PIRATE EGG

Pirates may be cool, but no one’s ever based their affection on pirate’s intelligence (as Blackbeard said in The Simpsons “Me debauchery’s always been me way of compensating”). The pirate on this Pam's Pirate Egg lives up to that fine simple-minded tradition. He’s going to have a tough time making any loot as he’s built his pirate ship in a lake.

I am impressed that he stayed drunk long enough to build a whole sailing ship, but he’s going to be sorely disappointed when no gold-laden Spanish galleons come sailing overland.

Okay, because he’s a pirate I’m going to offer a possible explanation. The lake-bound ship is a lure for tourists travelling the Caribbean. His deck hands trawl Kingston pubs in search of rich thrill-seeking tourists, the sort of people who have a website like Karate Party (no wait, that doesn't describe us at all). The prospect of posting pictures of a wacky inland pirate ship would be too much to resist, and they would stumble into his clever trap.

Now you know how to steal my kidneys.
