Comment by Ceri Shaw on January 14, 2009 at 12:43pm: We need more pirate contestants!! We don't expect you to spend a fortune on costumes and were upping the prize money to $100 for this competition. Please note that whilst we appreciate drawings and artwork its really YOU we want to see in all your piratical finery ( or shabbiness ). A handkerchief, a belt and a stuffed parrot will do. Here are some pirate impersonators to inspire you in a promotional video for the excellent anthology of pirate stories:- Fast Ships, Black Sails You will find amongst them ( toward the end ) Rhys Hughes , brilliant Welsh absurdist author and Americymru member.:-
