Thar Be Pirates on Charlie's Lake


Amidst the cannon fire and black powder, a fierce fight erupted on the seawall of Charlie's lake. Once again Randy Roach and his militia took to battle to save their fair city from the likes of Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates. The new palm trees were no disguise for Lafitte. He knows these grounds well. After much banter, Roach once again relinquished his city to these pirates, but only after having to jump in the lake for the tenth time. You would think Lafitte and his men would be satisfied with Roach's jump. Not a chance! These rowdy pirates wanted more than the city. They wanted the parish as well. So they captured Hal McMillan as well and of course made Hal walk the plank also.


So it begins! Another two weeks ashore Charlie's lake. Two weeks of merriment for the fair citizens of this city and this band of pirates. They will take to the streets to share their treasures from the far reaches, sing a lusty song or two, and enjoy the comforts of home. With raise of the Jolly Roger flag, the city belongs to the pirates.
