The Blackbeard Movement

It's happening all across the country.

I noticed, as I was shopping for mustard, a display of pirate ships.


And, is it just in my local town, or has mustard sales gone up? Not to mention the following:


Sure, the creator of this shirt says it's a political statement, but we all know that he's alluding to the fact that he is a Stede Bonnet fan.

...and speaking of politics...

It is becoming more obvious, what with powerful political persons mimicking Governor Johnson.



In the following photo, Governor Hoeven contemplates shaving his mustache that he may look more like Governor Johnson.

As for this last weekend, it has become obvious that Blackbeard fans everywhere are boldly showing their love for the Pirate of pirates and his motley crew.


I can think of no other reason for all the sail boats I saw this past weekend...along with all the people taking to water:


I, myself, decided to go on vacation this past weekend. But, even trying to take a break from Blackbeard being my life, I found that Blackbeard is, indeed, everywhere.

For example:

I thought I had found a rustic cabin in the middle of a pristine forest...only to find that it was undeniably designed after a pirate ship, no doubt Blackbeard's:


On closer inspection, it was readily apparent that the window was fashioned after the bowels of a ship:

Arising the next morning, I even found that my breakfast cereal had a hidden message.

Don't you see it? Have a closer look:

Yes. Those are miniature anchors that you are seeing. "Mom's Best" wants us to know the prominent position they are taking on Blackbeard: the Musical.

And, of course, ChipMates. I was, naturally, drawn to these cookies over all others in the aisle.

Another favorite of Mr. Hands, no doubt.

Keep it up, my fellow Blackbeard fans. We will yet see Blackbeard: the Musical on Broadway.
