three cheers for the pirate captain

Avast, me hearties! 'Tis I, The Haiku Master, with a whale of a report for you -- pirates are within a handsbreadth of winning their first elected post since their glory days, and it's all thanks to North Carolina State University's The Pirate Captain!

The Pirate Captain Looks To Be A Lock For NCSU's Student Body President

In last week's election for NCSU's Student Body President, T.P.C. keelhauled 44% of the vote in a race against three landlubbers, and looks to be a lock against his sole remaining competitor, the oddly named Will Quick, in next week's runoff. Which means that fine academy will soon be America's premier haven for blackguards, scalliwags, cutthroats, bad eggs, and rogues everywhere!

As a result, the Sultan of Syllables gladly endorses The Pirate Captain for this and any other public office he may seek in the future, up to and including President of the United States of America. Or even Pope! So sayeth I... The Haiku Master!

Best,
