Nah. Can't be that.

Lots of female pirates.

List of women Pirates This one includes Artemisia of Halicarnassus, one of the best captains in the Persian fleet and one of the few Persian survivors of the Battle of Salamis. She later became a queen and helped build of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Cool! I didn't know there were women pirates.

Don't know what I think about Viking pirates. Vikings were...well, Vikings.

Alright. Not often that you see a Les Toil image on bike forums. That's nice to see.



But then again, I've always had an eye for a well-rounded woman.

Put a bicycle there instead of a treasure chest, and we'd have it down.

Absolutely, a GREAT movie! It just needs bikes.

OK, I'll toss it out...

A 50+ collective screenwriting effort: "Bike Pirates!!!"

Sort of like "Pirates Of Penzance," but with a roving band of ne'erdowells cyclists riding up and down the highway, taking what they please, when they please!

And, they break into song at the slightest provocation. (Your cue, Denver...)

Some costuming ideas...

I thought you were referencing some French art trend (Les Toil) until I looked it up!!! I never noticed the signature at the bottom left of the piece.

I like* the rambouillet head badge, except that it reminds me of Grant Peterson's somewhat unsettling admiration for sheep.

"Bike Pirates" is already taken. https://www.bikepirates.com/

I like the location of it... Bike Pirates "gladly accepts donations" and is "across from the Beer Store."

Yah, I know. It makes you kind of cringe, doesn't it. And how long is that sheep's tongue, anyway? What's with that?
