Ahoy, mateys! International Talk Like a Pirate Day is nearly here! In honor of this festive occasion, I thought I would mention this amazing piece of mechanical engineering I came across at work and have decided to steal for the name of some throwaway character in a story some day.
"Who was THAT?!"
"That's 3 Jaw Chuck. Heart of gold, really," she shook her head and grimaced. "Terrible luck with axes, though, has Chuck."
"Ah," he said faintly. "Yes." He swallowed and looked back again. "How is he alive?"
"Bit of a miracle, really."
All writers are thieves and pirates, as one of my mentors once said. We steal any words that aren't nailed down and sail the world in search of treasures.
Come across any good treasure troves lately?
