Friday was really nice, but by late Saturday the wind had changed and the smoke from the fires was drowning the event and made me very sick. Sadly, we had to pack everything up and come home. We could clearly see the flames from the fires heading straight for Santa Paula and Ojai from the 126. There was a HUGE caravan of firetrucks along 126. We got home around 11:30 PM and finally in bed an hour later. Sadly I was horribly ill, and the Porcline God became my friend for a short time. Then around three something in the morning, I had a horrible leg cramp in my left calf that woke me up screaming in pain. Something I haven't had happen to me for many years. Basic…

Heard on CBC radio "The Early Show" this morn of a Vancouver BC household who has a Pirate Treehouse. They've been attacked by petty bureaucrats who say they need to spend $4000 or so for a building permit, even though the treehouse is not visible from the road. Flying under false colors, the city were, since they had told these noble folk that they did not need any permit when they began. I'm trying to find out a link, picture, etc - any Canadian Pirates out there? I think these fool bureacrats need to be keel-hauled - or at least drowned in ridicule!

***PRIZE UPDATE*** We had a glitch awhile back with the first contest, which resulted in some of the votes being deleted. To make it fair, we suspended the contest until I had enough energy to re-create everything. In the mean time, a lot of you have done sig graphics, and quite a lot of them are pretty darn good. So the contest will be back on. I am in the process of acutally hunting down sponsers for some prizes. Loyalist Arms has offered a $25 gift certifate to a winner! If you are thinking about a flintlock, please take time to check out their site! http://www.loyalistarms.freeservers.com/ne...roducts-01.html Track of the Wolf Has graciously provided free cat…

I'm looking at the blades from Armor Class http://www.armourclass.co.uk/Data/Pages/17...17Century_8.htm and I'm wondering if the US dollar is worth more or less than a pound?? They're asking about $110.00 for reenactor blades and $142.00 for the battleready. What does that come to in US dollars?? Never dealt with this before!!!! Help! I want to buy me a blade!!! Rats!!

One of my shipmates has finally finished building his own two seater airplane, and rightfully deemed it to have some Piratical noseart. The problem has been to come up with some sort of Pirate slogan under the Skull and Crossbones imagery... We were thing some sort of "Death from Above!" type of phrase, but obviously with more of a Pirate twist to it. Any ideas? Thanks, Pirate King

I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed my time on this site. NEVER before have I met a better group of people, on the whole, than those that are here. I have been able to be silly and serious without anyone jumping down on me. Now of romance and reality of pirates, I have seen some of you in Port Washington and though I did not get to meet you I got to see how you acted. The romance is what will bring most of the new commers to this game. Then once in they can choose which to follow the romance or the reality. There are those of you out there that are VERY good at the accuracy and I am glad to know you. I myself plan to TRY to be accurate but I know that if I am …

This is always fun... Perhaps it's been done... but... Let's make up some pirate limericks! They can make since, or not, who cares, it's fun... let's play! There was an old pirate from tortuga He ate sea turtles and beluga He preferred to drink rum But he couldn't find some So he settled for wine from Chattanooga. There was a young pirate in trouble He always smelled like a soap bubble So he rolled in dead fish And on a star made a wish And now looks like Barney Rubble. There was a big ship on the sea Captained by a pirate named Smee He got sick of Hook And decided to book To live a life fancy and free There was a young wench from Peru Who want…

Ahoy All, I come to you seeking aid. I'm working up a new show and want to include a bit about Brass Monkeys. I know the basic information about where and when the term came into being. That's not what I'm asking about. A couple of years back, I chanced upon a website with an interesting take on the subject. It was pruely fun, but fun I want to use. The person or persons behind this website had come up with or were retelling a myth that at one point there were monkeys that had a brass coloring to their fur, hence the name Brass Monkey. Now, if memory serves, these monkeys were supposed to be very smart and highly sought after for ship mascots. The probelm came from the…

The Finn brothers and I were hoisting a pint or 12 last night. We heard a commotion outside and saw Ray had some o' the lads restocking the cellar. We snuck in behind them and found this: Ray did catch us though. The only way he'd not tell the local constabulary is if we can pack the pub today. So, come in and hoist a pint and tell us what your drinking to today....It's Friday!!!!!! Here's to Friday and another faire weekend!

Sorry all ye lonely lasses, I recently asked my love to marry me and she said yes. I didn't even have to pour rum down her throat first! I guess that means more for the celebration. Maybe the two gold plated deringers and shiny rock on a piece of metal overcame her senses. She loves plunder as much as me. The 'big day' is probably about a year or so off, but more details will follow to those who would like them. It'll probably be in either WA or CT, but a lot of that depends on where I get stationed next as well. So, drink up! Coastie

When you fill in your bio with your birthday, it will automatically show up on your birthdate. (Don't know how to get to your bio? Just click on the above that says, My Controls-I might add this is a great way to get to know people- that is if they've put anything in their bios) We'd all love to say 'Happy Birthday' to many, but lots of times we just don't know who you are. Meaning, that unless you are a regular poster, it goes over the side of the ship into the deep sea. So if you want to be recognized don't be afraid to jump right in and yak with the rest of us about whatever the topic is. Cheers!

Ok all you pirates. As I am new to these waters I am hoping for some help. I am looking for pirate related web sites. There are just too many on google to wade through. I am looking for loot, reenacting, ships, history, and just about anything. Care to help someone with a few new charts for these waters?

Being the instigator that I am (can't help it . . . Pirate) I thought this to be just as good a time as any to discuss some of me observations. There are in fact two types of pirates. 1. Historical re-enactors 2. interpretive actors (oh and apparently very real Pirates- keep reading) added later Based on what I see most fall in the middle but leaning more tword intepretive actors. I find historical re-enactors to be more vocal and certainly more anal when it comes to the fine details of the genre. we as a pirate community need to get to a happy place of co-existance between both types. There is plenty of room and each provides a different service if-you-will to…

Ok I have recently learned the why's and why not's, so let me explain and I'd like to hear what you all have to say. Most pirate type groups out there do not have any insurance. They usually have some kind of barrier around their camps to keep the public out. When you have weapons displayed and personal belongings, you don't want the public to access that. There's lots of stupid people out there. But with Pirates of Treasure Cove, we have insurance. The reason why is because we have an open camp, no barriers. We invite people to come in. We do have weapons about and we do our darndest to keep people from pulling swords out of the scabbards. Instead, a member will do it…

I started getting into pyracy about a year ago. All I wanted at the time was a costume, but then I found the Pyracy Pub. All of a sudden I find that having a costume isn't enough. You've gotta have a pirate name, a persona and a fictional background. You've also got to be able to act (or reenact) like a pro, but I'm not a pro (I'm just barely an am). My question is, now that I look the part (even if it looks like a part in a Gilbert & Sullivan play) how do I do all the rest? Unlike Tall Mike Bismuth van der Bulge (cool name, BTW), I picked my name almost at random. This wasn't because I didn't care, but because I wanted to start participating as soon as possible. Hop…
