So there's been an ongoing discussion about each of our forum names, but how about everyone's avatars? Some are pretty interesting - who made their own, who stole them (no shame in that, we're all pirates here)? Is there a link where we can see them up-close? My own was actually made by my brother, back in a day when I went by "spydermunky" online. Since switching my name, I added the red pirate hat and earring, and boom! Instant avatar.

A while back, I proposed/started a signature graphic contest. I had prizes and everything, though the contest was scrapped due to a pub "technical" difficulty. I have noticed that there are a LOT of cool signature graphics now..... I still got the prizes, and am willing to re-start the contest if any of you are still interested. You can't nominate yourself.... Anyone interested? (I will post the prizes when I get back home and can check out the prize locker!)

Dusk sets on the Pub. The usuals are bellied up to the bar chugging their grog. No action today, or so it seems. And then all Hell breaks loose as a new Captain strolls into the Pub with guns drawn. "Aye, Matey's...they be callin' me Ol' Blood and Bones ye bilge rats! If'n ye would like to find out why, just test me, me hearties! Me thinks ye will know soon enough as to the reasons, but for now, fill me mug with some of ye finest rum. I be in de mood fer drinkin' now, not shootin so you scallywags can breath easy".

Having struggled thru the books and the language, I'm wondering how much of it will be in the movie. Will they speak as they do in the book or will it be put in easier english for the masses?

I recently had an interesting discussion on vacation. Over several pints, we chatted about who would play "you", if there were to be a movie based on your life. So with a twist, what actor or actresses would play the role of "you" while in your pirate persona?

This excites me to no avail! (I must calm myself or I shall cause my nose to bleed!) There are many topics to discuss here; wigs, make-up, and attire with all its wondrous flash! Not to mention manner/behavior and etiquette! Ooo! This looks like it could be very entertaining, indeed! (Waves handkerchief lightly) Come now...do not be shy!

I've just joined this forum because I'm interested in getting into more historically accurate pirate activities. :) (And yes, I've liked pirates since before the POTC movies =p) I'm moving to Baltimore soon and I've been reading about the interesting history in that area so it's all very exciting. I'm currently in Kansas, so there hasn't been much (anything) to do. I've got a pirate-ish get-up that I wear around sometimes, but it's made out of a cheap bustier/corset, a dress of mine, a skirt, any one of my random peasant-like shirts, and boot covers. And while it looks neato, I'd like to keep pushing it into something more faire worthy. ANYWAY, sorry for all the ramblin…

Hello, Thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Andy Malcolm and I am the owner/craftsperson of Fire Dog Forge, a small weapons and armour manufacturing business. I am a self taught blacksmith and armourer with a passion of re-creating objects as authenticaly as possible. I am also a re-enactor who initially had an interest in Viking Age, but more recently have became more interested in ancient cultures such as that of Greece, Rome, Germany, and the Celts. I am currently trying to start a small re-enactment group in my town of Horsham (victoria, Australia) focusing on the celtic period 54BC. I hope to learn more of the pirate culture here on this forum and the wea…
