A giveaway for pirate fans (not the ones who live in Pittsburgh).

If International Talk Like a Pirate Day did not exist, it would be necessary to invent it – just so that I could have this particular giveaway.

By all means follow the above link so that you’ll be conversant with what the buccaneer wannabes will be doing on Sept. 19. (Hint: It has to do with talking like a pirate.)

Then, mateys, feast your eyes on the two-part prize:

“Pirate Attack!”: This works on the same principle as the Chicken Chucker and Love Gun toys that I’ve included in previous giveaways. It’s a small catapult that promises to launch pirates up to 15 feet. Four little plastic freebooters are included, one of whom has a hook for a hand and one of whom may be Anne Bonney.

Pirate Haiku: Bilge-Sucking Poems of Booty, Grog and Wenches for Scurvy Sea Dogs.” Who says that poetry is only for the effete? Here are a few samples:

 

You get a lot of

promotions on pirate ships,

due to mutinies.

 

Grog hangovers may

be one thing that can explain

pirate surliness.

 

Pirates steal because

they don’t have regular jobs

with a pension plan.

 

I’ve pirated years

and known just one Buccaneer.

He was from Tampa.

 

To enter:

If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave separate, additional comments to get credit for each entry.

The entry deadline is 9 p.m. PDT Monday, Sept. 17. The winner must respond by 9 p.m. PDT Tuesday, Sept. 18. If you enter, check your e-mail. Me hearties.
