text: what was captain hook's name before the accident?   you are all wrong. it was captain james shaft.   the true story of captain james hook, the pirate supreme of never never land is a closely guarded secret. if the truth got out, children would be truly terrified.   long ago in the land of never never, tinkerbelle was married to the gorgeously divine fairy price jimmyshaft. you see, bell is her maiden name she was once known as tikershaft. any who, one day the young child peter arrived in never never land and tinkerbelle asked her husband if that could take him in. jimmyshaft, being the kind fairy he was agreed. but after a time, tinker started to fall in love with peter, as any mother figure would.  jimmyshaft got very jalousie because all of tinks time was spent looking after peter. she didn’t have time to play fairy games and use her magic to make jimmyshaft happy all the time. one day, jimmyshaft got so mad that he took a frying pan from the kitchen and hit pan in the head. tinkerbelle got so mad that she through jimmyshaft out of the house. this of course caused all sorts of rumors and destroyed the princes image. he was so ashamed that he exiled himself from the rest of the fairy folks and went to live with all the other bad fairs and imps.   one day many years later, jimmyshaft saw peter playing by the water. he pushed peter in the water. as he did, he started laughing and yelled out, look at the little pan head sink. much to jimmyshafts surprise, peter knew how to swim. peter got out of the water and tried swat jimmyshaft, but he was just too quick and too small. peter called out, if you were just a little bigger, i'd beat you silly.   for a long time this continued. jimmyshaft would play a prank on peter calling him pan head and peter, now known as peter panhead, would yell out, "if you where just a little bigger."    eventually, after a long time passed, jimmyshaft was tired of the game.  the final straw was when his now ex-wife tinkerbelle taught peter how to fly. he knew the only way he would ever get rid of the pesky peter panhead now was to drown him in the sea, but jimmyshaft was just too small to do the job. so jimmyshaft used the last of his fairy magic and turned himself and all of the fallen fairies and imps into pirates. there one solitary mission was to destroy the poor pater panhead.   the rest of the story you know. the pirates agreed that jimmyshaft should be the captain but captain jimmyshaft just didn’t sound frightening so he changes his name to captain james shaft. but on the very first crusade to get peter, peter got the best of the old pirate captain and the crock got his hand. this earned peter the respect of the other inhabitants of never land and they stopped calling him pan head and simply called him pan...this later became a time like khan or lord. (see the move hook as reference.) and the now one handed pirate captain james shaft was forever known as james hook.  well, what do you think!  it doesn’t matter, because that's my story and i'm stick'n to it.
