Edward Teach (1680 – 1718), better known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies.
Teach's cognomen, Blackbeard, was derived from his thick black beard and fearsome appearance; he was reported to have tied lit fuses under his hat to frighten his enemies.

Sweet! I really like how you incorporated some biographic reference to his appearance and picture information as well as the color choice. Good Luck with the contest!

The expression is courtesy of Wayne Rooney. I've never been very keen on the man, or his sport, but apparently he has his uses :)
