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 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 some goes to a ren fest they can meet up with some 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. But I thought it would be nice to get to know some people that go to them. I am hoping that if the club …

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 …

Ahoy pirates!! I just got off the phone with Captain Gary and here is the latest news on the Royaliste, from the ship yard where she is out of the water and undergoing repairs. Saturday August 21st: The Royaliste left Pelican Harbor. The crew enjoyed a fine day of sailing in the company of Vernon Fairhead, Royaliste's former owner and captain, who came down from Canada to assist with the repairs. Sunday August 22nd: The yardarms were removed and the ship was prepared to be lifted out of the water. Monday August 23rd: I just spoke on the phone with Captain Gary. The Royaliste is out of water and he tells me that she is quite a sight to see, all 30 tons of her ba…

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.

I saw a very cool group at the Kansas City Ren Fest this (and honestly cn not wait to see them again.) 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. (lol I am also..making kind of a poster I guess you coul say of all of them transformed into anime characters lol hopefully this will turn out well…

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…

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!! :)
