Aye be related to one of dem dar pirates... Lookin' back in me family tree...

Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596) was a sailor, politician, globe-circumnavigator, and aye, a privateer with his own Letter of Marque from Queen Elizabeth I. So reviled was he by the Spanish—whom he routinely stripped o’ ships, gold, spices and booty—King Phillip II allegedly put a 20,000 ducat (£4 million) bounty on his head. Drake made two successful voyages to the West Indies for tradin’. Nearly 100 years later, a band o’ pirates called the buccaneers became active across the West Indies.

My Grandfather helped unload the rumrunners, including this famous vessel, back when they came into my hometown. Charged a tithe (of the liquid kind) too, to let them land. Does that count?

My mother was a hamster, and my father smelt of elderberries.

Hey, I thought everyone agreed----no hamster jokes!


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Hamster, gerbil, they all look alike to me. (Rated MA for strong sexual content.)
