But looking like a pirate and talking like one isn't what it really takes to be a modern 21st century buccaneer. Those things are piratey to behold, but it took being on Wife Swap to truly understand what being a pirate means--adopting the attitude of a pirate from the inside. I'm not talking about pillaging and plundering. I'm talking about having the courage to show the world who you really are, and never apologizing for it. And believe me, if you do reality TV, you had better have an honest grasp of your persona and not be afraid to show the world--fleas and all.
Wife Swap was convinced our family's level of "pirate" was, indeed, good enough to represent the pirate community, so our messy, chaotic, creative, freedom-loving pirate family was paired up with a rigidly ordered, controlled and controlling family who, I swear on Great Neptune's man nipples, actually lives by the credo, "appearance is everything." They actually said, "You judge a book by its cover."
