Is Captain Drew working on bringing the Android operating system to the next version of his fabled rPhone? Tipsters have pointed us to this intriguing video of a video game featuring Captain Drew battling his arch enemies, the Cardboard Troopers. Let us know if you hear of anything else!

BREAKING NEWS – Today Captain Drew announced in a press conference at PiratePalooza’s corporate headquarters that he will be teaming with the internet giant Google in a effort to increase awareness of Google’s newest service “Google Voice” and to spur adoption of Captain Drew’s steam-powered rPhone™. Visitors to PiratePalooza.com will now be able to leave messages for the Captain via a handy Google Voice widget in the site’s sidebar, directly below an advertisement for the Captain’s rPhone™ (as featured in the infamous YouTube video “Dairy Wench”).
In what has been described as “the most confrontational press conference since Steve Jobs threw a camera at an intern” Captain Drew rambled for 35 minutes before relieving himself off the front of the stage into a trendy messenger bag carried by one of the reporters. In a fleeting moment of clarity the Captain explained:
“Well I heard tell that there be this incredible [unintelligible] net thing… and that this here Gooble bunch think that they know how to make money from this net [unintelligible] so I aims to get my [expletive] hands on their Gooble booty before any other deck sprawlers lay wind of it. Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble Gooble…..”
The Captain’s speech went on for another 8 minutes before he curled up underneath the lectern and went to sleep.
A technology reporter from WIRED magazine was heard to say “Dudes… don’t expect Gooble to team with Captain Drew anytime soon on [their next product] ‘Google Wave‘… hey, did somebody spill a drink on my bag??”

2008 ROUTE
We apologize for the late changes to this year’s bloody schedule, but an unexpected squall has blown us off-course! Fortunately, there still be a way to the Palooza what allows us to invade Decatarrrr!!!
Location 1 : Taco Mac (2pm – 3pm)
Why not start at a place what gives you 92 beers on draught and a variety of 200 more in bottles? Sure, they’ve got them nasty loud talking picture boxes all over the wall, but for the variety of ale these folks sport I figure you’ll be cheering for them sissy ball players before you know it!
Location 2 : Eddie’s Attic (3pm – 4pm)
After we stagger up the hill and hang a right at the courthouse we’ll clamber up the stairs to Mister Eddie’s Attic. You must admit that Mister Eddie and his crew have been fantastic to us each and every year we’ve gone there and this year be no exception! They’ll have us some sort of grog and maybe something nice and affordable to nibble on (I said “nibble”). We’re not sure if we’ll have any musicians what can play for us here, but maybe we will!!
Location 3 : The Brick Store Belgian Bar (4pm – 5pm)
Arrive just as they open the Belgian Bar, tumble your way up the stairs and ask for one of their indescribably delicious high-gravity beers, but ONLY if you’ve already arranged for someone to transport your scurvy behind to the next location, The James Joyce, which is over a mile away in Avondale Estates (see the map). Be sure to tip your waiters, and be sure to ask for Greg, who can show you how to “whistle for whiskey”!!
TRAVEL BREAK
You have ONE hour to get from downtown Decatarrr out to Avondale Estates. Yes, there technically *is* an Avondale MARTA train station, and yes, you could ride from downtown Decatarrr out TO that train station… but you need to know that it’s a 0.5 mile walk between those two points… so while we do encourage you to save fuel and get some exercise, you should consider the comfort of your boots before you begin that route (which won’t be quite as friendly as Decatarrrr). IF you do elect to drive, please make sure that you have a designated driver. Wouldn’t you feel damned silly getting pulled over by a land lubber with a flashy blue lantern on top of his autocarriage?? There is good parking at The James Joyce, but if you arrive late you may need to look for parking in the vicinity and stroll down to join us.
Location 4 : The James Joyce (6pm – 10pm)
The PiratePalooza™ Concert begins around 6pm and builds into the evening, ending around 10pm due to noise ordinances for the folks what live in the neighborhood. This is where you can hear some fantastic seafaring music played live by the bands mentioned in a previous post. Be sure to save back a little money to buy one of their albums, one of the limited-edition PiratePalooza™ shirts and of course a new sword, as your old one may have already gone out of fashion!!™
