Today, I met several PIRATES. They had a ship and everything!

Hmm. You're slipping Centro. That was neither original or funny. :-( Do over?
@Salomea Sorry, it's hot here, and Strangerbox is scantily clad, and my mind is in the gutter, to the extent it isn't completely distracted or drunk.

A 17th c. seafaring reenactment group based down by the Jersey shore. They say they have actual wooden ships they sail, and they stage gun battles and so on. All their clothes are handmade by the lovely lady yonder, and they make their own period-appropriate food (baked bread, salted pork, etc) to take on their voyages, and I pretty much want to run away with them.
