When your boss frowns on the eyepatch

There's now a discreet way to declare one's allegiance to the swashbuckling lifestyle without being obnoxiously preppy or hiding it in the parking lot. The "Crystal Pirate" is an 800-dpi USB mouse that combines "booty and bling," as Popgadget aptly describes it.

And it should come as no surprise that this $135 skulled peripheral comes from Pat Says Now, the Swiss specialty mouse house that's been responsible for novelties ranging from the Halloween ghost to the $24,000 "Diamond Flower." The only downside to the pirate model it has succumbed to the Swarovski empire.
