Capt'n Whitebeard Be A Com'n!

[MadL]

Might it be true that Santa Clause 'n th' notorious Capt'n Whitebeard be actually one in th' same?

Let us examine th' facts:

BOTH wear a bright red frock with white trim.

BOTH sneak up upon ye in th' dark o' night.

BOTH target wee snipes when they come t' town (t' replenish he's crew??).

BOTH have th' "somethin' for noth'n" idea (gifts, treasure, candy, wenches, etc)

BOTH live seclusion from mortal man.

BOTH have minions/crews t' do all th' work.

BOTH know when ye be sleep'n/awake 'er good/naughty.

BOTH use fire/brimstone ('er a place thereof) as means o' entry/attack.

BOTH travel with a punisher (Krampus-Santa, Quarter Master-Whitebeard)

BOTH sail a ship what fly with such stealth ye naught know he there...til it be TOO LATE!!

I think th' evidence speak for itself, but YE decide....me, I be hid'n in me cabin til he's gone!!!

[Pew]

He lives.
