Wally... when you're a Pirate... you just don't ask for permission nor
partake of etiquette. Fly the darned Flag anywhere it pleases you. If some
fool comes up alongside and laments the fact... have your crew stand to the
rail and drop their "gunports" to adequately fire a proper barge of
"Moons"....

I carry one of those stuffed plush Parrots... [it was a gift from the Girls
on my last Hen Frigate Tour].

BTW... you should really get a good Pirates Hat! [ not one of those lame gay
Greek Fisherman's Hats like Oz wears]
