And what is a Breacaneer? Why, it is a kilt wearing pirate you trooserlubber.

(Please note, when I came home from the bank, the wife suprised me with the camera. She was really quite taken with how I look. Gogo getting back to normal)





A Breacaneer is typically found wearing a Hawaiian shirt, usually in a loud and obnoxious print. Kilt is in a solid colour, although particularly viscious Breacaneers may wear a Loud MacLeod kilt with a bright yellow Hawaiian shirt. These individuals should be feared, respected, and kept at a distance. (And viewed through welding masks or eclipse goggles) Hair is typically dreadlocks or long haired, and big bushy scary beards are a common site. In this particular subjects hand, there is a bottle of fermented lemon kombucha brew. Nothing frightens a Breacaneer more than scurvy, the only known natural enemy of the Breacaneer. To keep this foul arch nemisis away, all manner of cures are assembled. Limes in ginger beer, rum, limes and lemons to eat, rum, limes and lemons in tea, rum, citrus kombucha fermented brews, rum, and pina coladas. (With rum) Scurvy is a deadly foe, and it is not to be underestimated. A Breacaneer will go to any length to defend himself (or herself) from their most hated foe. Also of note are the boat shoes, a light comfortable pair, open and airy, suitable for tropical climates. No socks. A devil may care grin and wide legged stance is also typical. A slight stagger or swagger is usually spotted during times of movement. (Sadly, the defenses against scurvy do not bring themselves) Some particularly colourful Breacaneers may even be afflicted with voodoo Calypso curses. Breacaneers give up worrying about being highlanders or lowlanders, and are instead content to be sandlanders.

The one thing you will never see a Breacaneer in is troosers. In this case, it is truly better to be a pirate than it is to join the Navy.
