Northwest Jack

I LOVE birthdays! Drinks all around!!!

Aye, to throw a wench down in the rain and have at her. With rum on hand, of course.

Bloody hell! Just got back from Nor Cal to find that my house I Seattle sold. Have to hang and take care of biz, alas. Buckle some serious swash without me. Drat! You are in good hands with Talderoy and Scarlett.

What a beauty! Excellent work, 1st Mate Matt.

I still don't get it. I loved the film Ember and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the Golden Compass books, but I STILL don't see what any of this has to do with pirates.

I would very much like to see photos of this debauchery for Pirates magazine. Is anyone up to it?

As in Max Shrek in "Nosferatu", meaning FEAR. Which has little to do with Christopher Walken, except that his name was Shrek in Batman (the Tim Burton version).

The Pirates magazine Press Gang will be there as well, including the tasty Scarlett Harlott and Talderoy the terrible. Okay, he's not so terrible...

I had just got my Pirata hat from Jeff MacKay of Captain Jack's Hats and was thrilled to be wearing something so cool.

Suggest you subscribe to Latitudes & Attitudes by Bob Bitchen. Great magazine about livin' the cruiser lifestyle.

Up in the Northwest where I live, everybody has a cedar deck out back and it gets filthy with a kind of green, brown, black mung that looks great when you scrub your clothes across it. Nothing works better that dirt! Best of all, if you don't like it, a little Biz laundry detergent eats all the organic crud away and you can start over.

A fyne idea, Hawk. Where does Stynky hail from? --Dave Nichols editor Pirates magazine

All those rums and no mention of our dear Gosling's Black Seal. eh Bilge?

Excellent advice, Cascabel. Many thanks.

I have a Dixie gun kit "Kentucky pistol" and will use it as a gauge for the approximate size of the ent hole. It is pretty small.
