So what are your opinions about pirate documentaries? I think the best is blackbeard Real Pirate of the Caribbean or also known as blackbead terror at sea . While there is tiny tiny errors it is by far the best documentary of pirates made yet. Although makers were fallen in typical inaccuracies like: cavalry boots, sailor pigtails,Some weapons are from later time, popular version of Blackbeard’s pirate flag, too common earrings and I think that some of those big belts and harnesses are somewhat Hollywood-stylish. But it is the most accurate I have seen yet. Worst I think is HISTORY CHANNEL's True Caribbean Pirates. So many errors that you can never say how man…

I came across the card game munchkin a little while ago and tried out the pirate version Munchkin Booty. I found it a pretty good time to be had. I so far have gotten the two expansions to it to liven it up further. I was wondering if anyone else has played it and what they thought. I thought to bring it up here because its a pretty fun casual game and its got a pirate flavor. http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/cardgame/ A link to find the game for those that are interested.

Parents Ronnie Ford-Kennedy and Sara Steele put up the skull and crossbones in the back garden of their home in Tattershall, Lincolnshire, for Anthony, who has Asperger's Syndrome - a form of autism.But the couple have been given just 28 days to take down the flag - or face court action. East Lindsey District Council says the flag, erected on a fishing pole in the couple's back garden, needs advertising consent. They were told t…

I looked through the topics,(I thought we already had one) looking for a place to post interesting Steamy stuff that we've found. You know, stuff that doesn’t need a whole new topic for it, but you want to post it somewhere.....So now we have one.... ***************************************************************************** Well Steampunk Magazine issue #8 is out, and there is an interesting article about Airship Pyrates in it... http://www.steampunkmagazine.com/ (There are a few minor errors in the article that we would have fun with in TWILL, but he does get a lot of it right, so all in all, it is a pretty good article.)

Anyone else seen this? I don't often post.. ahem.. but thought I'd write a line or two.. I watched it the other day... and though some people seem to be having a poor opinion of it.. I thought it was great fun... I especially liked some of the work songs being sung on board ship. A very different rendition of Lowlands to what I have heard before. I thought the character of Trelawney was an interesting departure from normal. And couldn't help but wonder if it was a reflection of how bankers/ fund managers etc.. are being viewed since the economic downturns that have been affecting world economies? Anyway.. was great to hear Silvers voice done with a VERY London accent.…

Man dressed as Depp's Jack Sparrow pepper-sprayed LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police say several people dressed as movie characters on Hollywood Boulevard got into a brawl that ended with a man dressed as "Pirates of the Caribbean" character Capt. Jack Sparrow being pepper-sprayed. Officer Rosario Herrera says it's unclear why the Sparrow character, made famous in the movies by Johnny Depp, got into a fight with people dressed as Catwoman and an alien in front of the Kodak Theatre Thursday evening. Officers responded to a call that there was a disturbance on the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard known to host costumed characters who hustle tourists for a few bucks in exchange for …

I found this one on the 'bay and gave it a try. I'll give it a One Cutlass Up. On 'bay the cover art was too small to realize that it's our own Cascabel who also does some cameo appearances. I now realize why Cascabel is attempting to cut her throat on the cover art ... "This is a great town for shopping!" Jas. Hook

Got me a new little game for Christmas. I must admit that, after taking a couple of cruises, I've got me a liking for slot machines, and there's plenty of computer games to that effect. I got one for Xmas, called "Blackbeard's Revenge". Many of the slots on it are pirate oriented...how can you go wrong with "Blackbeard's Pirate Gameshow"? For those curious, here's a link... http://www.phantomefx.com/games/view/7 A downside to the game is that any doubloons ye win are only virtual doubloons, which will buy ye virtually...nothing. Scupper me hide!

I know that uncoated brass will tarnish in time but I purchased a few Steampunk findings and wanted to age them before attaching them to my hat and eye patch. I considered a black ink wash. Other ideas using house hold products?

YES! The rumors are true. The Pyrates Way will be going GREEN as of Jan. 1, offering an online, downloadable, e-book version of our magazine for FREE beginning with Issue #14. However, a full-printed paper version will be mailed to paid subscribers and all subscriptions will be fulfilled with the printed version. We will also offer one back issue in the Green version every month through 2012. The magazine will NEVER be late again! (at least the green version) This will be a huge boon to advertisers as every ad in the magazine will link directly to their website. Readers can look at the mag in one window and check out all your cool offerings in another. The power of co…
