This weekend, if the seas be right and the wind is good.

further etymology

[dasubergeek.livejournal.com]

Buccaneer = anglicisation of boucanier = noun form of boucane = old French and current Creole word for smoke = thing to put on meat.

This is intense confirmation that the barbeque chef is the modern form of pirate.

It also kinda explains why a lot of the guys who do professional BBQ cookoffs have ridiculous beards or moustaches, and wear lots of silly hats.

What it really means is all the pirates threw hella good barbecues on various beaches ... rum and gunpowder make excellent fire starters ;-)

Arrr.

But of course!

Actually, though, the gunpowder and all those annoying "wanted by order of the colonial governor" posters are the firestarters. The rum's in the marinade.
