Captain Morgan’s ‘To Life, Love & Loot’
I sed it before, and I say it again – the folks at Captain Morgan are on a good advertising path. Real good 
Earth Day – I mean, Arrrrth Day. No, better just say Earth Day.
Earth Day, the only holiday I know of designed to make us all depressed about the evils of mankind and our immanent self-destruction, is upon us once again. So raise a glass (it’s ok if it’s empty – you can still cry into it) and enjoy this lovely piece of pirate solemnity from the Ben Gunn Society:
Hunch Hunch
I don’t know. I just don’t know. Happy Monday.
New video from The Ben Gunn Society!

Beware the Pirates of Plagiarism!
I’ve seen a LOT of pirate themed sites over the years – and not all of them make much sense. I think there’s a vegan pirate site out there, and I believe there was even a pirates of healthcare or some such nonsense at one point. But the Pirates of Plagiarism, teaching kids what plagiarism is and why it’s wrong? That’s actually pretty clever!
