    Avast! There Be Pirate Chanites Here!

    http://www.arrr.net/songs/

    Came across this in my wanderings, and after playing lots of Sid Meiers Pirates
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Ay, that puts a shiver in me timber!

    I've got a collection of about 6 or 8 CDs of shanties and sea songs. My favorite is Gold by The Corsairs. If you can find one, grab it. If you don't like it, I will personally refund your money.

    Guys, guys, guys... It's spelled "chanties" (pronounced "shanties"). And remember, in Star Trek's 24<sup>th</sup> century, Louis, Louis is considered a sea chanty,at least according to Chief O'Brien.

    I once wrote and posted a space chanty, "The Starship Valhalla" set to the tune of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

    I don't think it drew much attention at the time.

    Shanty, chanty.

    Either spelling is accepted.

    As for Louie Louie, that really is a shanty. It's not just in 24th century kayak holoprograms; but I'm not sure what version of it Miles likes.
