So let’s hear it for Robert Newton, whose masterly 1950 performance as Long John Silver provided the template for every pirate since (until Johnny Depp had the talent and the wit to do something different).

You hear about that new pirate movie that's coming out? It's rated aaaar.*

*Joke only works in the U.S., Canadian provinces other than Quebec, and whatever other countries follow a rating system similar to that established by The Motion Picutre Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration. How's that for cultural diversity?

Just like there's an academic treatise on pencil sharpening, there's also a song about this holiday, the lyrical content of which has next to nothing to do with the holiday itself.

Did you hear about the guy who got his whole left side cut off (by a pirate, of course)? He's all right now.
