George vs. Lafitte

Eighteen years ago, I started this podcast.
I’m just as surprised as you are that it’s still going.
———
George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He interviewed to join Campeche in Galveston, but Jean Lafitte personally rejected the application and had him thrown overboard from The Pride.
George crawled to shore, and Lafitte’s men pointed at George and laughed.
When George got back to his ship, he pulled a handful of documents out from under his shirt.
He’d stolen the letters of marque from Lafitte.
Lafitte ordered his men to hunt down and kill George.
But the US Navy had them bottled in, and they ordered Lafitte’s surrender.
La Maison Rouge was set ablaze.
