Sorry friends. I know it’s been a slow few days, but life-life has required too much of my attention to properly keep things in order here. There will be a return to normal next week.

Captain Morgan has a new wench – Marisa Miller
Posted on June 30th, 2010
This is a good week for wenches. It seems Marisa Miller is the new Spokeswench for Captain Morgan rum. Her official title is “Official First Mate”. I’m sure putting the word “Mate” near anything to do with Marisa Miller is anything but coincidence.
For anyone not familiar with Marisa Miller, you’re dead, blind, completely out of touch with media, or perhaps all of the above. Above all however, you’re missing out.
She’s been the number one spot in Maxim’s Hot 100, models for Victoria’s Secret and has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue. And that’s just scratching the surface of her professional sexiness. You should see her in the Harley Davidson campaign. Wow!
In regards to working with the Captain:
“It’s a great opportunity to work with a brand that is synonymous with fun,” said Marisa Miller. “Captain Morgan is all about celebrating legendary times and I’m excited to be on board as the Captain’s First Mate.”
Monday Catch-up: Rum runners, Stranger Tides plots, the fight for Captain Morgan…

Monday again. Yayyyyy. Let’s see what interested me…
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are battling for Captain Morgan. The Virgin Islands “promised nearly $3 billion in tax subsidies to the owner of Captain Morgan if it moves the rum-making operation to St. Croix” and on top of that, apparently this is also a race issue. Via The Washington Post
The Northern California Pirate Festival was over the weekend. They estimated 40,000 attendees, a good number of whom attempted to set the world record for the largest gathering of pirates. Via SFGate
Disney put out a press release for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. No more guessing about plots and whatnot. And the best news, Gibbs is back! WOOHOO! Via Live For Films
There’s a Pirates of the Burning Sea expansion coming out in August. For those of you who know this game ever existed, I was also totally thinking “Wow, that shit’s still alive?”. For those who never heard of it, it’s a Pirate themed MMORPG that went live when it should have stayed waaaaay beta. Maybe I’ll have to give it another shot. Via MMO Reviews
Under The Black Flag put out two articles on historical locations that played major roles in the Golden Age of Piracy. One article is about Nassau and the other is about the Bahamas. Both are interesting reads. Via Under The Black Flag here and here
The former USS Dexter was scuttled in Lake Michigan on Friday. The USS Dexter was that ship that sank the Canadian rum-runner I’m Alone back in 1929. Via The Vancouver Sun
