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.

Near me house is a miniature golf course called Pirates cove. It opened around 1990, and I have wanted to build a house like this ever since I first saw it. 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.

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 …

It seems a man had a tree that got sick and needed some major trimming. His wife suggested his 2 favorite things to him be joined and made into the tree. they were fishing and women! He hired a man to carve into the tree a 30 foot high mermaid with no top on, and only legs below. See the rest of the story here.. meanwhile, I say we offer him a get in free card to Pyracy..

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****

CaptnSharkys Pub closes for hurricane Jeanne Sept 25 2004! Had to close the pub again, me parrots had to come in and the rum had to come down from the shelves over the bar. Had to put me shutters up again, and batten down the hatches. The ships have left port, or been tied down! The wind be starting to blow, the rain is moving in, and it's only 1:50 PM. To see some pictures I have posted a few here!Sharkys Pub Closes! I'll post more pictures os the storm ifn I can still get on line!

Bilgemunky.com, in coordination with TalkLikeAPirate.com, is pleased as rum-punch to announce that the winner of the first ever Flying Dutchman Award for Outstanding Pirattitude is The American Pirate Association of Holland, Michigan! This is the first of what we hope will be many awards presented to private citizens that go above and beyond the call of piracy, fostering a sense of mutinous villainy coupled with warm-fuzzy feelings throughout their communites. The proud recipient of the Flying Dutchan will be presented with a hand-crafted pewter medallion featuring the Bilgemunky Jolly Roger, along with a special prize package compiled through the generous donations …

If you've be wondering why I've not been much in evidence on this board lately, I was in a mishap on July 10 that kept me offline for a bit. I thought it might be instructive to pass this on. I was at a meetup with some of the crew of the Juryrig (as nice a group o people as yd ever want to meet, by the way), and had spent a lovely afternoon shooting my doglock, shooting Duncan's giant slingshot, and helping set up his new period tent, eating way too much food, etcetera.. As evening wore on, someone suggested we start the fire, which was set in a metal fire ring. I decided to fire it up in traditional fashion, laying a small amount of powder in the kindling, then usin…

Aye, ye think by the ocean it would be cool, but NOOOOOOO! We suffered through horrible heat and humidity on Friday during set up of our camp, and on Sat. entertainin' the guests. On Sunday we had a wee bit o' relief when the temps went down a couple o' notches. I got to meet Privateer and his fine wife, an' I do think they enjoyed the show PRP puts on, "The Tryal of Anne Bonney and Mary Read". Here's some pictures o' some o' us here at the Pub. Red Maria (btw- the lantern she's standing next to came off the Interceptor of the POTC movie) Black Hearted Pearl Rumba Rue (yes I know me eyes are closed, I t'was enjoyin' the shade) Here's a few of us Port Royal Pri…

I hate it when threads get soooo long you have to keep scrolling to get to the new stuff so.... I had posted that I have a new site dedicated to the Pirate Re-enactor/Living Historians persuit of an authentic interpretation.... Well, I now have a Pirate's Library page up and running! Just Go to http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/index.htm and click on the Pirate's Library link (Tews Flag) If you think I have missed any significant work, please let me know. The problem with a lot of "pirate" books is that they re-hash a lot of the same info about the same pirate's bio. So if I missed a book with a lot of meat that is not covered in other tomes.... please pipe up!
