Featured Quote: Pirates!




"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. 
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite. 
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. 
We burn up the city, we're really a fright. 
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. 


"We're beggars and blighters
and ne'er do-well cads, 
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. 
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads, 
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. 
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me."

"Yo Ho," by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio (1967)


Written especially for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland



Does this really need a caption?


A golden cross from the wreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha,
discovered in 1971. The piece is (at the time of this blog's
posting) part of a museum display at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida.
