Considering yesterday was the Talk like a Pirate Day (and it still is, somewhere in the world, for a few minutes), today here’s a selection of highlights from the 1976 movie Swashbuckler, still one of my favorite pirate movies.
Great music.
Enjoy!

Ladies & Elephants
My friend Claire loves elephants, and of course we’re just a few day after the Elephants Day, and basically this is the long tail of the unreliable week, I just rewatched Mogambo, and so I thought… why not post a gallery of pictures of ladies with elephants?

I’ve always been fascinated by The Explorers Club, even since I discovered its existence as a kid.
By now I’ve accepted the idea that I’ll never be a member1, but here’s a short introduction to the organization anyway.
