One point that seems to have slipped by without much fanfare: the caption on the original MySpace photo was apparently "Drunken Pirate", and the school where she was teaching had "The Pirates" as the school theme and mascot, as others have "The Bears" or "The Rams". A student at that school would think of him/herself as a Pirate, and calling ones self a "drunken pirate" sends a specific message.
