- "Buy a Machine" auction

Theme Song
The Pirates of America theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
No ho, no ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we murder and kill,
Hands up me hearties, no ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't pay the bill,
Hands up me hearties, no ho.
No ho, no ho, a pirate's life for me.
