pedantherA good crew, derring-do on the high seas, victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, terrible pirate puns, and lots and lots of lovely shiny historically-inaccurate golden pieces of eight.

Footnotes:
[1] And what does it say that I had to think carefully to not type "defeat snatched from the jaws of victory"?
[2] Real pieces of eight are, of course, silver. But what the hey, it's gold, I'll take it. As the Bard wrote (probably in 'Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter'), gold by any other name...

Which reminded me of Charles Dickens' famous novel about treasure-seeking pirates, Crate Expectations.
