Aye, What place is this I’ve stumbled upon? I been wanderin’ a vast wasteland of cyberspace, always with an eye out for a nice comfy tavern with friendly folk and the sweet scent of draught Guinness in the air. Have ye all room for one more? As I lurked a bit in the shadows I sees there’s others of me same ilk so let’s me step into the dim light and show me self. As I talk I must buy rounds for all ye. Line em up Mister Ray if you please. And when your glass is empty I’ll buy another as we know one’s not enough and there’s tales to tell. I goes by the moniker of Mick Moon and I be new in these parts so be patient with an ol’ pyrate workin’ on his wobbly sea legs. Ye can s…

We've all been through this silliness, so give it up! What absolutely assinine situation have you dealt with whan encountering the public? I've had more than one woman ask me if I was too hot in me garb, since the dew point up here in Minnesota can be ridiculous. Here be me answers... - "Too hot? I was hoping for 'incredibly sexy', but I'll take 'hot' on a a bad day!" - "It gets even hotter when I'm out of this garb. Care to go back to the car park for a bit of a cuddle?" - I look off into the sky, opposite the Sun, and declare "Aye, but it's better than the possible alternative, eh? Wait a moment... where's my banana?! Help! Guards!! Banana thief!!!"

Are you part of a ship's crew or guild? Or are ye a rogue pyrate freelancin'? Tell us about your group. Fer example, I see William Red Wake, Petee, Diego an' Rummy are part of the Watch Dog, but I don't know anything about the Watch Dog. Do you do faires together as a group? Just curious about your affiliations if any, and to see how many guilds or crews are represented here at the pub. An just ta' loosin' things up, drinks are on me My ship, the HMS Stranglehold is represented here in the pub by Killian, Gigi, Blaze, Ves Gillooly an' meself. We participate in Ren Faires in So Cal, but mostly the Escondido Faire and are available fer hire at private events as we…

Still tryin' to figure out just how and when cocked hats became associated with the Renaissance....not that anything at a Ren Faire bears any resemblance to the Renaissance anyway. That's kinda like dressing up as a cowboy except wearing bell-bottom jeans.

Late in the day, and I realize how many serious posts I've either started or contributed to; so.....on to the fun stuff.... What pirate or buccaneer do you identify with the most and why? Mine would be Calico Jack. A lot of show, a lot of need for adventure and sometimes trying too hard to be THE pirate. He wasn't great, but he had a certain attraction about him that earned him a lot of attention and a faire bit of respect...up til the end, that is. He was a survivor, if not a great fighter or great pirate...but he did his best and had fun doing it.

Just had a question about the storing of accoutrements... What is the proper way to hold various items like pipe and tinder box, coins, combs, things of that sort. I have a primitive leather pouch with a deer antler button that a friend made for me, would that work? could pockets be sewn into your slops?

Kass raised a question about interacting with the public in another thread. I was wondering, what do you, fellow pirates, do to either entertain the public or to educate them?

Hello the List! Over the last few months, having attending various pirate-related events and small gatherings, I've oft heard folk say they are looking for pirate groups to join, but want to avoid the "Hollywood" pirate image. This most recently came from a younger couple who denounced the Hollywood image, yet sported fantasy doublets and bodices, big black hats with huge plumes, the most sparkling swords and knives you ever saw, and had names based on fantasy characterization. The man looked like the Captain Hook after a visit to Fredericks for Men and the woman like a piratically possessed Lara Croft. If they wanted historical, wouldn't they have been a lot plainer in…

As I was lying in bed the other night, deathly ill, I started thinking how funny it could be if I started this here list and see what everyone could come up with. So I'll start it off, and everyone else add anything that pops into their heads. You might be a pirate if . . . ~You go into a bar and try to order Grog ~Anytime someone speaks negativly about pirates, you look at them in all seriousness and respond "You say 'Pirate' like it's a BAD thing!" ~You think Hamlet is Shakespeare's greatest work, not for the depth of Character, but because pirates rescue the hero -Well, that's all I can remeber for now. They seemed funnier the other night. Maybe I was delerious …

So I’ve been building a cannon and the barrel is completed. Well yesterday them ammo came in the mail. I should have waited until the carriage was built, but I couldn’t resist a test fire. I wasn’t sure how loud it would be or if it would actually work for that matter, or if it did work, would I blow myself up. I’ve been blown up before and I have to say I didn’t really like it all that much and wouldn’t recommend it, trust me its not as cool as it looks. But that’s a different story. So I really didn’t want it to happen again and I wasn’t really sure about this thing considering I got the plans of the internet. Well, I got it all set up to fire and when I lit it. KABOOM!…

A question for ye corsairs, do most of ye talk like pyrates every waking day in real life, or just on the 19th o' September? I sometimes forget me words and say things like "I plays" instead of "I play", or "me bucko" instead of "my friend", Among other things. Sometimes me pirate lingo comes out of me in real life without me thinkin' much.
