Now, oftroy, I am intentionally starting a new thread rather than heading out on a wild tangent on milum's Orca thread. This is a new direction for me. Here goes:
Reading about the Orca called the Ocra on the whale thread made me remember Ocracoke. Ocracoke is where Blackbeard--the infamous pirate who had twists of burning hemp woven into his beard during attacks to make him look like a fiend--met his end. From what I read about Blackbeard, seems he took several hits before finally going down. He was full of rum.
Anyway, Ocra doesn't have anything to do with okra, but it sounds native American. Does anyone know? (The idea of Coke and okra sounds horrid, but I suppose a highly seasoned gumbo would be washed down well with Coke.)
Best regards,
WW
PS: oftroy, this question doesn't seem thread worthy, but I'm aiming to mend my tangential ways.
