Little known pirate facts:
In 1889, three Pirates stole the Portland Police Chief's horse and went joyriding. It was returned three days later with Powered by BioDeisel painted on the side.
For three months in 1905, Pirates actually ran the city council while the elected people went on a drunken bender in Salem. Few events happened during this time, but the City of Portland did declare war on Gresham. To this day, the declaration is theoretically in force because no city council member has been able to find it in order to vote it out (the original documents are in the secret Pirate vault).
Pirates laid the first MAX line tracks in the 1930s, way ahead of their time, but they only went from one treasure cave to another, and fares were only payable in Gold Dubloons. There was still a Fareless Square, but it referenced monkeys only.
The real reason the Star Wars episodes hit the theaters out of order was because Pirates had made off with the original scripts. Attempting to ransom them, Pirates negotiated with George Lucas for years, before Lucas gave up and threw together some crap for Episodes I-III.
There has been more than one band of Pirates in the waters off Portland. Smaller groups were established in 1889, 1896, 1909 and 1985, but were all swiftlyconquered and given wedgies.
Washington Park is not named after George Washington, as you might believe, but Samuel P. Red Testicle Hair Washington, a first mate of the Pirate crew in the early 1920s.
