I stumbled upon the 1952 movie classic "Blackbeard the Pirate" on TV a few months ago and am thoroughly convinced that this movie is soley responsible for cementing the utterance "ARRRRR" into everyone's pirate vocabulary. If anyone feels up to taking on an "extra credit" project, I would really be interested in knowing how many times the man who played Blackbeard said "ARRRRR" in this movie as a punctuation to nearly every line! Of course Blackbeard was a real pirate who terrorized the Carribean waters in the late 1600's / early 1700's. His flagship "Queen Anne's Revenge" was discovered in the Beaufort Inlet in N. Carolina (shipwreck# 0003BUI).
