Saint Kidd Saturday
… or Monday. Or in fact every given
day. Because wearing Saint Kidd isn't specifically bound to any day.
Though Saturday is the day we wear Saint Kidd. Or in my case
Friday (I know, it's all very confusing).
Last Friday I had my pre-Saint Kidd
Saturday-day... party. Wearing Saint Kidd makes you feel instantly
“cool and happening”. And as a bonus track: It makes you act like
a pirate! (that last bit could just be me... argh).
The captain in action |
The mother of Saint Kidd (a.k.a. The
Captain (a.k.a. Dougie Poynter from the all mighty McFly)), has based
this company upon the story of William Kidd. William Kidd was born in
the decade where pirates were more than alive. His mission was to
capture those little buggers and counteract the French (sacrebleu).
Unfortunately Kidd wasn't that
succesful and his debts kept groing. His crew pressured him and they
began to raid any non-English ship. Making them look
more like pirates than servants of the throne.
On
the 30th
of January 1698, Kidd and crew made their biggest catch when
overtaking the Quedah Merchant. An English ship. Although, both
pretended to be French and without realizing it, Kidd made a
massive-huge-oh my giddy giddy gosh- mistake.
He
felt like to confess and clear the air with the English. But, of
course, not before he buried the treasure.
Back
in England they weren't that fond of Kidd's action and they put him
at rest (DEATH PENALTY).
So,
the first question that comes to mind: Where is the
treasure now? Well our lucky captain had some luck left and found it!
No gold, though. Some tee shirts and stuff.
So join the dark side. We wear Saint
Kidd (and have cookies... an endless supply on cookies).
