George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He tried to make light of this during his lightning talks at the annual Pirate Conference.
Lightning talks are where a bunch of presenters talk about a subject for five minutes.
It’s sort of like Toastmasters.
Despite not being good at piracy, George liked speaking to a captive audience about it.
Well, figuratively captive. A literally captive audience made him nervous and self-conscious.
Which is why he didn’t kidnap many people and hold them for ransom.
He preferred to just borrow money from people and not pay it back.
