Asian Lafitte

Ay-zhahn Lah-feet

Yes. If I was to be a pirate, we once discussed in the lab, my pirate name would be Asian Lafitte...as opposed to Jean Lafitte.

Well, the cool thing about being from Galveston is that it was once the home to pirates. Mainly, Jean Lafitte. Some stories are around that he still has treasure around. All I know is, this is what's left of his house before the US Navy forced him away after a fucked up situation when oneof his lesser captains disobeyed an order fired on an American ship against Jean's orders.

The fucker. Oh well, Jean Lafitte had Captain Brown, and I think some of Brown's men, hung as a warning to those who would disobey him, but that was not enough. So, Jean Lafitte burned his house to the ground and set sail for legend.
