But I wanna be a pirate!
You're exactly what's wrong with people in America today, CycloneErik. We're a ME, ME, ME society who wants it NOW, NOW, NOW. My parents NEVER had a nodding pirate and they did just fine. You need to ask yourself if a nodding pirate is a need or is it a want? Dig deep and really think about it. If it's truly a need, then maybe you'll get it. In fact, check the new Spending Bill.....there very well may be an earmark in there for it.
