Well, it wasn't for lack of effort, but all my attempts at self destruction failed. No matter where I went, how hard I tried, pissed off as many enemies as I could... still, here I remain. In every port I am known, the old crews wouldn't let me give up the ghost, and have me convinced to carry on. So... with no further blatherin, rums all around fer any who's drinkin. Capt. Bo is buyin. DRINK UP YOU SCUM! YEEEEEE-HAAAAAW!

Greetings and a hoist of the tankard to all. Capt. Talbot here...and at least in this incarnation Capt. Talbot has much more rogueish blood than you may think. My home port is Boston, where my most well-known vessel makes port. But I've been known to commandeer others from time to time if it looks to be profitable. I work as a player on the stage and screen, basically making my living wearing tall boots and a sword. A few years ago that began to include roaming the ports of New England as a privateer in the service of the rebellion against the King. And like any good privateer, I'm looking to do more so long as there's profit to be had. This round is on me - here's to …

This is a must see for all you MythBuster fans Episode 71: Pirate Special Arggghhh, me hearties! Jamie and Adam plundered the seven seas in search of pirate parables and maritime myths. The result? This 2-hour spectacular episode! And, with four stories of hijinks on the high seas the action is thick and fast. Playing with more firearms, the guys try to figure out how deadly cannonballs really are versus the splinters sprayed from a mighty broadside blast. Kari, Grant and Tory on the port side decode the mysteries of the ol' pirate eye patch: why would a pirate wear a patch over a perfectly good eye? And if that isn't enough, the gang tops of the show with rum, knives a…

Today is day 6, post-op for me. Put the crutches away on Saturday and been doing fine without them. So far today, I've not had to have any pain meds and knee is looking more "normal." I've two incisions, each about 1/4 inch in length and with 2 sutures in them. Still have a bit of a listing to port limp but, it is fading as the days pass. Due to the cartilage (meniscus) being folded double onto itself, doc had to take out more cartilage than he originally planned. That hasn't seemed to be a bother to the knee so far. Best thing is, I can bend my knee and stand on m' leg without it giving out or popping like a handgun and leaving me lying on the floor! I go bac…

I write for my own amusement. Usually in my head while I'm driving to work. It's monotonous, so I let my mind wander , then jot it down shorthand and work on it when I get home. I was trying to organize my files, and came across a small piece I wrote some time ago. It's not that much, I've written better, but it was unattached to anything else so Thought I'd share - PS other than a small character bio, I have never put my stuff in "public" Though I am 42 chapters into a pirate book I have been working on for some time--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Destiny The man realized he had signed his own warrant as the words escaped…

I have been getting loads of these wife swap re-enactor spam mails.... Has anyone else? That is about the last thing I would do (or recommend) to any re-enactor. They always try to make you look like an ass h*le anyway. And for some re-enactors, that is not too hard. I think the con outweighs the pro..... Greg

A PIRATE’S CHRISTMAS By Capt. Rob Temple ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship The pirates were stirring rum punch for a nip The guns were run out to their maximum clearance Just in case ye old navy should make an appearance The lookout was passed out cold on the deck Dreaming of a hangman’s noose round his neck Blackbeard in his hat and I in my bandanna Had just settled down to smoke a Havanna When out on the sea there arose such commotion We knew there was something out there on the ocean Away to the railing I flew like a flash And leaning far over I threw up the hash And Blackbeard was laughing and bellowed out, “Aahhrr You always get…

Ahoy all ya folks! I just joined this online community last week and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kenneth, and I currently reside in the Boston, Massachusetts area. I have long been quite intrigued by pirates and many things associated with them giving that they lead a daring, do-it-yourself, independent lifestyle with loads of eccentricties and free-thinking. This fascination of mine likely began when I was a kid experiencing the Pirates of the Carribean attraction at Walt Disney World in Florida. I now certainlty love to attend events, activities, and quests related to the pirate theme, and hope that I can recruite mates through these forums that wouldn't…

Just had to share this. I was driving to Illinois this morning and just happened to come up behind a big black truck with Wisconsin plates that read PIRATE. How cool is that??? Another pirate on the same road as me at the same time. Any body else have a personalized license plate?

I love contests... and prizes. I was thinking about doing a "pirate of the year 2006" contest. This would be as an award/prize/recognition of the Pirate that has done an exceptional job of promoting, participating, and general good will in the realm of historical or fantasy piracy over the last year. Its not a popularity contest or anything, but I thought it might be cool to do. I have a rather extensive prize closet, and maybe we could do an "interview" an push to have it published in one of the Pirate Magazines that are afloat these days. Anyone else think its worthwhile? It would be hard to choose, as there are a lot of folks here that are really outstanding and d…
