wHERE is Willets Point? How am I supposed to know when to talk like a Pirate?

Those questions are not asked necessarily in order of my concern.

MUTINEER
By Warren Zevon

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Hoist the mainsail - here I come
Ain't no room on board for the insincere
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer

I was born to rock the boat
Some may sink but we will float
Grab your coat - let's get out of here
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer

Long ago we laughed at shadows
Lightning flashed and thunder followed us
It could never find us here
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer

Long ago we laughed at shadows
Lightning flashed and thunder followed us
It could never find us here
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer

I was born to rock the boat
Some may sink but we will float
Grab your coat - let's get out of here
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer
You're my witness
I'm your mutineer
I'm your mutineer......

I can't listen to this song without getting choked up. And I'm not even a Zevon fan.

That's all I got....

And I'm leavin' my family
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

REAL pirates have hijacked a Ukranian ship carrying (amongst other things) 33 Russian T-72 tanks to Kenya.

The Radical Pirate, though the tougher looking of the two, looks like he got the worst of it.
