  1. HEHEHE no kidding! I sometimes have a very hard time NOT smelling like a pirate. Lets face it, no one wants to come up to shake your hand and put a fiver in the hat after a show....and smell THAT! I can't HELP but have my gear naturally fade and get ruined. When I was crew on the Royaliste that would give your gear a good beating too! Nothing like salt water and sun to wreck a perfectly good wig of dreads!
  2. Ahoy mates! Tis' I, Capt'n Jack Spareribs. Formerly aboard this here Pub as Ace of Harbor Bay. Since then, I have become a pyrate full-time. Many have seen me performing at the various festivals in California but now I have been meeting folks from around the world, as I perform regularly as a street performer on stage at Pier 39 in the port o' San Francisco. So I may be new...but I am not ...just smell! Hello again to all my old mates and I hope to meet some new ones! -Ace AKA: Jack Spareribs www.pirate4hire.com
  3. Funny. I kinda get yer drift. I have had to "age" my gear in the past and when having to replace it. But...that is the cool part. I have worn my gear so much on a daily basis and yeah doing everything from sailing to loading and firing cannons, to mostly my shows where juggling fire does basically the same as firing cannons to it. :) Yep, I do look somewhat like the Hollyweird Sparrow guy... but I do at least SMELL like a real pirate. I am on my second pair of boots (yeah, yeah I know...no buckly shoes here) but I have had to replace the soles of my second pair already and am in need of a new pair again. This comes from being a street performer mostly but you arrrr certainly correct. It does not take that much to age properly. The sun is a very harsh beast and fade things so wonderfully, I had had waistcoats fall apart from the salt water and sun combo after a year. I have been through about 9 shirts in 5 years. But...I assume most do not want to smell as bad as I do and may not have the time to devote to livin' the ride...err life. -Ace
  4. Oh yeah!! Almost forgot! I am so excited! For Father's Day my wife and daughter finally got the sword I had put on layaway at Ojai! It was made by Tony Swatton and screen used in Pirates 3!!! Lovely balance and very light which I need for my bad wrist. Now to get the rest of the crew aluminum blades so we can go at it. It may not be a Sparrow lookin' sword but it has just become the cutlass Spareribs carries!!
  5. I really remember VERY little of last year. While working on the final welds on my ship, I had an accident and nearly put my eye out. This was the day of the festival build and I ended up spending (and performing) the whole weekend with a pretty bad concussion. The show must go one ...eh? So no...the swagger was not acting OR rum induced. hehehe I am good and prepared this year and plan to show all the scallywags why I got voted Best in the Bay for family fun!!! The pirates helped vote for me...they deserve to experience it! Let the monkeys FLY! I'm thinking of naming me ship The Flying Monkey (just like the Flying Dutchman...only with monkeys)
  6. Oy! Spareribs! Glad t' see ye here! By all means float around and enjoy th' Pub. Don't forget t' intro yo'rself. ;)

  7. Aye! I'll bring Maynard the Monkey over to meet the little PyRats! Come on by my ship and have some fun with the Flyin' Monkey Cannon! I will of course also be performing several times on the main stage. A couple of my new show (not the Pier 39 show) and a couple of cameos with the Pirate Lords act. This year old Jack Spareribs and the Pirates of Harbor Bay are playin' host to the Pirates of Sacramento in our encampment. Come by and say arrr and make some new friends! -Ace AKA: Capt'n Spareribs
