The Pirate Shop carries an extensive array of essential pirate paraphernalia: various Jolly Roger flags, glass eyes, lard, spyglasses, skeleton keys, etc. It's also a book store associated with McSweeney's and The Believer literary journals, and an after-school tutoring center. However, while all pegleg and hook-hand needs can be met at the store may want to purchase a cutlass elsewhere as the following dialog illustrates

Customer: We're looking for daggers.
Pirate Clerk: I'm afraid we don’t carry weapons.
Customer: No Weapons?! What kind of pirate store is this?
Pirate Clerk: One that is also a writing center for kids.
Customer: Touche.

    I love the mirrors with beards and mustaches. This would be a good place for a link to "Talk Like a Pirate Day". http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
