die echten piraten

I'm a bit late but what hey: I found my old pirates icon! Die Wilde Dreizehn!! Hohoho, und eine Buddel Rum. Remember, those of you who've been with me for some years, how we once speculated upon Wilde 13 pairings? Xaviero/Ludovico and so forth?? Ah, those were the real pirating days... And it turns out people actually had Wilde 13 favourites? So some liked 'the one with the star' and others preferred Xaviero over Ludovico? And I can't for the life of me now remember any of the others' names, argh, although I do recall that somebody posted a list of all of them (and I have the book upstairs but somehow find myself unable to lift the posterior off the padded seat) and apparently, it's ungooglable.

Tur Tur/Herr Aermel was also among the pairings proposed, I dimly remember...!!

But those pirates: *rawr*.

ETA for non-Germanophones: Pirates taken from the childrens' book 'Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13' by Michael Ende. This is a mega-famous book in Germany and the author also happens to have been my father's best friend (sadly, the author is dead now). I love those pirates! They are the best!
