What happens at the Store?
Many have said that upon entering the best pirate supply store in San Francisco, they get a sensation of déjà vu. Others walk in and feel at once the miracle work of an unseen hand. Yet there are those whose eyes bulge and shrink simultaneously while their thoughts are so convoluted that they are unable to shout or mutter the question that most plagues them: “What is this place?”
The store log is weekly account of actual events that occur in the shop, as well as testimonials, comments and complaints from our customers.

A little girl began drawing a picture on my receipt book and demanded I guess what “animal” it was. I was given clues 1.) it had stripes 2.) it had wings 3.) it started with the letter B. After several fruitless minutes of guessing (Buffalo! Badger! Bumbershoot!) it turned out that she had drawn the ever-elusive “flying zebra,” which lives in Hawaii. When informed that “flying zebra” does not, in fact, start with the letter “B,” she told me that it does in zebra language.
