I love Ryan North kind of a lot because he came up with A Time Traveler's Essentals Shirt
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nothing romantic or lovable about real pirates.
Not true. The charter they sailed under was a working model for anarchist styled democracies. Pirate utopias are pretty fascinating, actually. Recruitment was not that uncommon. And it was far better to be a pirate than a member of the British Navy. While there were certainly pirates who were sadistic killers, it wasn't the norm and wasn't considered good for business. I'd expect you found as many sadists among Her Majesty's navy where the slightest infractions could get you scourged or keelhauled.

Our wings are not tired.
Still, you can't discount that pirates stole for a living. I am not cool with that.

“Not dead yet!”

One could argue the British Navy did the same.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a sudden urge to shout "Hardison", and then run away.

Just ran my lip into a wall.
But plates, bowls, mugs and assorted other things are all boxed up.

Why?
For that matter, how?

As Barb notes, all of the world's navies of that era were encouraged to take booty. Plus, the British kidnapped men to work on their ships. War of 1812 was started by their habit of impressing Americans.

Yeah, I know all that. I still don't like stealing. In any of its forms.

Why?
Because the wall got too close.
For that matter, how?
The wall wasn't where it was supposed to be.
My spacial awareness is shot.
