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:
…although this trailer actually looks pretty promising. I know, we’ve been deluged these past years with movie and game rumors, but at least Risen2: Dark Waters’ trailer is comprised of something more than stillshots:

After experiencing technical difficulties last week, we’ve set course again with a new Shoutcast Server, and the results were *mostly* an improvement. Nothing a little rum can’t fix!

This really pisses me off, because I *like* picking on Bacardi. Seriously, it’s one of the great joys in my life. Over the years I’ve dug up all kinds of news reports where somebody does something idiotic involving rum, and time and again the rum in question was Bacardi. But lately the idiots seem to be diversifying their tastes. I recently posted a story where one yahoo broke into a bar and ran off with Captain Morgan, and now this other joker gets caught shoplifting Cockspur:
Rum thief is jailed for 30 days | Bermuda Court
True, neither of these stories are as dopey as, say, the guy that strapped his Bacardi into a car seat for a high speed police chase (while neglecting to wear a seatbelt himself. But still, it’s a disturbing trend that threatens my beloved passtime of Bacardi-hatin’.
Sorry, all, but there won’t be an episode of Bilgemunky Radio this week. Our steaming streaming server had some fatal errors during last night’s broadcast, leaving us with dead air. I won’t bore you with details, but rest assured I’m doing my best to ensure next week’s show puts us back on track!
Hrm… Far off news like this is always dicey – especially when it comes to pirate matters (HOW many pirate films and videogames have been announced and never come to fruition?) But still, pirate fanatics will no doubt rejoice at this news:
‘Walking Dead’ producer plans pirate drama
Port Royal, pirates, rum, wenches… and hopefully not too many sentient sea monsters. This just might be the historical(ish) pirate story we’ve been waiting for 🙂
I don’t know. I just don’t know. Happy Monday.
