George the recluse 1:31

Play Pause

11d ago1:31

1:31

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. Every time he killed someone, he’d have nightmares about it. And then he’d hesitate that much more before he killed another person. Pretty soon, George was a twitching, shivering mess. Surrounded by ghosts, he’d fall to the deck and clutch his head, moaning and clenching his teeth. The other pi…

Elaine Is Reading Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde > Chapter 8 - Part 2 32:58

21d ago32:58

32:58

The Last Night As far as I'm concerned, Chapter 8 is the absolute best chapter in the entire book. This is where the story pretty much comes to a very abrupt end and yet it's also where everything I love about the book finally comes front and center; Poole and Utterson.

George has talent 1:16

3d ago1:16

1:16

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. He didn’t have much of skills or talent. At the first annual Pirate Talent Show, he arranged flowers. Well, weeds. He didn’t have any flowers to arrange. And instead of a vase, he had a helmet. Pathetic, really. At the second one, he did bird calls. No birds showed up. “Why don’t you do somethi…

George gets his hair cut 1:06

4d ago1:06

1:06

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. You’re not supposed to clip your nails or cut your hair on a ship. It’s seen as an offering to the goddess Persephone. But Neptune is a jealous asshole, and hates it when you make offerings to other gods. So when George opened a manicure stand and barber shop below decks, the captain had George…

#468 Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue": A Jazz-Age Drama 1:06:27

5d ago1:06:27

1:06:27

On January 3, 1924, 25-year-old George Gershwin was shooting pool in a Manhattan billiard hall when his brother Ira Gershwin read aloud a shocking newspaper article: "George Gershwin is at work on a jazz concerto." There was just one problem—George had never agreed to write any such piece. What happened next would change American music forever. In …

George gets on the right foot 1:12

5d ago1:12

1:12

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. There’s a superstition about boarding boats with your right foot. Because the left foot is unlucky. The captain put a sign at the gangplank that said DO NOT STEP ON BOARD WITH YOUR LEFT FOOT. George, of course, kept boarding the boat with his left foot. “Oops,” said George. “Sorry. My bad.” And…

George and the wrens 1:13

6d ago1:13

1:13

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. So he made up for it with luck charms and superstitious rituals. They say that if you get a feather from a wren on New Year’s Day and wear it, you’ll be safe from shipwrecks for the whole year. If one feather was lucky, why not the whole bird? George stuck seventeen wrens in his hair and beard.…

George keeps his distance 1:12

7d ago1:12

1:12

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. And he didn’t get any better at it with the pandemic. The CDC told people not to rub their faces and eyes, which is you have a hook for a hand, already makes sense. But when the CDC ordered people to social distance, he would yell at his swashbuckling opponents to keep six feet away. “But my sw…

George and the Northwest Passage 1:13

8d ago1:13

1:13

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. His sextant wasn’t as much a navigation tool as it was a nutcracker. He’d sweep the shells off of the maps and charts and shout “Oh, let’s go that way!” One day, the ship was in the North Atlantic. The next day, he was in the North Pacific. “Did we just discover the Northwest Passage?” asked th…

George on horseback 1:19

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate. For some reason, he’d taken to going everywhere on horseback. Which was fine when the ship was in port. Although the owner of The Five Skulls Tavern didn’t take too kindly to the horse crapping all over his floor. It was when the ship was out to sea that things got difficult. Horses need a lot …

Are your coworkers misreading you? If you’ve ever been labeled “difficult,” “standoffish,” or “arrogant” when you’re actually anxious or nervous, you’re not alone.
