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.

Deck Prisms Bring Sunshine Not Matrimony
These prisms are placed in the deck of a ship to illuminate the dark quarters below. They’ll keep the lives of your crew filled with sunshine, while keeping your more clumsy members from burning your flagship sky high with a misplaced candle or slippery oil lamp. They are not, as my ex-fiancée pointed out, "gems from the ends of the earth designed specifically for engagement rings."
Cordelia, if you read this, give me a call sometime... if you want... you know... It doesn’t have to be weird.

Mr. Isaac’s Concise Reminiscence of Certain Hose of Certain Length of Certain Blood Relation:
“My father bestowed upon me my first pair of Sea Hose when I was all but eight years of age. They brought such a pleasant sensation to my lower extremities that, sixteen years anon, I have yet to take them off.”
Mr. Scott’s Concise Riposte of Mr. Isaac’s Concise Reminiscence of Certain Hose of Certain Length of Certain Blood Relation:
“Their fragrance be dire. Makes a great gift.”
