The SearchCommander recently made a recent post on his blog regarding a google experiment involving two things I abhor into one bar that I'm guaranteed to hate. In the past, I've asserted that pirates suck and I'd rather drink bacon grease than smugly congratulate myself for my moral suepriority, so you can imagine just how excited I would be to visit http://www.veganpiratebar.com. Only it's not a real place.

But I was curious about his challenge so I googled vegan pirate bar, I did indeed discover a real one, right here in NW Portland. Only it's known as the Pirate Tavern and it has a creepy website that is part videogamer/part scifi geek/part. Why don't people tell me when these places open up? We're supposed to be an authority on the matter, damnit.
