    These guys need to go retro on two details: eyepatches and STD treatment.

    Khat is overrated. I heard stories of all the old white Africa hands chewing it for three days straight and writing novellas in a single night. I tried it as soon as I got to Ethiopia (then a few more times after that) and experienced all the bad side effects of coke with none of the confidency goodness. It takes about an hour of chewing to kick in and tastes like sour spinach, plus you have to keep it bunched up in your cheek like a gross old man tobacco chewer. Also, nothing you ever get in the US or England will be good quality, since the second Khat gets picked it starts to lose it's potency. It's said the only thing that runs on time in the horn of Africa is Khat shipments.

    I'm actually related to one of the most famous female pirates ever and I remind people of that anytime they tell me I drink too much, don't pay my share at dinner or especially when I punch someone in a crappy pirate costume. Pirate is an attitude now buy me another beer.

    Will a pirate, who essentially leads the life of an anarchist, respect his wedding vows?

    Are women allowed to be pirates? Hanging off the arm of guys who spend days at work, blow all their easy money on dope, cars, cigarettes giant McMansions, and fancy cellphones? Sounds like deja vu.

    I was afraid of what kind of comments this post would generate, and I think I was right in my fears.


    Also, what does the "invite friends" button do? I've asked this before.


    Can we get one of them "Gawker Housekeeping" posts? You guys have rolled out new stuff and not explained it to the masses. Let us not forget the commenting kafuffle of September 08. I've barely seen Minsley since then.

    What kind of message does it send to young girls that they too cannot one day hope to rape and pillage on the high seas as a career?
