Where on earth did you find THAT? I MUST have one!

I've become a big fan, lately, trying out the different rums on bilgemonkey's site. Can anyone tell me the difference, if there is any, between the Pyrat XO and Pyrat Pistol?

I'm right there with you. I've been hoping they'd make this into a movie since I read it. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Geoffrey Rush's directorial debut. Cool. Say, Iron Bess, does that grain of salt come with a margarita?

Even if it is based on a faked picture, it's a nice costume, and Sithcamaro did a great job replicating it. I bet he could sell it for a pretty penny if he had a mind to.

Really lovely, what I heard of it! Congratulations

I just got our flintlock water pistols. They're awesome, and NICE range for a water pistol. Since I can't have a replica of Barbossa's gun, this is close enough, and I don't feel the least bit guilty giving it to the little pirate to play with

Ah, sorry, my mistake My little pirate has been on and on about Jack's Dad today

I believe Dad had a ship of his own, he is a Captain, after all.

Absolutely!

I doubt that will be the case any longer.... I don't need a lot of room, just a few minutes where I'm not being jostled, pushed, or run over by a stroller (or those danged skate shoe things) I noticed more of those little hidden hideaways when I was in WDW last year, than I remembered from DCA, but I'm hoping to make the comparison this September

From the Netflix site, go to Contact Us, then down to Title Request. They already have The Great Ships: Pirate Ships available not only on DVD, but also for 'immediate viewing', and several of the Modern Marvels, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Wow, Mr. Hand, the trousers are wonderful! Did you use a pattern, and if so, which one? I bought an Alter Years pattern, planning on sewing this weekend, but having never made pants before, I was completely confused by the pattern.

Cradle of the Deep by Joan Lowell ... another one of my out-of-print finds on ebay. I read this when I was in high school and loved it then. It's Ms. Lowell's true story of growing up on a whaler with just her father. It was originally published in 1929.

I was hugely disappointed to find out we don't GET History International, only the History Channel. I even had Tivo set up to record it, only to find 3 hours of black screen. Ah well, I guess I'll have to petition Netflix to offer the DVDs.
