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! You can read the on-line version here, I believe the print version has more photos. The on-line version has a close-up of Jeff, who always gets the most media attention cuz he's the prettiest one on the crew! CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARRRRRRRRRTICLE!

Hi everyone :) I'm fairly new but I wanted to see if anyone had yet to visit an eatery here in Savannah, Ga? It's called the Pirate House and has been around since the mid 1700's. It looks really amazing, still has the clapboard (I think that's the style?) style and just looks..piratey. You can still visit the entrance to the underground tunnels that lead to the ocean and what used to be docks....yup, pressed labor aplenty. Here's the link in case anyone wants to make plans to visit Pirate House If I'm not mistaken about which restaurant it is, I believe you can still see a skull in one of the walls. They left there when the renovators came across it. Hopefully hubb…

I was asked, over in the Rapier vs.Cutlass thread, why I only carry real weapons. I think that answer deserves a thread of it's own. It's something that's been kicked around before, but not recently, and we have a lot of new crew members. Simply stated, my goal is to be able to live as much as possible in a pre-1763 lifestyle. I need to have the skills, the mindset, and the equipment to be able to live as a 16th, 17th, or 18th century person. Carrying fake weapons, ones that will not do their assigned tasks, just doesn't cut it for me. If I carry a pistol, it has to be able to shoot, and I carry all the accoutrements that go with it- powder, ball, etc. If I carry a …

I can't believe that this high school student has to go thru this. Deadly Aim Teen Suspended Over Civil War Weapon Wed Oct 13, 9:46 AM ET Top Stories - AP PINE BUSH, N.Y. - A teen-age Civil War buff has been suspended from school and faces serious charges after his replica musket was found in his car trunk at school in the Orange County community of Pine Bush. Joshua Phelps had been at a re-enactment with his Civil War costume, including a musket last week. He threw the uniform and equipment into his truck and forgot about it. Yesterday a security guard at the Pine Bush High School saw it and called police. Phelps was sitting in study hall when the securi…

Being new here I just got ta wonderin whats yur preferance? and why? I personally don't own a cutlass, though in a real fight I think it would fit my style, up close with lots-o-hackin n slashin! I do have 2 rapiers, I have always thought they made you look more important, kinda noble, that ways ya could sneak in and get the treasure easier. A rapier in one hand and a good boarding axe in the other and off you go!! :)

Who has them. As far as pirates go, I have a pretty cowardly idea about receiving pain. But I really want to get me one. What do you have and on a scale from one to ten how bad did it hurt? Do you think some spots hurt more then others? I may do this while I'm at Pirates in Paradise. OK show me some pics.

I think I could do a better job at making it look real. but it still be pretty cool it be surrounded by a massive water feature with creeks, water falls and ponds Arr I would like to build a bigger one for me house with pond and everything. The ship is two story with the last holes of the two courses being on tha top deck. But I would make mine soooo much better....if I could only talk me wife into the idea.....

I'll post more about this when I have more time. I just wanted to get everyone to start thinking about it now. Katey and I were thinking of having a pirate feast . We figure that after the new year would be the best time. Holidays over and everyone will have thier vacation time back. Anyhow.... there is a lot to discuss about this. For right now I would like to know who would be interested and to have everyone give some input on a possible location. Our home , although we would love to do it here, isn't big enough for this. So let the Capt. know if you want to do this. You have plenty of time to start working on new outfits. I'll give more info later when I have time. G…

Dear Ivan: Hey, how's it going out there near Barbados? Listen, lots of us here in Southwest Florida have been talking about your scheduled visit. Now, please don't take this the wrong way. We like spectacular forces of nature as well as the next guy. We realize that Florida and hurricanes go together like country music and drunken driving. We don't want to mess with tradition. And we know you hurricanes recharge the aquifers, provide an exhilarating break in the stifling heat of late summer, and give neighbors a chance to bond. The economic boost you give to Home Depot alone is enough to make up for whatever inconvenience is to be expected. So normally yo…

okay so heres the deal: I've been reading anything I could get my hands on since I was old enough, and writing for just about as long. I've been told by many people I'm rather good at it and I would love to become a publish writer some day. My problem is mechanics, which any normal writer already has ingrained in their mind. Unfortunately it was discovered when I was already an adult that I suffer from both ADD and mild dyslexia, making the learning process for me a bit harder, as concepts that come easier to others don't as much to me. My college told me that I should just shell out more money for these remedial english classes, which I can neither afford nor fit …

Jeesh! Seems like every time I branch out into any threads 'ere at the pub anymore, 'tis a flippin' folly 'o 'lil buccaneers spoutin' all kinda crap, most 'o which has little or nuthin' to do with 'Piracy', fictional or non-fictional. Wot the Bloody Bloomin' 'eck be the drinkin' age in this 'ere joint, anyhoo???...Methinks it may be time to clear this pub outta alla the juveniles, an' chase 'em back to the kid's chatrooms where they belong, as they contribute little to the brethren, nor spend much with the hosts and sponsors **Steps off soapbox, walks back up gangplank, and pours a shot 'o rum with genuine, ADULT pirates****
