Please, say it ain't so. We've just put up the pirate flag on our house.

Not to be outdone by the good Doc, I have included a few quick flower porn snaps from the hot, lurid, sexually charged grounds surrounding my house. Well, to be honest, it's just plain hot, as in approaching 90F with more humidity than a swimming pool.
First on our parade of porn is the common…

Arrgh. Avast ye dogs. This Encephalon will have a pirate theme -- largely because I am coming off a wicked three day flu extravaganza, and I am still slightly delirious. Be like when the plague took me whole crew. Arrgh.
So enjoy your piracy and brains, say aye.

OK, even though I have said time and time again that I rarely do any posts that are strictly political in nature, mainly because political bloggers are a dime a dozen, great political bloggers are rare, and I don't consider myself anything better than an at best passable political blogger. However…
So who do we invade to ensure a steady supply of the pirates we need?
This may spell doom for our efforts to reduce global warming...
Shouldn't it be "piracy"?

Nah, "Piracy" is what pirates do. "Piratery" is what non-pirates who think pirates are cool do.
* Attacking a ship and illegally seizing its cargo = Piracy.
* Flying a jolly roger from your house and saying "Arrrr!" = Piratery.
I thought everybody had a pirate flag. I hung mine in my office when I was the UNIX Supervisor, as a fair warning to my inferior Windows Administrators.
Just remember not to fly it in Winter, otherwise your timbers may shiver.
Damn this thread and damn Sir William and Sir Arthur for getting this firmly embedded in my brain:

Peak pirate. That's funny but a thought provoking theory. I say yes we have. We passed peak pirate the weekend after that Pirate movie opened this summer.
Only the turn of FSM Himself could return us to such highs.
I wonder if this will affect the chances of Piratz Tavern, a pub about to open in suburban Washington, DC. Of course even at the supposed peak of piratery, everybody I mention it to thinks it's a dumb idea which is doomed, even though *I* want to go there when it opens.
I think the way current laws are, that if you flew that from a boat you could be attacked and taken as a prize....
A true pirate was Captain Nancy Blackett ( Amazon Pirate ) - who went so far as to tip her IUncle the Black spot .....

I'm more-or-less down with the FSM and all, but I have to get this off my (live man's, heh) chest:
I don't get the pirate thing.
CCP: As an amused outsider, all it seems to be is making use of a conjunctive fallacy to create more humour: pirates are cool; the FSM is cool; therefore, wouldn't the FSM be cooler if it was involved with pirates some how?
