So, I mentioned at PiP to a few people that I have managed a superhero costume here or there, and I promised to post pics. So, here they are... The Dark Phoenix (Original costume) The Black Widow (Ultimate Universe version) Dawn There are many other comic book girls I want to recreate - Scarlet Witch, Marvel Girl, the green and gold phoenix costume, Batgirl, and I am even thinking about the Tim Burton version of Catwoman. Lets not get into why I have a whole bunch of stretchable latex in my posession.... So, what non-piratey costumes have you done over the years?

New Zorro Flick? okay... not exactly a pirate... But the guy dresses in black, carries a sword AND a whip, and always gets the girl in the end. So... was I halucinating, or did I catch a bit of a trailer out of the corner of my eye the other nite while deeply involved in homework? Anyone know whassup with Zorro??

Ok, first off (and I expect I'll wind up repeating this) I'm not talking about your fantasy about 69 virgins and 3 slim llamas. Please save that nonsensical guff for The Way to a Pyrate's Heart forum. I'm asking what you do when you've a skinfull of the stuff. Are you playful? Belligerent? Coy? Dippy? Obnoxious? Dancing on the tables? I was dining with friends this eve and watching a couple sink slowly into intoxication. At the start of the dinner, She had a scarf on and her arms literally in front of her and He looked distracted and worried about something. By the end of the dinner, Her hair was down, the scarf off and the elbows were splayed on the table while He gaz…

Sometimes we have bad days, weeks, or longer. Mayhaps we celebrate or suffer things alone. I call many here friend, and would like to think I can offer them some solace or support. So, I humbly offer this thread as a place to post dedications to those who may need it. Despite the bravado, posturing and brave faces shown here, life can be taxing. I dedicate this first post to everyone here... "Life is Beautiful" by Vega4

My brain never seems to relax. This morning I woke up after a busy night of dreaming and the last one left my heart beating and I kind of feel anguish. In the dream, I couldn't believe what was happening and I want to resolve it still, even though I know it was a dream. Does anyone out there dream?

We should start something really fun and bizarre called the Phone-a-Pirate Program, where we randomly pass out our phone numbers to pirates that we have always wanted to talk to and call them. Here are the rules. Give out your phone number. Get or make a call to a pirate you have never spoken with. Carry on a conversation no less than one minute and no more than three. Tell us all about it. Yes, as I told Dorian earlier this evening in chat, I have eaten the lion's share of cheap, oreo cookie knockoffs and I haven't had enough sleep. I shouldn't even be allowed on here in this condition.

I did a look back and didn't see a topic on this, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Things are kinda' slow here... What are your favorite movies? I think you can tell a lot about a person by the movies they like. I'm going to suggest you stretch beyond the movie POTC, since many people have a bias there ("Yes, we know that one. Anything else?"). Here are a whole slew of mine: Animal House (IMHO, Tim Matheson is second only to John Goodman as far as being underrated as an actor.) Back to the Future ("Ah... Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?!) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ("...") Casablanca Cool Runnings Goldfinger The Good, The Bad…

The rules: You post three statements (or longer anecdotes; that can be more fun sometimes) about yourself, two of which are true. People guess which. After folks have been guessing for a while, you reveal it and we see who was right and who was wrong. Then somebody else does one. (And there's no reason not to have several going at once...) Okay, my three... I was in an apple commercial. I buried a body in Mexico. I was in a street riot in Jerusalem.

I hope this is where I should put this thread as it seems the most suitable for my request. Would the mods be so kind as to consider the possibility to add a Pirate Banter and Insult forum. Not a place to just be a jerk but a place to better ones skills at the art of bantering. Nothing is worse then being face to face with a pirate and have no other abilities then to stare blankly as they cut you by a razor sharp tongue and wit. I find it just as essential as learning sword play and small arms in today's pirate world. This forum would be the place for all to vent on the willing instead of blind siding the innocent. Also would serve as a good ranting forum for any a…

Ok, we laugh out loud sometimes to the puns we see posted on people's chests. Here's a place for us to share these amusing quips... My younger sister is very shapely and when we were young I remember she wore a button that said "Quit staring at my chest" Faire Pins I love: (I'll share mine if you share yours) "What color are my eyes?"

Have you seen one too many "Sparrow" at the local Ren Fest? How about the "Hot Topic" pirate wench with the spiked heel boots? Or the cheap dollar store pirate with the plastic hat and boot covers? Dread the pirate who bought the shirt, hat, and cutlass to match his jeans and white high tops? Now we all love pirates of all types but let's face it... some times you just want to give these blokes a few pointers.

So I was thinking about this and there are a lot of people who smoke "weed" and a lot of people who dont think it's bad and vice-vursa. I just thought this would make for a good debate.

Nice. I can't beat that. I saw $3.19 at the station I paid $3.39 two days ago. But I found another station at $3.13 I think it was. Of course, across the street here it was $3.56 this morning... these guys are notoriously high.

I remember as a 6 year old, I went to a school field trip to the Smithsonian institution in DC, Which I believe was the National Archives musem (or whichever the building that had this plumb-bob pendulum swinging acroos the floor knocking of some pegs lined upin a circle). Anyway, what I remember most, and what scared the living daylights out of me was a white bust on a roman column, with an Uncle Sam top hat. All of us students gathered round, then the face of the bust suddenly lit up, which was actually a front 16mm film projector illuminating a movie onto the bust, and it talked. Sooooo. ....naturally I am putting together something of a similar concept for the …

I know some of ya are groaning and wondering why again... I'm sure many of us as bitched about how high they are. Why does this have anything to do with piracy? Well... how else will we all get to our events? Hmm? Need gas for that vehicle of yours! A few of ya have gone off to events already this weekend. Grand! Bavo.. Lucky you! I am now having a HARD enough time attempting to keep gas in my vehicle. It's $2.59 here in Cedar Rapids Iowa... REALLY high for us. I heard it's $2.80 around Chicago.. and nearly $3 out on the east coast. Honestly...I don't know about the rest of you.. but I CANNOT continue to pay this much in gas! I've already paid 2 extra years worth …

I promised BlackJohn I was going to post this. Let me apologize in advance... So, I've been studying Chaos Theory lately and it got me to thinking about the workings of the human brain. Nobody is really sure how our minds work, they are sort of a black box, even to the experts. At first, I thought perhaps our minds behaved in a manner that defied mathematics. Then I realized that this takes us away from the realm of science and into the realm of mysticism. However, trusting in mysticism as an answer is a sure sign of ignorance (IMHO - feel free to take offense and write long diatribes defending mysticism. Perhaps that is what this topic is for.) So we come back to mat…

For instance: If we're having a pub party, what do you bring? I start with "A", and the next pirate begins with an item starting with "B". When all 26 letters are up, you add numbers then, i.e. 3 "c"s, 3 "d"s, etc. Easy enough? I'm bringing "A"lcohol.

Welcome to The Whine Cellar. Here you can indulge in self-pity to your heart's desire. Just a few rules: 1.Whining only - no insults, name-calling or nit-picking. 2. Not sure if you are truly whining? If your complaint begins with "oh, poor me" - you are whining. Remember, you are the victim here. 3. Please keep your whines to a reasonable length - we all have a lot of whining to do. If you feel a long tirade coming on, you will need to take it outside. 4. If you are having a wonderful day, stay out. OK, time to taste some fine whines, people. Get out your glasses...
