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.

Just kind of curious.... I have always assumed that those that came into "pirate" via SCA called it Garb. Others that have sailed in from other re-enacting time periods seem to call it "kit" or something else....

I was wondering if anyone could help me in a lifelong dream. Me and my friend have been friends for 24 years, sense the first day of kindergarten. It started with a dream that we never got tired of, sailing the Caribbean in a pirate ship ( maybe not a actual pirate ship but one made to look like one). We started early in life and had the opportunity to take care of my parents house, and later owned the place when they left it to me (nice place by the way), we went to a near by college together and got in the real estate business and are earning quiet a bit of money, everything goes to the bank. the money saved in that bank is for our dreams. That Pirate Ship, a custom mad…

I finally managed to look through all the pictures in the gallery under general pirate photos. What a surprise to find a picture of Bloody Buckets! I had no idea who or what this guy looked like and occassionally correspond with. I think the picture is from PIP, but if I'm wrong, someone correct me. So here's a picture of our Pub Administrator for all to see without going through the whole gallery. Bloody Buckets **Hey, Bloody, you can play with my squeezebox anytime!** Rumba Rue ** **

OK, I've got a general question for the board, based on a couple of things. First, I just got back from PiP in Key West. Now, granted I couldn't stay the whole week and left before many things even started, but I kind of felt out of place. Definitely a re-enactor among a group of Faire Folk. I even heard some talk among the Faire Folk about whether to remove fox tails, etc, and how 'faire' they could look. On another thread over at Captain Twill, Cap'n William says that he tailors his look and expectation to the event. So here's the question, or actually questions. Do the patrons of this pub consider themselves Faire Folk or re-enactors? Do you change your clothing…

From Jamica Rose (PRP) and Claire Warren (Tales of the Seven Seas) Everyone, below is an email I recieved from Allen Rawl, the master shipbuilder who built the Irving Johnson, which recently ran aground and was rescued in southern CA. He gives us a detailed update on the condition of the ship and includes photographs. - Claire From: "Allen Rawl" To: >Subject: IRVING JOHNSON-GROUNDING UPDATE-4-15-05 Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 14:20:23 -0700 Et-al, Last weekend, I rode to Ventura and checked out the damage inflicted upon IRVING JOHNSON as a result of recent grounding. Two planks were removed port-side forward exposing some of the stem assembly. The gripe, at the f…

I had a long discussion last night with my companion and it's opened my eyes to what I wasn't seeing. Some of us here at the Pub play our parts as the characters in which we wish to be percieved - regardless of the reality of our real lives. I do it to a certian degree, but I can never forget my real life, and my problem seems to be forgetting that others do it to forget their real lives. So I'd like to ask the question here to you members of the Pub, when you come here, do you act like the character you wish to be seen as, or just be a name connected to you, but still in reality?

I posted this in the Beyond Pyracy forum, but for those of you who don't look in there, and since many of you are RenFaire devotees, there is a new book just published called "Renaissance Faire." It's a short story collection with RenFaires as the recurrent theme. It's edited by Andre Norton and Jean Rabe and contains stories by the likes of Joe Haldeman, Esther Freisner, Elizabeth Anne Scarborough, Andre Norton and (blush) me. My story is called "Girolamo and Mistress Willendorf." It's from DAW books and is to be found in the Fantasy/SF section, since most of the stories are fantasies.
