The Oddies

Arrgh! Ahoy Mateys!!

Ever since I saw Muppet Treasure Island I've had a hankering to be a Pirate (Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley have got nothing on Kermit and Miss Piggy) but then again I tend to get sea sick and am petrified of parrots - talking birds just aren't right!!

Oddieworld has its very own resident Pirate crew who fiercely patrol Foot Sea aboard the 'Good Ship Oddie Sock' and this got me thinking.... There a certain things that every good Pirate Captain has to have; a Parrot (preferably called Polly), a beard (usually blue (?) or black), a hat, a hook and most importantly... a peg leg!!

Now peg legs don't require socks....so our Pirate sock must of come from the remaining foot (stay with me) which means...if you see a one peg legged, one bare footed Pirate on your travels - firstly, hide any gold/treasure maps/potential booty that you have on your person and secondly, give him a nod in the direction of Oddieworld to let him know his missing sock is happily plundering the Good Oddies treasures - that should make him smile!

My pirate name is:

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
