Recently, my friends and I were walking out of Granite City when all of a sudden we saw a bird.....and a pirate. It's not every day a pirate with his trusty bird arrives onshore in Sioux Falls.
We first thought we were seeing things, and then we realized the bird was real! Naturally, I was curious, and I had to find out who this pirate was and what he was doing in Sioux Falls.
Well, I found my answers. Meet Mort Aod (otherwise known as The Dashing Pirate).
