A member of the pirate communities mother is ill and suffering. I don't know this person well so I don't wish to use names. However please pray that she suffers little. Pray that she gets past this illness and can go home quickly. Thank you all.

So, today marks the first year anniversary of two pub members.... One year ago today some minister shackled myself and Kate Souris together for all eternity... So I raise a glass to me wife, and here's to having at least 50 more of these years.. Because it will be a miracle if I live that long.

OCRACOKE, N.C. (July 4) - Five people working on Independence Day fireworks shows were killed by explosions, four of them by a single blast that rocked this remote village on the Outer Banks. The blast at Ocracoke came as workers were unloading fireworks Saturday from a truck at the Anchorage Marina, shaking homes and businesses across the southern end of Ocracoke Island and rattling residents and tourists. Earl Woodham, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said agents determined the cause was accidental. ATF will not investigate further, but a workplace safety agency such as the state Labor Department likely will try to find the spec…

Ahoy there fellow pirates! My name is Ashley but most know me as Varda... The seamstress and owner of The Corsair's Boutique. My boyfriend, Commodore WeirdBeard Synn introduced me to this forum, and I'm glad he did! I drop anchor permanently in Virginia, but have been known to travel up to Massachusetts. I spend tons of my time in my workshop creating new, innovative looks for pirate ladies and gents. I've been interested in pirates since before I can remember, so it seems only proper that I grew up to be one. I'll be poking around a bit more in the pub, hopefully my shyness will go away after a few rounds... So drink up, cuz this round's on me! Varda

The drunk's putrid stench assails my delicate senses as I step over his prone figure in the doorway. The smell only intensifies as I enter the loathsome establishment. Reaching for my kerchief I exclaim, "ssterling?!?!? Why on earth are you even here?" As I survey the landscape I begin to pity the people here but it is only a fleeting sympathy. "Well ladiesss and, gentleman, if you can even be called that, my name is ssSebastian Ellisss Sssseymour." " I am in ssearch of a Captain Sssterling? Have any of you filthy mongrels ssseen him?" "Ooh, isss my mooch falling off?" I exssclaimed patting said mooch.

The thread No More History! got me to thinking. If you could write a History curriculum, how would you design it? Don't worry about state guidelines or No Child Left Behind or any of that claptrap. What would you teach? How would you teach it? You can pick a grade level if you'd like. Be as general or as specific as you want. We all know that History is one of the least liked subjects in school, most likely because of the way it has always been taught: chronological, centered around wars or economics, tending to be biased towards the dominant culture of one's nation. This results not only in bored students, but bad history, which in turn gives us an uninformed po…

Interested in knowing if anyone else has heard about this... unfortunately I only caught a small bit off the radio and had six others in the car yacking at the top of their lungs, but the gist I got was... The historic sites either in the US or perhaps just in Virginia, are fighting a new proposition/bill, that would stop the teaching of history in the schools... anyone know about this and have more details???

I would have completely missed this if it wasn't for the Journalist who contacted me about doing a response article to this. Not sure if this was posted already.. if so, I'll post it again. Generally it's about Pirate Enthusists of what they think about the recent Somali Pirate activity. **** Link removed by request**** But, um... it's one of those that not only slaps you upside the head, but knocks on yo'r skull to get ye wonderin' and thinking... plus stirs yo'r blood either in a good way or a bad way. ~Lady B

OK, this is kicking around in Twill, and now in the Market, but the question doesn't really belong in either. Why take all the time to artificially age clothing, when just wearing it properly will do the same job? Is it your clothing, or just a costume you put on occasionally? From reading some of this, it seems that people want to look like a pirate, but wouldn't really go to the length of actually getting dirty and smelly. No matter how you do it, fake looks fake at anything less than ten feet. Even the pro costume wonks do this to be seen at a distance or on film, not in one to one contact. The only way to age clothing naturally and have it look right is to wear i…
