"Pirate from Lego Universe Sets Sail for My Lego Network

Very soon, another personality from LEGO Universe will drop anchor on My LEGO Network. The newest Networker from the game is named Captain Jack Knife. The captain lives for the moment while leading his band of hearties (that’s pirate-speak for “friends�), the Black Seas Barracuda crew!

The Barracuda pirates once plundered the waters of LEGO Universe with pride and honor, but some time ago Captain Jack Knife’s blustery bravado got their ship stuck in a shady part of town! The captain displayed the courage of at least fifty men when the Barracuda crew was looting on the high seas, and he still swaggers even though nowadays he spends most of his time scheming to free his ship!

So far, it’s been a fiasco every time the pirates have taken a shot at getting their ship back out to sea. One big reason for the repeated failures is that Captain Jack Knife likes to keep his pirates happy with plenty of their favorite drink – root beer! What’s more, the captain’s crewmembers don’t pay him much mind if he calls them things like “lazy scalawag� while he’s lying in a hammock!

Music is one thing that will always rouse Captain Jack Knife from one of his frequent naps. The captain loves a tune, because he digs getting down and dancing—so much so that many of his close mates have learned to take cover when he starts shaking his booty!

Though he’s not the greatest dancer, Captain Jack Knife most definitely is good at counting treasure. The Barracuda pirates’ mountain of riches may not tower as high as it once did, but the captain still has a trove of lovely trinkets for trading!

Captain Jack Knife says, “Yar, me young hearties, ye can come an’ see me soon on My LEGO Network! Har har! Together we shall share root beer and talk o’ tradin’! Yar, ‘twill be a bigger blast than a bloomin’ boatload o’ cannons! Arrrr!!�"

So far, I can't get to Captain Jack Knife on MLN - but hopefully soon.
