Yeeaaarrgh! Yet another of the mighty clan of Bonny checking in! **Iron Sam Bonney** A pirate’s life isn’t easy; it takes a tough person. That’s okay with you, though, since you are that person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate’s life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr! Aye, Mum did get around a bit, didn’t she… She must be the one that song is about. You know, that whole “Yo ho ho” thing. ---

Iron Morty Vane A pirate’s life isn’t easy; it takes a tough person. That’s okay with you, though, since you are that person. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that’s okay, because it’s much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr! Yoo Ho Ho - I need to buy a bottle of rum for tomorrow arrr. ---

Dear Dirty Jack, Your recent invitation with respect to the pillaging of booties sounds lovely! My party of ten will gladly attend! Other than rum, is there something we can prepare or bring? Since the invite did not specify, I’m presuming swashbuckler/casual-optional parrot? Please advise.
