Arrr mateys! Put down your sabers and get ready to vote -- it’s time for the Pirate Playoffs! Will this year’s winner be a real pirate, or a fictional one? This year we have 8 new challengers ready to battle-it-out against 8 contenders from 2009. Losers from the first round in the 2009 playoffs were replaced with new contestants (sorry Jack Sparrow), but they may be invited back next year. (The only exception is Stede Bonnet who lost to Blackbeard in the first round.) If you remember, the winner of the 2009 playoffs was Blackbeard--the scourge of the seas. Although he will not be a contestant this year, he will go toe-to-toe against this year’s winner to defend hi…

There are lots of reasons a good movie won't be successful, wether for bad reviews, or poor box office numbers, maybe both. But some pirate movies were really good and don't have a good reason as to why they failed. Prime examples and personal opinion: Cutthroat Island and Treasure Planet. Thoughts anyone?

www.globalpost.com/dispatch/india/110208/east-india-company-tea-sanjiv-mehta NEW DELHI, India — Once upon a time, the East India Company toppled governments, enslaved peoples and staffed a private army and navy to rule the world of commerce — then dominated by tea, coffee and exotic spices. Now Sanjiv Mehta, a 48-year-old British Indian businessman, believes it's time for the ultimate symbol of colonial oppression to make a comeback — you guessed it, as a luxury brand. "Wealth is moving from the West to the East, and all the luxury brands are typically brands which originated in the West," Mehta told GlobalPost. "[in that context] the East India Company is an interesti…

I am almost finished with the first book in Robin Hobbs Liveship Traders Trilogy "Ship of Magic". It is a fine read if you enjoy a little fantasy blended in with your sea adventure tales. Lots of detail and while I must admit to finding the main character rather boring (Althea) I do like the pirate captain. Any fans? Any who have knowledge of Robin Hobbs world?

Avast there fellow sea-dogs! Exciting news! Stoli vodka has selected me and my pirate persona Henry Martin as one of ten finalists for their next "Stoli Original" campaign. Now-- I know what some of you are thinking-- "pirates only drink rum! Arr! What are ya thinkin' lad?" But honestly, isn't that naught but ethnic profiling? Of course we drink rum, but we are worldy beings and of course would never turn down a fine shot of vodka! In fact, some of us may even prefer it! Anyway, you can check out the video audition here: [/url] I'm reaching out to the pirate community at large for it's support-- because- at any rate- we've got rum covered- so let's set sail and sha…

ahoy all! I am guessing this is the best place for this. I was out at the International Attraction and Amusement Park Association Convention this week and took some pictures of some of the pirate things out there. Some of these are new and the vendors were trying to convince theme parks, arcades and attractions to purchase them, others may be a little familiar. And since I know some of you work in the industry, I have contact info on all of the things I saw. With the pirate fun things coming out you would think there is another pirate movie coming or something Pirate IAAPA Pictures

I use to play this game back in the day but I didn't feel it was great enough to pay $15. However when I saw this in my e-mail I figured Id share.
