Ahoy, Mateys! Ye may have heard yer lady pirate exclaim at some point: “oh, no! I’ve got split ends!” And then ye may have thought to yerself: “what’s the lass talkin’ about?” We are men! We are manly men! We are pirates! Certain things just go way over our heads. Ladies and lasses (should ye…
Ahoy, Mateys! Now, as ye surely know, today is Ash Wednesday. And that means one thing – Mardi Gras has come to an end – always a very sad realization for us pirates who enjoy carousing, drinking, and flirting with busty wenches. To make ye buccaneers feel better, the Cap’n has a Mardi Gras story…
Ahoy, Mateys! In his last blog scroll, the Cap’n mentioned “Friendly Mutton Chops” and that seems to have pricked the ears of the discerning pirate, ‘cause we got a few emails with questions about those Friendly Mutton Chops. Or maybe there are many fans of that rascally swashbuckler Wolverine on this here ship, since he…
Ahoy, Mateys! As ye know we live in the bearded age. Wherever ye go it’s beards and beards galore. The Cap’n loves it and surely so do you. With 2017 really underway now, the Cap’n thought it’s high time (no… not high times… that’s after sundown when the ship is docked) to look at trending…
Ahoy, Mateys! You know what day is comin’ up. And if ye don’t, the Cap’n is here to remind ye – ‘cause if ye forget, ye know how yer lass is gonna react, right? (Hint: hide yer sword.) So, swarthy swashbuckler, Valentine’s Day is next week. The 14th of February… quickly, mark it in yer…
Ahoy, Mateys! We’ve been getting emails about the chinstrap beard. Hence, the Cap’n assumes some of you fearless marauders are thinking of taking the plunge… or the strap… as that may be. Other pirates may still be wondering what a chinstrap beard is. A chinstrap, in the strictest sense, is exactly what it sounds like….
Ahoy, Mateys! Now, the Cap’n is a big fan of Walter White. Ye know, that rascal Heisenberg from New Mexico. The Cap’n especially likes his look. The bald head plus beard makes him seem like a powerful swashbuckler. It’s a trend that’s been around for a while. It has staying power ‘cause of its definite…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s talk about the Van Dyke. No, not Dick. (Yes, me hearties, the Cap’n is dating himself with that here reference. The Cap’n remembers Dick van Dyke and walking to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways.) Anyway, buccaneers, let’s talk about that style known as the Van Dyke beard. What is…
Ahoy, Mateys! ‘Tis the season… the cold one. Winter be upon us. If ye have a beard and live in a not-so-temperate zone yer a lucky pirate, cause yer beard will keep ye warm. I’ve even heard swashbucklers swear up and down the canal that their beards grow more quickly in winter. (Sorry, lads, it…
Ahoy, Mateys! Happy New Year! Can ye believe it’s already 2017? Where has the time gone? The Cap’n still thinks it’s 1817. But here we are. In yet another new year. What, oh swashy swashbuckler, oh rascally rascal, does it mean to enter a whole new year, ye may ask? Most folks, pirates and landlubbers…
