This week’s assignment from the League: Pirates!

League of Extraordinary Bloggers - Pirates

So far this month, we’ve talked about Spies, Cowboys, and Spacemen, and the voting was all over the place for the next (and last) genre to tackle:

Monsters – 4
Robots – 4
Pirates – 6
Super heroes – 2
Soldiers – 2
Ninjas – 1
Ghosts – 1
Sci Fi characters – 1
Cops – 1
Sea creatures – 1

So, after the votes were counted, it looks like we’ll be talking like a pirate, Arrrrrgh!

This week’s assignment from the League of Extraordinary Bloggers:

–

“Pirates.”

—

league logo Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    I was never into pirates, so I’ve struggled to come up with anything meaningful except to say that I always wanted these (and my friend had them) but could never find them anywhere:
