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.

Most unique barter of the day: A sea turtle impression. A young boy swam across the store and did an impression of the turtle eating his dad’s leg. I offered a peg leg as I was so impressed, but it was declined.

A four year old in a cape told me the following story:
Once upon a time there was a castle. The castle was at the bottom of the sea. One day a great white shark ate the castle,

Staff pick: compass!
We all know that wherever you go, there you are, but what if where you are is on a leaky dingy with only an oar and your barnacle-encrusted toes to keep you company? Well, shiver me timbers if you wouldn't wish you had a compass along for the ride. Take it from someone who's been there; a compass is your best bet for getting out of wide-open oceanic and emotional spaces.

These are the things I wish I could do for the four seasons. In the summer I wish I could go to the lake. In the fall I wish I could jump in a pile of leaves. In the winter I wish I could have a snowball fight with my big sister Sara. In the spring I wish I could go camping. I love the four seasons. My favorite is summer.

Staff Pick: eyepatch
Look, I know what you're thinking: "Do I really need ANOTHER eyepatch?" The answer, while unequivocably yes, is complicated. Have you considered the size of your head? The diameter of your right eye versus your left? Have you changed your color palette recently? Don't you think it's about time? I mean, seriously, weren't you weren't green and black this time three years ago? Did it even look good then? Wasn't everyone just trying to keep your feelings from getting hurt? Eye patches: it's time.

There are currently four people in the store wearing black and white horizontal-striped shirts. None seem to recognize their soul-mates of color coordination or that there are similar shirts hanging on the rack behind them. Maybe this is what it's like every day working at The Gap.
