It helps when you have an actual boat, even though ours wasn't exactly a traditional pirate ship.

I always had a ...Very Interesting post, Elizabeth,<br /><br />I always had a love/hate relationship with pirates as a child. Part of me loved the daring and plain rudeness of the pirate. The other part realized that it was not a good thing to be on the bad side of a pirate. I do have fond memories of playing pirate in the apple orchard behind our house. The best part was when you turned on your comrade and grabbed the booty. lol. There was always a race between the kids to see who could turn traitor first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-54001510108486971282011-05-24T18:58:07.660-04:002011-05-24T18:58:07.660-04:00The Tim Powers book predates the first Pirates of ...The Tim Powers book predates the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie by several years, and like most Tim Powers is well worth reading. Disney did buy the rights to it, but I suspect that was mostly so that they could use the title, and not be at risk of a law suit for a few common elements. Don't expect it to have anything to do with the movie plot...<br /><br />Another recent title, if you're looking for more pirates, is a collection called Rum and Runestones edited by Valerie Griswold-Ford. The stories in it share a common theme of magic and pirates. (I'll confess ulterior motive here - I've sold her a story for inclusion in a second collection with the same theme, due out in November, tentatively titled Spells and Swashbucklers).Kathryn Scannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717480772265142293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-74138324648436339462011-05-24T12:53:21.455-04:002011-05-24T12:53:21.455-04:00Heh,She said bootyHeh,She said bootyKarlhttp://twitter.com/#!/gavirznoreply@blogger.com
