Decatur Square, Decatur GA (pic submitted by Christine)
“Pirates lining up to do the Virginia Reel in front of the statue of their sworn enemy Stephen Decatur. (It was Piratepalooza [last] weekend).“

The Virginia Reel seems a bit tame for pirates! Me thinks there must have been a bawdy version around.
More accurate would have been a hornpipe jig according to impeccable internet pirate resources. But hard to do in aforementioned flip flops!
Tame? With a lubber’s head almost taken off, battered and broken limbs akimbo… she be a fierce one, I ken Virginia Reel…
And then they all drove away… in their YAAARises!
Who knew pirates wore flip flops?
“Our country! In her intercourse with pirates, may she rrrrrrrrrrrrrlways be in the right; but our country, right or wrong.” Stephen Decatur
