Titans.

Pyrate Football and BBQ
You didn’t know that pyrates played football, huh? Crazy talk, right? Buccaneers is their gang name. This group of formidable, especially large and especially strong pyrates may have originated as Spanish privateers, (their gang headquarters is located in Tampa Bay, Florida).

VC Musings: Recently Watched…
Netflix category: “Recently Watched by Virginia” I do not like this category because it will totally OUT you for any movie weirdness. I DO NOT link it to Facebook because I do watch some very oddball stuff. I really enjoy horridly bad science fiction, and there’s nothing quite like a gathering of like-minded folk forContinue reading “VC Musings: Recently Watched…”
