Description

Great Scene, Terrible Sourcing

Nothing ruins a dinner party faster than the guest who knows the famous bit never really happened, and nothing makes that guest happier. For the podcast listener who pauses to fact-check, the history teacher with a myths unit, and the trivia captain who wins on the bonus round.

  • Fact Check: Walking the plank is almost undocumented for Golden Age pirates; the few recorded cases are later, and the idea was popularized by 19th-century fiction, notably Stevenson's Treasure Island in 1883, and by film.
  • Teacher Appreciation: End of year, start of year, or the week the state test is finally over.
  • Correct, Annoyingly: For the friend who is right too often and knows it.


Damien swears the best stories start after sundown on the dock, when the breeze turns cool and nobody wants to go below deck ~ this Comfort Colors long sleeve tee is made for exactly that watch: soft garment-dyed ring-spun cotton, a relaxed lived-in fit and sleeves all the way to the wrist, sizes S through 3XL ~ hoist the colors and stay out a little longer
