Ok, fellow Pyrates! I have read plenty (and heard tons) of good pick up lines, so how about some good come backs. I'll get the ball rolling wiht this recent one I heard at Cutthroats of Corona... My girlfriend was being courted by a fairly inebriated young man for the better part of the day. After the 5th or 6th time he told her she was breaking his heart, she turned to hip, touched his chest with her fingertip, and with big blue eyes batting said, "Put a bandaid on it, sweety, you'll heal!"

This has been making the news all over, it's so awesome! Susan Boyle is a contestant on the show Britains Got Talent, it's the British version of America's Got Talent. Everyone already judged Susan before she started to sing on looks alone. Then she sang and surprised everyone with her beautiful voice. I love it so much, it's amazing, you go girl! Here's the you tube clip of Susan singing "I dreamed a dream" from the musical Les Miserables. It's such a great and fun to sing, I myself have sung it in music class. Enjoy the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

A great number of us cook, from what I've observed over the past year or so. I've found that when I'm cooking, I'd much rather turn off the Idiot Box (TV) and listen to music. Here's what I like, according to the style of cooking I'm doing: Everyday - Jazz Large Meals - Corresponding holiday music, or uptempo Jazz Irish or other northern European - Celtic or celtic-flavored Cajun or Creole - Zydeco or New Orleans party music So, what in your CD tray while you create in the kitchen?

Was foolin' around last evenin' with me old vinyl records, enjoyin' the music and the artwork on the covers. Ye know, there's been some fantastic images over the years, and that tradition continues on even with today's cds. One of me all-time favourites is the cover to Heart's 1977 Little Queen. Remember it? Tis the one where the Wilson sisters and their band are dressed like gypsies on both the front and back covers. Arr, a real gem in my opinion. So, I'm not talkin' bout the music here, jes the cover art. What be one of yer favs?

http://www.keysnet.com/2015/06/30/503330_cops-responding-to-shots-fired.html?rh=1 Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies responding to “shots fired” reports on the old Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon Monday night found a man in full pirate costume packing operational black-powder pistols in holsters on each hip. Jamie Spiering, 58, was also allegedly armed with a sword and two knives. Spiering, who said he is an entertainer, told deputies he was on the bridge with friends for sunset. He said there were no projectiles in the pistols, and that he had fired them toward the water. But witnesses told a different story, said Deputy Becky Herrin, the Sheriff’s Office spokeswom…

I listen to an internet radio station.... http://www.live365.com/stations/captainbillybones it plays Pyrate music..... cool but from what I understand.....someone wants to make them pay a lot of money to keep broadcasting..... but a lot more than a radio station or any broadcaster has to pay.....

Since Halloween is this month it got me thinking: How many costumes do you all have, other than just pirate garb? Here's my list: 1) Supergirl 2) Alice in Wonderland-G-rated Disney version 3) Alice in Wonderland-Sexy version 4) Renaissance/Pirate Garb-Bodice, a variety of blouses, skirts, chemises and a pirate feathered hat and boots. 4) Vampire bride/victim-Long flowing nightgowns, cloaks/capes, robes, vampire fangs 5) Catwoman....kind of, but it really belongs to my guyfriend Wally. I gave my measurements for the costume tho, but it stays at Wally's house 6) French Maid 7) Sexy Devil 8)Elvira, but it's also been used for Morticia from Addam's Family…

Well, my dear sweet much-better half is diving into the world of Cowboy Mounted Action Shooting. Gonna make these horses earn their oats as it were. Been getting rid of stuff right and left to help me get her going. Found one .45 Colt repro so far that I was able to trade for, got my old mentor looking for another (gotta have two for the competition). I won't be doing pyrate anymore, but I still like the research and sharing information, and as long as it is necessary for me to be hooked-up to the net, I'll be in and out when I can, between lesson planning, homework for the University, lesson planning, lesson planning, and more lesson planning. When I find something w…

For those that remember, we rescued a couple of animals over the course of the past three/four years. One was a "wild horse that nobody could do anything with.": His first few days at our house: Today: This is Choco going on six now.

(Jan. 2) - Matt Pottinger was a reporter, but he's no longer so sure that the pen is mightier than the sword. The 32-year-old former Wall Street Journal reporter has joined the U.S. Marines. "The life of a reporter versus the life of someone in the military -- it is a radical departure," he mused. Combination of Factors In seven years covering China for The Wall Street Journal, Pottinger got a sense of how American liberties are a rarity in the world -- especially when he got arrested for writing about corruption. "I was standing over a toilet," he recalled, "with a bunch of Chinese policemen standing around me shredding my notebook, page by page, and flushing it dow…

I just saw these certifcates for crossing the line(equator) for the U.S. Navy that is in our maritime collection. They're from the 1920s. Very colorfulsigned by Davy Jones himself and signed by his scribe (Davy Jones) Neptune Rex King of the Raging Main. I'm going to try and get a copy and/or post an image. It may be awhile since it isn't cataloged yet.

I've been thinking (a bit...I know) and I was wondering if we as pirate reenactors could kind of take up the cause of supporting the ethical excavation of underwater archaeological sites rather than support the treasure salvors (more business oriented than concerned with "the public trust") who tend to stake out the "valuable" wrecks for profit, bring up artifacts and don't put NEARLY the time and effort into interpreting what they have that archaeologists do. This rich history belongs to ALL of us- every culture that was (and is) part of the Atlantic Basin (and further afield) is valuable, and well, I'd just like to see the awesome folks that are on here help support th…

Yep, so there I was, casually strolling through the gaming aisle, when the 4th edition D&D books caught my eye. Having no intention of buying said books (I own at least three other prior editions), I assumed I was safe in picking one up and flipping through it. Here we are, three weeks later, and I've dropped at least $100 on new stuff! My group has played once. In between, I've played a bunch of solo encounters to familiarize myself with the rules. And... I think this is my favorite edition!!! :angry: Anyone else out there caught the 4e bug?

Libra Daily extended (by Astrology.com) If you spend the morning putting out forest fires, rest assured that you will spend the afternoon basking in a warm, healthy glow. You've worked hard, and now you're starting to see the promise of a new beginning. That's how Mother Nature works sometimes, you know: There's a big forest fire to clear the way for a new generation of saplings.
