Shiver me timbers! So it be that Burn The Ships be an Ole Spice fer pirates, savvy?

This here soap was named fer ol' Hérnan Córtes, a gentleman of fortune (though some called 'm Pirate o' th' Yucatan). He burned up all his ships when he went aground t' chase the treasures o' the Aztecs. Y' see 'twas t' keep his lily-livered mates from backin' down 'n sailin' away. spit

Arr, I threw me 7 Doubloons in 'cause every pirate needs some booty an' some Ole Spice 'cause it's nice.

This do be meetin' theme and challenge, as agreed. Hear now -- give me all yer points or y' do be walkin' the plank! Arrr.
