As many of you know, my life's been plagued by pirates lately, not least of which my traitorous first mate Nelson. Rather than try to keep beating them, I've decided to join them--sort of. If you go to my homepage-- http://blubberybastard.tripod.com -- there's a new logo/link/thing you click for the Pirate Ring, as their club's called. Some of you educated folks like bard and leibniz (who might know some of the dead pirates profiled) might like it, and your clicking it a bunch would be a favor to me as it'll keep those bastards off my stern so I can fry bigger fish.

Thanks, mates,

Gus
