Black syren invited me back....tis her fault 🧐

well then, make sure everyone Stops on By our Tavern on the Hill and INTRODUCE YOURSELF!!!.....would be lovely to meet many face to face once't in awhile!

Just let me know....you can come play with us...always need a Barber!

correct on the partystyle.....but we still set up like we do for the Put-in-Bay.....Guild of St Michael and another group also attend to lend some HISTORY and EDUCATION to the event.....then we ourselves join the Festivities

no camping allowed tho, it a straight up HOTEL event.

we ...... the Forsaken .....shall be in attendance again this year with our Tavern, Tyburns Last Drop....on top of the Hill

Mission, if you ever wanted to attend and set up round our Tavern, im sure we can help out with getting "NOTICEd" while still staying within more historical guidlines.....as you may recall...we have a tendency to get loud...HA!

right then.....anywhere's else to get a turn off? or anyone else making em???

From Wiki-pedia: Regarding 100 proof Origins.....( for what Wiki-is worth anyhow)

"In the 18th century and until 1 January 1980, the United Kingdom measured alcohol content in terms of "proof spirit", which was defined as the most dilute spirit that would sustain combustion of gunpowder.^[1] The term originated in the 18th century, when payments to British sailors included rations of rum. To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was "proved" by dousing gunpowder in it, then tested to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be "under proof". Gunpowder would not burn in rum that contained less than approximately 57.15% ABV. Therefore, rum that contained this percentage of alcohol was defined to have "100 degrees proof".

Does anyone know of anyone making/selling repro Turn-Off beutys??? besides the Perdersoli Queen Anne(not Turn offs)...???? Kits or otherwise??

Most of todays "extremely" active sports atheletes say that their body actually stops menstrurating ...or will go several monthes anyway....while in heavey training....and ships life would be just as ...ah....athletic...

thats an easy one to get away with for your character.

Congratulations and well done, mates! Can we get some pictures of the encampment/diorama? Did they let you camp there, y'know, t' get the smell right?

HA! ask Sterling!......i dont think Billie and I have EVER been accused of NOT smelling the Part!!!

and nope...twas a "HOTEL" event....no sleepin over in the encampents....this year anyway!

once we "fleshed" it out with about 10 bodies of Pyrates, seamen and local Tavern goers seeking trade negotiations.....as well as a few "bad pyrates" being set an EXAMPLE of......

The intresting part for us, and the most fullfilling.....was the fact that most of the Audience wernt your typical " I LOVE aLL Pirates" Fare....it was the DIE-HARD History Fanatics.....tough crowd....but some of the deepset Discussions with Audience we had gotten into in a very long time....not just WHAT happend and When.....but the WHY's behind most of it...and the direct Consequences to OUr United States Today as a direct result of that tremultuous time!!!

overall...i believe we opened quite a few eyes at the importance of "playin' pyrate"........hopefully this will open a few more doors down the road for us all

heres another view of the Gibbet (while looking into another groups diorama).....we had another of the PIN-Up Girls stuck in the Cage.....the Group behind us STILL say they had the best View! (AND have officially requested to be behind us agian..!?!?)

Tis another view....of the Tavern.....Tyburn's Last Drop.....we only had a 20x20 spot to work from.....complete with a working GIBBET that we gave "RIDES" to the wee ones....ok...and some of the Pin -Up Girls as well....ahem

this was one of the GI PIN UP GIRLS who ...ahem....volunteered to try out the Pillory.....and it wasnt our Birthday or nuthin...!?!?!

check out photo #5...tis our very own Tiger Billie!!!

Me WENCH has a Team for the ST JUDES CHILDREN RESEARCH HOSPITAL for an upcomming GIVE THANKS WALK this SAT Nov 19th!!!

She is a ST JUDE ALUMNI:

She was Diagnosed at age 14 with Acute Lymphomic Leukemia (A.L.L). Which had a survival rate of 0% The local doctors told her family to take her home and try and make her comfortable. They only gave her a week to live.

A family member heard a comercial on TV about ST JUDES CHILDRENS RESEARCH HOSPITAL down in MEMPHIS TENNESSEE. with their Motto: "THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE".

They called the Hospital that noght and flew her down to Memphis the next morning. Not only did she survive the the week. After 4 years of flying down to the Hospital every 2 weeks for 4 years, just before her 18th birthday.....she was declared CANCER FREE!!

It has been a little over 20 years later now.......That little girl who had only a week to live....She grew up....Married a PYRATE!!...and had 2 beutifull Kidds....who are growing up to be Pyrates too!!!! All because of a Childrens Hospital who never gives up. There i always Hope.

She is still active in participating with Long Term Studies on the effects of chemo and radiation.

Thanks to her and the Staff at St Judes......Acute Lymphomic Leukemia now has an 80% survival rate.

Not only was she cured of Cancer...but her Family was never charged a dime for the 4 years of treetment!!!!! They believe that the burden should never be on the FAMILY OF SICK KIDS!!!!

SO THIS IS WHY DONATIONS ARE SOOO IMPORTANT!!!!

HELP show how big of HEARTS the Pyrate Communites HAVE!!!

you can DONATE to her team "You Can Beat This 2". And help her Give Back Thanks!!! For giving that little 14 year old a second chance at a life she always dreamt of.

Clint "the M.A.d'Dogge" Beach

one of the Forsaken

heres a bit o' small thing to also consider......100% wool....wont hold a scent...besides that wool scent....let it air dry and a bit o sun and back to smelling like a lambs arse....dont quote me but i thought Linnen(100% natural had simmilar qualities? anyone know on this one?)......

soooo.....IF your wearring 100% and not a modern mixed fabric(which will hold the stink)....and unless you have the Tar stuck all over ya...how strong is the smell anyhow? or is it more the person hisself tha thas that odiferous aroma!??!

just for consideration....

and ps>
