Dear Mystery Swashbuckler,
I see you. There you are, looking like a modern day pirate, with your pointy booties, embroidered jeans, striped collared shirt with ostentatiously large turned up cuffs, single ear gage, and slick mustache and beard. Yep. I see you.
I really like how you modernized the centuries old pirate look. I imagine most people don’t catch on, but when our eyes met as you passed, I knew you knew I knew your secret identity.
You nodded. I said hello. But in the back of my mind, I knew we both meant, “Aarr!”
Godspeed, me modern buccaneer. Godspeed.

You crack me up. And you totally should have said Arrggh out-loud.
I almost did. It took a lot of self restraint not to. And once I passed him I just busted out laughing. I’m sure he was wondering what my problem was.
