Hangin at Execution dock awaits. May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!
As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words:

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.

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.)

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.

Christmas gift? For me? :lol:

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.

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. :P :lol:

If only this power could be used for good...



PS. This is what the inside of my head looks like:

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.

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.

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. I had several user IDs including MarkCK, MarkCK7, Barstool and stupid.

I started making my own cultured vegetables and made coconut kiefer, tons of it.seromycin for sale online seromycin for sale online low cost sporanox now seromycin for sale onlineOh, I had my saw out in the kitchen and there would be a whole case of it.

Buy Seromycin Onlineget a seromycin without prescription As it turned out, way later I found out, that I had some sort of weird parasite, which I have since completely healed myself from or got rid of.
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...

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 ^^

Buy Discount Seromycin in - Seromycin

But I really learned a lot about cultured foods. Buy Discount Seromycin Now I can hardly go a couple of days without my cultured vegetables. Purchase Seromycin Without Script Next Day Delivery Of course they're raw and they have so much more of a combination and variety of probiotics bacteria; whereas, if you take the pills you're only getting certain strains. Seromycin For Sale Online In cultured vegetables when you've got a combination of maybe sea vegetables and cabbage and carrots and whatever else you want to put in.. Get A Seromycin Without Prescription

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!

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):

Mission, you necromancer you... raising old threads from the dead...
I did get something piratey... a pair of skull n xbones fleece pants for sleepin' in. Oh! And a really, really nice skull n xbones mug that was made in Germany. It is really light, feels like fine china as opposed to some of the more clunky coffee mugs I have.

The coolest thing I gave? Either the $100 worth of fancy tea from Harney & Sons or the blu-ray copy of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but of which were presents to the missus.
