Alcholicism
" He is a member of the Springfield Alcoholics Anonymous and has a literal "wooden leg" in which he keeps liquor.
Conflicts
In "Bart of War" he uses his wooden leg to have a vicious sword fight with Sideshow Mel's bone.
Imcompetence
As an entrepreneur, McCallister is equally incompetent. His restaurant, The Frying Dutchman, is a failing business venture that does not generate enough income to support its owner.
Actual Life
In the episode Lisa Gets an "A", the captain appears as a penniless bum. When seeing Homer and Marge walking Homer's pet lobster at the beach, he approaches them and claims that he runs a "small academy for lobsters." However, when Marge refuses to send the lobster away to "some snobby boarding school," McCallister asks her for spare change instead.
Other Appearances
He attacked a giant squid in Homer's Barbershop Quartet, looking for gold he believed was in its belly.
