subtitledL: old pirates don't die, they just smell that way. I've been monstrously busy, thinking I was making another crew to add to the Midwest Fleet. It hasnt happened yet, but I', hoping that I can add a few (dead) souls to the crew of the FG. I"m also getting (hopefully) my house fixed up to sell this spring, and an end to the (justabout) ex. Meanwhile, anyone have an extra pense for a cuppa Hot rum. Its -12 and my ... um... Owls are cold. ' sniffs.. I missed you guys!

Eye have been growing a beard for awhile now and so it is for me a natural thing to wanna attach beads in a few strands ~ And No this ain't like a Jack Sparrow! I'm doing my own gig here.. for Escondito and PirateCon.. I have tried tieing beads on with string with some sucess but it is time consuming. Some slippage wil occur. So I tried some mini plasctic clamp thingies but they just slide out of the hair and will not support the weight of the beads.. Any one ever try this and what did ya do to get it to work? As an historical Question..What Real pirate ever did this in the first place?

I am getting ready to update my signature, etc.,and need these fonts for other things. Although I typically 'pyrate' fonts because I'm just that, i am planning on spending thr $49 for this Minutman printshopset, after I recieve my income tax refund. I am also wondering if this forum is capable of actually adding these fonts. it'd be neat to have something other than the generic six.

Not sure where exactly this'll go but I'll try here. I'd love to learn swordfighting and the sort. Be there a video or DVD set out there to help? Difficult for me to just find a few folks around to learn. Already tried that, can't seemed to find some blighters. So, figured that if there was something I can watch in the comforts of m' quarters to help and practice, at least I know what th' devil I'm doing. ~Lady B

This be m' first post. Just found m' way here at the invite of a fine Wench at the Ft. Myers Port. M' thanks, Honour Bright. I be Jezabel Mary Stewart Callis MacPeaks, otherwise known as Jezzy the Butcher. I'll be obliged to share m' story in another part of this here forum, if ye care to know me better. In "Mundania" I hail from Ohio. I gave up a fine management job at a store in a mall there to go on the road to live the "Faire" life. I've been hauntin' faires for the past few seasons and fell madly in love with the Rennie Life. Bein' a Pyrate is where m' heart is! Imagine how restrained I be feelin' now as I ain't exactly permitted to be a Pyrate at this here …

I'm new here , been doing SCA as an Elizabethan privateer for 25 years, cause the Golden Age is post SCA period lookin fer some pirate fun! Some folks have mentioned being a fan of certain movies, for me it's The Black Swan, Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and while some may take offense at this, Cutthroat Island (Good fun in the classic style) The Disney trio was fun (when the first one came out the SCA group I was in at the time talked the local theater into bringing us in for live fencing demos in the lobby and theatrical fencing at the beginning of each show on opening night) After all it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, THEN IT's a GAME OF CHASE TH…

Just thought I'd ask before diving in again. For those who remember me, I'm buying! For those who don't, I'll be drinking rum. And make it snappy. Oh! And the profile photo! No, I couldn't breathe, and yes, I didn't especially care.

Avast! (I thought I'd use that old cliché, as it was originally a Dutch word) I'm new to this board, so here's the introduction, before you all become impatient and nail my gizzard to the mast: I'm a 34-year old Dutch writer with a few non-fiction books published, one of which explored the legend of the Flying Dutchman (and I wrote it at least two years before 'Dead Man's Chest', so it's not mentioned). My first novel has been picked up by a big publisher (Arrr, it may be break-through time!) and will be published, if things go according to plan (best laid plans and all that, every pirate knows never to take the next dawn for granted, eh?) sometime around october. It's…

All right, here be m' story....And I'm stickin' to it! You may find m' story to be quite unbelievable, but, bear with me. I was borne to a Pirate...and a Queen! I was named Jezabel Mary Stewart Callis. M' father was John Callis, famed pirate of the English, Welsh and Irish Coasts. Prior to his arrest and imprisonment on charges of piracy, which carried a death sentence, Cap'n Callis was smitten and fell in love with m' mum, Mary, Queen of Scots. 'Tis alleged that they carried on an illicit afair, of which, I am their issue. Mary gave birth to me in secret just prior to her own imprisonment at the hands of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth. After m' mother abdicated her …

Seriously, I can't wait until the season starts. I am jonesing for some good times with my awesome pirate buddies. God, it's unbearable. Maybe this wasn't worth it's own thread, but seriously, I'm dying over here for some events. And I just went to TWO events in the last month! I might be hooked, people.
