When I was reeeeeally little (like, barely-just-learned-to-read little) I liked to obsess over four things: Ancient Egypt, Greecian myths, bats, and pirates. I think I have read every pirate book, at one point or another, in the entirety of the santa cruz county library system. My dad and I would stay up late watching old pirate movies (including the ones Gracey mentioned), sing pirate songs and dress up in piratey stuff. Me and my friends even had pirate-themed birthday parties. XD Ah, the good ol' days...
And I would definitely go as a pirate for Halloween this year, if I wasn't sure every other comment would mention the PotC sequel. Then again, I'll prolly still go as one anyway.
