I think you're lying. I think you used a time machine and took a picture. >.<

If I had a time machine, I wouldn't come back.
I'd be too busy making history in a ship like that!

I'm no Blackbeard, lol.
I do, however, bear a slight resemblance to a famous Canadian privateer captain from the 1800s named Joseph Barrs: [link]
(I even dressed up as him for Halloween once when I was living in the Canadian Maritimes.)

Nice! I thought it was a photograph.
I don't like how it's blurry, but it's still lovely!

Thanks. I'm not fond of the blurriness myself, but after some really bad experiences with rippers, I started posting the not-so-perfect versions of my pics so rippers won't be tempted to steal them.

Seriously, I thought this was a photo, and a good one, that I was gonna favorite anyway. (It appears I already favorited it before it was super popular.) Good to see it again anyway. Excellent work!

Thanks Kindly!
There's a lot of nautical/piratical blood on the Canadian side of the Atlantic as well.
Give a listen to two classic Canadian chanties:
"Oh the year was 1778,
how i wish i was in Sherbrooke now!
A letter of mark came from the King
to the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen.
God damn them all, I was told,
We'd cruise the seas for American gold.
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears!
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier:
The Last of Barrett's Privateers... "
Hear it here: [link]
It's a great tune for down the pub when the pints are flowing, as is this other one called Northwest Passage:

No problem! And cheers! Much obliged! Heh, I know people in Halifax that I'm sure wouldn't take much convincing to turn them to pirating! All the men on my mother's side going back generations have been nautical folk!
