Most everything you seem to see regarding (most being over 80%) weapons or at least what I have noticed are flintlock whether they are english or french the primary difference being doglock. However, considering that most of the new world was colonized by Spain I would think the Spanish Miquelet lock would be a little bit more prevelant. Do you supose it is due to the fact that being a british colony that is what we naturally associate with? I wonder honestly if you were a pirate what percantage of the arms aboard as most of them would of been captured would of truly been flintlocks? Logically I would assume that most of the settlements would be Spanish with most of t…

I finally remebered what it was I've been meaning to ask you. There's a bonny lass th' name 'o Terri Meese (a.k.a. Mouse) that was a dear friend of mine back in the day. I know she used to hang out with you guys and I lost touch with her some years back. I was wondering if you knew her and/or had heard from her recently.

Ohé de l'équipage! I just found out that I should have presented my self here before posting, how rude of me!

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. I salute You!

First off let me start by saying what the hell happened to the pub? I was going to reply to everyone on the Drunken Sword Fight post, but it seems to have disappeared. So this is a reply to all those who had questions. I have been good, making babies and buying houses, well making a baby and buying a house, and all that other grown up stuff that I have been running from that eventually caught up to me, but I love it. I haven't been to an event since Ojai 07, and just recently went Southern last weekend, and had a blast, saw Kent there, or Diego for all the old school out there, he's doing good. The better half didn't feel like going to Southern Cali events while pregnant…

Please note that I am trying to check in when I can ~ though at present the delays are up to 7-10 days. Please accept my apologies ~ I hope things will calm down to a mere storm by mid-June.

Spoo Diggity of The Pirate Charles has lost his hat, worse yet, it may even been Stolen!! It is a black hat with blue trim ... and possibly a gold medallion and other flourishes on the side. it also has white stitching like "X"s across the top. it also has two bones that cross in the front. here's a picture of diggity wearing the said hat at PyrateCon, 2oo8.

THE PIRATES CHARLES can, of course, be contacted through www.thepiratescharles.com. Please pass this …
