Greetings all, I couldn't remember if we'd ever discussed doing our gift exchange this year or not before the old pub crashed. So, nosy pirates are wondering .... are we doing the Secret Santa Gift Exchange this year? If so, count me in to participate! Rumba and GoF - are you all still running it? Just curious... Emerald

I just realized I never introduced me'self. 'Tis a good thing I never claimed t' have manners! My name is Jessica, but ye can call me Red or RedJessi, as it matches both hair and general disposition. I'm new to the activity of piratin' but have long been fascinated by the stories (honestly, since I was a wee lass and learned the history of Florida- my native state - what with Ponce de Leon, Black Caesar, Sir John Hawkins and the like). I am also finishing up my graduate degree - after a decade as a graphic designer, I finally went back to school. Come December, I will earn my masters in social work, as another interest of mine is social science and psychology. Other hob…

Ahoy there everyone! I be a new swabbie here, and looking fer some pirate companionship that I can never seem to find. I'm fifteen years old, living in Sunnyvale, CA. I've been into pirates for roughly a year and a half, and I've amassed a small collection of pirate equipment, including a naval cutlass, flintlock pistol, two compasses, a spyglass, and a fully-fledged pirate outfit. I am a member of Sea Scouts, a youth boating program. We own and operate a 95-foot coast guard cutter, the SSS Challenger. In addition, believe it or not, I found out from my aunt, a genealogist, that I am descended from a French privateer, Francis LeBaron. Thus, I derived my alias, Bartholome…

I am not exactly new. I was Jean Lafoot, but now I have taken the name Jony Winter (a much more piratey name). I left for awhile to other ports, but now I hope to stay. Right now I have my own blog at churchofljs.blogspot.com (Church of Long John Silver) where I attempt to apply the wisdom of Long John Silver, primarily from Treasure Island and Return to Treasure Island. Oh, to be a financial pirate! But lets not forget the real reason for being a pirate ... to lay on the beach and drink rum. Armen

I'm bloody well at work right now, and going thru the newspapers, I discover an article on Pirate Reenacting in today's New York Times (10-26-08), in the Sunday Styles section. No Quarter Given is mentioned. I didn't have a chance to look at the article. I should also point out, as an item of side interest, my original hometown of Charlottesville VA is mentioned in the Travel section.
