Posted on by

I wouldn’t normally post about a Cyber-Monday deal, but Rootjack (the exceptionally piratey rootbeer) is dreadfully hard to come by in local stores, so shipping is really the only way.

Enter the code CYBERMONDAY for orders over $25 to qualify for free shipping!

I tell ya, there’s nothing better than when another pirate band/magazine/website chooses to write about me online. Not only does it further inflate my already dangerously overstuffed ego, but it also allows me to link their article and give the impression that I’m actually posting once in a while (and absolutely *not* neglecting this website as I prepare for winter. Seriously, those acorns don’t bury themselves.)
