Any good pirate knows that it isn’t just the pillaging, it is the fear of pillaging. Let them know you are coming by flying a pirate flag for all to see.

Warning: the following information will not instill fear into the hearts of your foes.

The sale of these pirate flags supports a good cause. 826 Valencia is a writing center devoted to helping students from 8–18. They offer free tutoring, workshops, and much more.

I would not recommend disclosing this before shouting “walk the plank!”

About 13 bucks from 826 Valencia Shop
