If you don’t have a belt to hang your traditional cutlass, pistol, and spyglass, they don’t let you graduate from Pirate Captain School. And you know how hard it is to get a job as a Pirate Captain these days without a degree.
Shit, it’s almost like you need to finish Pirate Admiral school before they’ll even let you captain a boat!

I know, right? I mean, look at SB, he’s got his Captain’s degree, and he’s still just crew on Dax’s ship. He’s never going to get those student loans paid off that way.

Loans? Pfft. You can’t get into any pirate school unless you can steal enough to afford it 😀

That’s one of those Catch-22s: If you can steal enough to afford the school without getting caught, you probably didn’t really need to go.

Actually, that’s probably true for regular school as well.

You forgot about becoming a pirate by joining the pirate crew that is plundering the ship your traveling on. That way you can forego any pirate schools, ditch your old identity, and work your way up to captain. All this requires is a good work ethic, charisma, a few discrete murders and access to the liquor locker.
but does he put his pants on one pseudopod at a time like everyone else?
Slimebeard wears no pants.
This probably answers a second question as well that nobody was asking. 😮
Why SB wears a belt?
I am guessing Cpt. Slimebeard wears the belt mostly for cosmetic effect, plus it’s a good place to hang your weapons.
Well, these do seem like really good points…

Yeah, but then there’s the threat of being killed by the captain every evening…
