Superman Never Eats.

Back from my recent soiree as a pirate entertainer, I was asked why I rarely if ever eat while I’m in costume. Sure, I’ll nibble on something now and then, but rarely will I pack in the groceries, even though I may be starving at the time. I replied, quite...

I Got My Mojo Back.

As you saw a couple days ago, re-enacting and the desire to get laid really took its toll on me. Things had gone so far downhill that I had not only begun to lose my soul, but worse, my Pirate Mojo. I remember the day I first got my mojo. I was in the party room at...

Having Faith Hurts

First, this isn’t a story of a conquest over a lass who was named Faith. I don’t need to blast my love life all over the Net. But it is a funny story, one that always makes my friends laugh. So, here we go. Many years ago I was seeing a woman from...

Mea Culpas from a Piratical Soul

I continually laugh at the things I’ve done in my life. Some I will never share with anyone on this earth, of course. But this morning, I remembered a fun thing we did to my one time friend Buckwheat’s girlfriend, Denise. Suffice it to say she was not the...
