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.

On Jailer Keys
For centuries a fierce rivalry has been fought along the Atlantic Seas over what bagels are better: New York or Montreal. Many the swashbuckler’s life has been laid down at the tip of a sword while screams of “Big and Doughy!” or “Thin and Crispy!” reverberated across eastern hulls and drawing quarters. While I’m not saying that our jailer keys will solve this dilemma, they are very good at opening things.

On Twine
As a popular jet-setting swinger I know a lot of people. As such, rarely a day goes by that I don’t owe SOMEONE a delicately wrapped present. After years of searching the high seas for the perfect affordable but luxurious wrapping substance, I’ve found that nothing does the trick quite like twine. Delicate but sturdy, old fashioned while still cutting edge, perfect for (practically) every occasion. Twine!

There are few things worse than a molting mop.
In exchange for a joke I offered up the “what do you call a fish with no eyes” joke. Five minutes later a little girl offered the very same joke. Eyebrows were raised, scowls offered.
Customer: We’re looking for daggers.
Me: I’m afraid we don’t carry weapons.
Customer: No Weapons?! What kind of pirate store is this?
Me: one that is also a writing center for kids.
Customer: Touche.
