Tom the anonymous commenter

Hissing through his teeth, Blackbeard—one of the most dreaded pirates who ever lived—jumps to the deck. He stands tall and lean. Pieces of rope burn like fuses among coils of his black hair. Sashes stuffed with pistols and daggers crisscross his huge chest. Black ribbons flap from the braids in his beard. Terrified sailors flee. Blackbeard and his fierce crew have pirated another ship.

In case you were wondering what the above has to do with A1 and CCM's birthday, you probably are wondering a whole lot of things I cannot possibly explain.

The above pirate story was courtesy of Tom. You remember Tom, right? My coworker and Godfather of my April Fools' Day baby.

Tom provides a never-ending source of amusement for me. I enjoy Tom.

And I've asked for more pirate stories. Stay tuned . . .
