Don't know a Poop Deck from a Prow? 

Here be a list of terminology to help ye out!

Aft - the rear of the ship
Bilge - the lowest part of a ship
Bowspirit - slanted spar of a ship's prow
Crow's Nest - small platform at the top of a ship's mast
Fore - the front of a ship
Head - toilet facilities on a ship (see you don't use the Poop Deck for a potty break - ye might be made to walk the plank if ye do that)
Jolly Roger - the skull and crossbones flag of a Pirate Ship
Poop Deck - highest deck at the aft end of a large ship
Port - the left side of a ship
Prow - the ship's "nose"
Starboard - the right side of a ship

There, don't you feel a bit smarter now? At least you won't have any "accidents" on the Poop Deck.

Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist. The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow's (Academy Award(R) Nominee Johnny Depp) idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor's beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley).

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (Widescreen Edition)

Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film.

You've read about it in Dave Barry's blog. Maybe you caught one of our radio or TV interviews. Or maybe you just stumbled on to our site while googling around for sites your mother probably wouldn't approve of.

What's Your Pirate Name?
This short 2 page online quiz will ask you a few odd questions in order to determine your pirate name.

I did the quiz and my pirate name is:

Dirty Roger Roberts

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

Cheap entertainment for your little pirates on a rainy afternoon. Print out the pirate mask and have your kids color it. Make some pirate swords out of cardboard, attach the pirate masks, and let the adventure begin!

He's a Pirate 

He's A Pirate

Pirates of the Caribbean fanvid to the brilliant song "He's A Pirate" from the movie itself. Just a quick recap of the movie, very fun, but no concept. All in the spirit of the coming movie! **Ok, once and for all, this song is called "He's A Pirate," it is NOT a classical song (but it is done by an orchestra) and the composer is Klaus Badelt - NOT Hans Zimmer. I don't know why so many people make that mistake.**
