826 Valencia - Store Log

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.

Fat Lips Normandy Changes His Ways

Before he came to live with us in relative peace and harmony, the cinnamon clown fish found in our fish theater was known as “Fat Lips” Normandy. “Fat Lips” was the most notorious muscle in all of gangland Chicago. If a debt was owed or a lesson was in need of learning, the brownish glow of “Fat Lips” Normandy was never far away. Yet after witnessing the Valentine’s Day Massacre, Normandy felt a chill down to his fishy bones. Normandy suffered an extreme change of consciousness, no longer able to continue his life of thuggery. We found "Fat Lips" some years ago, hitchhiking outside San Leandro California, shivering in a torn green poncho as the rain poured down. He looked scared, fragile, and in need of solace.

A man came in the store and said some of the following to me:

-I am running for governor of California
-I had a mistress, but I never slept with her. I taught her how to play chess. I love my wife.
-I just went off Lithium, and once I was blind, but now I can see.
-I missed most of high school. It was the 60s.
