As some of you know, I thought Pirates of the Caribbean was a pretty enjoyable summer flick, and not just because it features Orlando "Legolas" Bloom, a.k.a. Captain Hottie, Swashbuckler of the High Seas. I remembered after seeing the movie that none other than Dave Eggers, my favorite bizarro genius novelist, runs a fully stocked pirate store out of 826 Valencia, a center for free tutoring in writing for kids he established in San Francisco. If only I could somehow visit the store with Orlando and Dave and sail off on some kind of wacky adventure...sigh, that's what the internet is for...
