I beg the forgiveness of the group for this intrusion. If anybody is offended by free offers of swag, please don't read the rest of this message. I have been authorized by Dave Grossman, the author of The Two-Space War, to generate some cross-genre interest in his book. We want to mail a signed (first printing, first edition, hardback) copy of the book to a member of this board who might be interested. The idea is for you to then post a review for the board, if you find it readable. If you don't, you can always post a "yecch, don't read that trash" message here. No strings attached. No obligation. Just let me know if you are interested. You can find out more about t…

I just heard this one from a Baird at the Estrella War. Loved it...have been searching the internet for it...haven't found it. Any pyriates out there know where it can be found as you have already been there? It went something like this. A good man is hard to find. A hard man is good to find. You can kiss me if you are so inclined, but I'm sailing away in the morning.

Who was executed at Execution Dock on Wednesday, the 25th of November, 1696, being of Every’s crew; together with their Free Confession of their most Horrid Crimes. Well may the world against us cry; for these our deeds most base, For which alas! We now must die, death looks us in the face, Which is no more than what’s our due, since we so wicked were, As here shall be declar’d to you. Let pirates then take care. We with our comrades, not yet ta’en, together did agree, And stole a ship out of the Groyne, to roam upon the sea; With which we robb’d and plundered too, no ship that we did spare. Thus many a one we did undo. Let pirates then take care. Our ship being …

While we were driving the old land yacht home North last summer from Cali, me and the Powder Monkeys were singing shanties to pass the time. We came up with some Piratical verses to the tune of “Cape Cod Girls”, Sort of a Pyrate news wire take on the oldie, if ye will. Any one else game enough to add another, or two? Old Ed Teach has lost his head Heave away, heave away He’s run aground and now he's dead (repeat chorus) Heave away, heave away Heave away, me bully, bully boys Heave away, heave away Heave A-w-a-y Why, doncha’ make a noise-- We’re bound for PORT-LAND-IA Sweet Anne Bonny has slipped the noose Heave away, heave away She had the bairn, and now sh…

Dance with the Wind I like to dance with the wind. It fills my sails and opens my heart. My skirt flutters, veils soar and take me on their magic journey. We tremble like windripples in the chill of twilight not lingering too long in the break between worlds between twilight and dark. The sand snaps tiny biting specks against my ankles like bracelets, they patter me as if I am spinning and then realize: I am spinning. I know where your gate is latched I know where your sloop is anchored I see the string on your kite, lo…
