Greetings, my friends – My name is “Tiro Makutu Pokorua” or “Hollow Stare” for you who do not speak the ancient tongue of the Maori. I came to be in the land of the Kiwi destined to live a life of leisure lounging in a temperate sun or a soft spring rain. Then my maker said “transportation for thee!” and sent me to live in the Colonies . . .

I was sipping one down on Barbary Coast when I woke in a ship on the sea. A Pirate Ship, to my dismay, when I looked at the changes they made in me.

First my eye – a comely red of the Linde (star ruby) kind . . . set in a plug flush on the back of my head (so they can take it out whenever it pleases) . . . but only one (those pirates are cheap) . . . the rest remains buried in the treasure chest. So I needed a patch for the other eye as ye have already seen in the Pirate thread.

But I’ve had my revenge, I’m the Cap’n now of this pirate ship and I have a new name from the Yankee scum who can’t speak the tongue of the Ancient One . . . “Goes Here” I am called by all on this land, on my ship, and the sea for I go where I want and see what I see.

Now an offer for ye who a pirate would be and a share of the treasure would like to see . . . tell all my new name, how it came to be, then post it here for all to see . . . the first who is right wins a share of the treasure . . . I’ll post it right here, pmsl msg for an address, and post it right smartly when I know when to send it.

(Official Notice and Note: All the usual disclaimers, the Judge’s decision is final, and Paipo is not eligible as he already knows the answer. And, sadly, my new master says he likes me better without my fancy new garb and I can wear it only once a year on the official Aussie Pirate Day.)

Hint (October 2, 2007) - For some reason, I thought this was easy . . . but to make it somewhat clearer, the new (pirate) name is "Goes Here." Now you just have to figure how that name came to be! . . . another hint next week if there are no takers by then.

Final Hint (October 9, 2007) - The answer lies in Paipo's thread.
