blackjohn Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Who got fun pirate stuff? I didn't. I didn't ask for any this year. I did get some cool dvds - Forbidden Planet and Life of Brian top that list - and GURPS Magic (a roleplaying game book). Probably the best things I gave were the movie Serenity and the soundtrack to the tv show Firefly. Gave those to my wife. She really enjoyed them. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 When I was a kid I gave my father a tusken raider figure. He didn't really enjoy that. I got an iPod, an FM transmitter for it and a Darth Vader head toilet brush thing that I don't quite know what to do with. (My sister made it using a cookie jar.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I got lots o' swag... but I am only going to list the pirate-related items here... DVD: "Captain Blood" starring Errol Flynn (watched it this morning before anyone else woke up. What an EXCELLENT movie! Now if I can somehow convince my kids into watching a 70-year-old film...) Pirate rapier (Thanks Dad!) The very piratey "Puffy Shirt" (from Seinfeld... see separate topic thread) -- I don't have it yet, as International Male is out of stock... I got a home-made printed coupon from my son, and am awaiting delivery. Also got a digital camera and photo printer and 7 Marx Brothers movies on DVD and a Warhammer 40K starter set and some more DVDs and books... but none of that is pyratical, so I won't bore you.

Bonnie Red Weasel Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Christmas gift? For me? Okay, now that I've stopped laughing... To be fair, my husband got me a pretty huge combination birthday and Christmas gift - a new computer. Oh yeah, and my mother, who doesn't care much for my appearance, especially my hair, got me a book on beauty and a bunch of hairbands. So the only thing I actually got to unwrap for Christmas was basically a snide gag gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Oh yeah, and my mother, who doesn't care much for my appearance, especially my hair, got me a book on beauty and a bunch of hairbands.

I bought a "girls" book on how to take care of yer hair...(well they don't write books for hair care for boys now do they...) but I wanted to know what to do for long hair.... for Christmass, I got a bundle of soap.....

Oh, and a got this cool Stikfas skeleton pirate thing from one virtual pal and a skull full of pirate treasure from another.

madPete Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I guess Mission wants to see everyone else's gifts. Sorry no medical instruments, I try to stay away from those! It was all I could do to stop myself from buying the book in the airport on the way to PIP. Glad I waited... Not really pirate... but I can pirate music for it! madPete Aye... Plunder Awaits!

Mission Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Can you just imagine what the inside of my head must look like with all those random movie quotes, C&H comic refs, Mad Magazine recollections, Bugs Bunny cartoon quotes and memories of all those old threads, long since dead? I can actually still recall several favorite threads from TheForce.net which I left back in 2000 when that Menace-ing movie came out and spoiled everything... Every once in a while, an idea occurs to me and I start drawing all those loose ideas together and you wind up having to read this stuff again. If only this power could be used for good... PS. This is what the inside of my head looks like: (Complete with the creepy Ark theme. I can hear it now.)

Rumba Rue Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 From Boats I got a Canon PowerShot camera - one of the last kind that has the view finder. (I Understand, no more view finders in small cameras) It's a 12.1/4x with image stabalizer. Small enough to fit into a pouch at events. Also some Avon bubble bath. From family: Bath and Body Winter candy apple hand soap, cookies, a Celtic Cross with a book about it, and a gift card to Home Goods. BTW- If you've never been in a Home Goods store, they are fantastic! The prices are so low and it's all affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ye use t' frequent TheForce.net, too, Mission? Tis a small world! Gor-blimey! :) Well.... Th' only thing close t' piratey that I got was a crystal Polish decanter from my neice (cheap little thing but nice). Otherwise what I got was a stlyish cheap pen set, a RotF Megatron (the pre-school level - no comment- from a secret santa on another forum), a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart and the promise of a perm at any in-town stylist. I guess it's OK... but not really what I was hoping for. Oh, well. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Mission Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I was the first (and only at the time) moderator at the Force.net (Everyone else on the team was an admin. I was made a mod since I was one of the few regulars who hung around in a particular forum which they gave me responsibility for). I was there from about '97 - 2000.

Blackbead Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well now, let me see . . . my extended family is finally understanding that I am desirous of all things piratical so while my beloved bought me a turntable which will allow me to convert my old vinyl into a digital format the rest of the family and friends got me a skull and crossed bones throw which will look great hanging in the booth, some pirate coasters, some pirate napkins, and my in-laws, God love 'em, tried to go out and buy me a sword and I wound up with a rather neat looking wakizashi with a dragon headed pommel which is leading me into the creation of a new costume - 黒いビード: A renegade Korean fisherman who has taken to piracy against the Japanese. The Japanese give him his pirate name because of . . . well, I'm still thinking about that, but it's a start!

Ransom Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Chain Shot and I are lucky, in that his sister lives about ten minutes from Disneyland, buys a yearly pass every year, and shops at the private store for Disney employees, Company D, where they sell stuff not available to the public, at special reduced prices (she used to work there, as well as two of her sons). She sent us a whole box full of kewl PotC stuff. Chain Shot got an amazing shirt with very impressive embroidery on both the front and back. I got two T-shirts, and a set of bobble writing pens with Disney characters dressed as pirates along with a skull and a pirate ship. Also, Chain shot got a PotC ball cap, and we both got PotC insulated travel mugs. Oh, and Chain Shot just walked in and informed me that while we were gone the last two days, a very large herd of elk went through our place. Probably on Christmas day. There have not been elk in our neck of the woods for over 20 years, so that is VERY kewl. They were even in our front yard! Dang, and we missed it! Hope they come back! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

iPirate Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 well, me Missus has gotten to the point where she accepts (mostly) my pirate obsession but has not embraced it. So no pirate gifts for me this year. Although, I'm still riding the high of our Disney cruise back in October so I can't complain. She did buy me a new monitor for my computer, 20" Dell widescreen, HD, flat pannel. "Pirates of the Burning Sea" never looked so nice ^^ Time flies when you're having rum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Bob Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 As I am now back from Walt Disney World (and back at work in the Land of Ice and Snow...blech), I shall relate unto ye me Xmas goodies, Pyratically oriented. First off, and it seems to be a popular choice, I got a copy of the Crichton "Pirate Latitudes". Also, got me copies of "Blackbeard And The Queen Anne's Revenge", by Jean Day, and "Pirate Round: Early Eighteenth Century Maritime Navigation During the Golden Age of Piracy", by Richard Rutherford-Moore. But what is most meaningful to me was a book I laid hands on a couple days after Xmas. As mentioned above, I was at Disney World last week, including, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean. For those that don't know, there's a "pirate market" (as I like to call it) next to the ride. Usual stuff...t-shirts (I got a couple new ones), tricorns (cheap types...the straw hat I wore is much better), action figures, shot glasses, etc...and books. I thought their selection of books was sharply reduced this year, but looking over the selection, what did I find but..."General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates", Lyons Press 2002, intro by David Cordingly. Not what I expected to find...they didn't have it last year... And personally, I think Capn Charles Johnson was not Desperate Dan Defoe at all, but none other than Henry Avery. Thats what *I* think, and ye may lay to that! Damn, thats sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I got a variety of gifts - a couple of them could be construed as piratical. First, a Captain Skully glass (for fruity, potent rum drinks, such as you'd have in a tiki bar): And Jack found me a reproduction of a Nelson-era ship's lantern (I've SO wanted one of these ever since I saw Master and Commander - the first time): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
