Pirates is always talking in the present tense. Any man uses the future or the pluperfect, he dies where he stands.

So I went into Krispy Kreme dressed in ripped jeans and an old BDU blouse and spoke in my best Somali accent, and what did I get? Nothing.

If you're into Pirates, the 1990 TNT version of "Treasure Island"is available on DVD. Can't say enough good about this version. Charlton Heston as Long John Silver and a (very) young Christian Bale as Jim Hawkins.

Comedy= Tragedy + Time. We think old timey pirates are cool because they're not running at US with a blunderbuss in each hand and their hair on fire for added effect. People from the era probably found them much less amusing.
