Admiring her ring and such a locket, My mind was to gettin' it, right in me pocket. The good laird forbid I be gettin' caught, For they would find all the booty and lot. So as I eyed this wench and her shine, As in sooth I wished it to be all mine. It gleamed too well for her sweet chest, And would suit asure my own fine vest. - Hook

This is along the piratical lines. The Sunday after Thanksgiving I found a cockatiel outside of my house. Now mind you I am in Maryland and it was a bit chilly that day. I had heard some bird noises from outside all morning but just chalked it up to that maybe there was a bird just outside my son's bedroom window. It wasn't until after lunch that my son wanted me to see the "bird's nest". The nest was actually the mess in my gutters that need to be cleaned. I did happen to look down and saw a white ball. I thought it was a dove, but when I got closer I noticed the yellow on top. I ran in to tell me other half about the cockatiel. He said I should try to catch it.…

I'm known as Robert "the Sea Wolf" Studley. I was born in 1672, and brought to America by my parents when I was small. We came from a tiny village in Scotland with hopes of a new life. My Mum and Pop got ill on the voyage over and died shortly after arriving in Carolina. I was raised by a kind Shipbuilder and his family. My nickname came from my fiesty nature. I was always getting into trouble and would rather spend my days out on the ocean than around the house. I worked on the docks for several years enjoying the tales from the Ol' Salts. One evening I was knocked over the head in a local tavern and awoke on a British merchant ship. Relunctantly I worked on the ship w…

Bloody Buckets is CEO of a web development and hosting company Gray Sail and the organizer of an authentically-costumed 20+ pirate crew in Columbia, South Carolina... and a suscriber to NQG since before it was cool. He's been more a listener than a poster on Pyracy, but he's a very strong supporter of the concept and appreciative of what the forum has accomplished in terms of turning many small groups of relatively harmless pirate geeks into something truly large and dangerous! The Pub will keep its close association with NQG. Here's Bloody Bucket's message to everyone: Just a quick note to let you all know that the Pyracy Pub will remain in friendly hands. Mostly …

I went to Burger King to buy myslef one of those Spongebob watches that they are selling for $1.99 (I am a HUGE fan of Spongebob Squarepants!) Ok, the first two I went to were sold out, then I was able to try 7 more, and all sold out! So now I am really obsessed with getting one (you ALWAYS want what you can't have! I went on ebay and they are selling for about $20 apiece! What is the deal?

A person in our group just posted to our personal forum in PRP, claiming that she prefered to do the Ojai faire as opposed to others, because partying was allowed into the late hours of the night. Now I couldn't help but respond with: I don't go to events for the 'party' afterwards. I go and have the party all day long entertaining the guests. If all a person goes to an event for is the party afterwards, you're in the wrong group for the wrong reasons. So my question here is to those of you who do events, do you do it for the fun of the event, or for the partying afterwards? Rumba Rue ** ** P.S. You can't see the PRP forum unless you're a member, sorry. Them's…

I am right now in the process of making a web site that. Will give info on as many ren fests as possible in my home state (MO), and I also wanted to add a page onto the web site once it is finished, for a club..a pirate club. I want it to be open to anybody like me that lives in or near the the state of Missouri that enjoys the heck out of going to Ren Fests. So that IF someone goes to a ren fest they can meet up with someone that hopefully they have already had the chance to chat with. lol needless to say I might not be able to make it to all of the ren fairs we have going on if the club gets up and going. But I thought it would be nice to get to know some people that go…

A pirate walked into a bar and ordered up a grog. A lubber comes in and sits next to the pirate. The lubber noticed that, like any self-respecting pirate, this guy had a peg leg, a hook in place of one of his hands and a patch over one eye. The lubber just had to find out how the pirate got in such bad shape. He asked the pirate, "How did you lose your leg?" The pirate responded, "I lost me leg in a battle off the coast of Jamaica!" His new acquaintance was still curious so he asked, "What about your hand. Did you loose it at the same time?" "No," answered the pirate. "I lost it to the sharks off the Florida Keys." Finally, the lubber asked, "I notice you also have …

So I'm not too sure what topic this bit o' business fits into, but they are pirates, to be sure, so I'll put em 'ere, and if they're out of place, perhaps thems what's in charge can lead 'em to where they need be. I usually lurk about these waters, but thought it high time a threw my hat into the ring. 'Tis a gift for the luscious Red Bess. A strong pirate lass and her new employee. ~.O Hope you enjoy.

The Jolly Rogers, a very fun group that sings songs(old pub chanities..lol sory if that spelled wrong by the way), does adult comedy, and flirts with the we woman folk..all that the same time. I am not exactly for sure just where they are out of, but I believe it is close to me (In Missouri) I emailed these fine lads already and told them what a fine job I thought they did and that I enjoyed the shows they put on very much.

I heard about a man in the navy who is a satanist, and due to satanism being a registered faith the law dictates that he is allowed to perform his religious rituals at work, and that he can't be fired on basis of religion. Must be interesting out at sea playing war-games when during the night-watch some guy is out on the deck sacrificing a black goat and chanting to the dark gods.

An old pirate went to a bar and ordered a grog. As he sat sipping his grog, a young wench sat down next to him. She turned to the pirate and asked, "Are you a real pirate?" He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life on a sailing ship, herding women, plundering, and fightin' scurvy, so I guess I am." She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. Even when I eat, I think about women. Everything seems to make me think about women." The two sat sipping in silence. A short time later, a man sat down on the other side of the old pirate and asked, "Are you…

If you're in the SF Bay Area, pick up a copy of the Oakland Tribune, the Tri-Valley Herald or the San Mateo County times. I am told the article they did on us is a HUGE spread!
