Pirate words this week. Fun topic. I lived for a few years in Tampa, FL where they have a huge parade and celebration called Gasparilla. This is a celebration of the defense of the town against pirates invading via sea. Pirates [local wealthy business people in full pirate regalia] are everywhere, there is a huge parade and much merriment. My best pirate joke: What type socks do pirates wear? aaaarrrrgyles... [don't forget to roll the r].
