"And now for something completely different..."
Well, it was bound to happen. Something had to bring the good state of North Carolina down from our high, other than those anti-cigarette "Truth" ads (though to my knowledge, they haven't specifically targeted our state just yet).
North Carolina wins the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.
North Carolina wins Miss USA.
North Carolina elects the first Pirate Captain as Student Body President at a state university.
Wait, huh? They say trends come in three's; good, bad, expect three of them. Only thing is, I can't figure out if this is awesome or asinine.
Our school rival down the road, N.C. State of Raleigh, just had their runoff election for Student Body President. Who won? A fellow by the name of... (drum roll, accordion squeeze, parrot squawk please)
The Pirate Captain.
Yeah, The Pirate Captain. He dresses in white frilly shirts (shades of Seinfeld here), has a long blonde wig, and an eye-patch (no hook or peg-leg to my knowledge). All his goons wear flimsy black pirate hats with the skull and crossbones that look like they came from Burger King. And he's got a patsy to play little diddies on the accordion and another to carry around the jolly roger (big pirate flag).
Get a glance of the madness here (you can skip until the last third when the winner is announced).
Should I be jealous? I know East Carolina University should be. They ARE the freakin' pirates. Maybe a Ninja President would be cool. Or a Viking.
Either way, I hear Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" gave their campaign a call this week and said if The Pirate Captain won, they'd do a story about it on the show. So look for that this week. Bring on more national attention baby! North Carolina is on a roll!
I leave you now with a joke, shamelessly stolen from someone I know.
"Why are pirates called pirates?
Because they Arrrrrrrr!"
