It has come to my attention that some residents of the fair peninsula known as Florida are pointing fingers at ol' Hurricane 'ere, insinuatin' that it is I who is drawing the likes of Charley and now Frances. While I will gladly look them square in the eye anytime, I have not issued any invites and 'tisn't true that one Hurricane automatically draws another. I've noticed some tar and feathers bein' left about on the docks near the Blackheart recently and some scallywag seems to be tryin' to run me out of town to rid the populace of this nuisance (Frances, Charley, et al, not meself). Me own assumption is that it's that blasted Mayor Buddy of neighborin' Portlando, up to…

He never said where he was going. He just walked out the door and didn't turn back even once as he walked to the pier. I always wondered what became of him. Was he lost at sea? Did he perish in prison? Does he own land in the West Indies? Perhaps, he is adrift even now. Can anyone tell me what became of him? There is extra credit for creativity, so remember, keep it double spaced.

In the Raids forum a few weeks ago, I posted about my crew, the Pirate Brethren of Texas, attending bingo at a gay bar in Dallas(in specific the Throckmorton Mining Company bar). Unfortunately, due to conditions beyond our control, Bingo got cancelled, permanantly. My crew has been asked by the managers to come up with some interesting ideas to take the place of Bingo and a thought was to create a "Pirate night" once a month on a Tuesday night. We came up with many ideas, ranging from having the opportunity of bar patrons to be put into pirate garb and have their photo taken as a pirate to a murder mystery theater event(which was one of the manager's idea). After discus…

I was hoping that our fair maidens of the sea could help quench my curiosity. The once great city of Atlantis has slipped beneath the waves, where mortals cannot gaze upon it's majestic architecture. Is she still beautiful lying quitely on the ocean floor, or does it sadden one's heart to see her empty streets. On many nights at sea I have looked to the horizon and invisioned a brightly lit city, with torches blazing and laughter floating on the warm breezes. But many years ago, Great Neptune punished the citizens of Atlantis, and took her away. Now only the creatures of the sea can inhabit this once magical city. Many mariners have told wondorous stories about fair …

HELP!!!! I would like to ask your opinion on which name I should use for a character. Here are the choices and how I came up with them let me know what you think..... Tabitha Foxx: My cats first name that I always use as a handle, and I used foxx because Captain Foxx sounded really good to me.... Pandora Foxx: Cheesy but the name sounds good and Pandora means gifted one from what I found on the internet although I'm not sure about the jokes that would come with it..... OR AnyaBeth Foxx: A combo of my first name (Anastasia) and my middle name (Elisabeth) Thanks for your help!

*is there some kind of rehab group for re-enactors*? Ok I admit it, I am a stitch nazi. There I have said, it and I feel better already. But over the years and especially recently, I have discovered that I am not the center of the universe as I had originally thought. Every day, people live their lives and have good days and bad days with sunshine and rain..... I can't change the world and I am not the patron saint of re-enacting. That doesn't mean that I do not still highly value authenticiy and trying to replicate the past with anal retentive obsession. It just means that I do what I do and I let others do what they do. For After all, we go to Pirate FESTIVALS. …

Fellow Sea Dwellers, it is with a most heavy heart I must announce that the BenBow Inn resteraunt & tavern on Admiral St in West Seattle has officially been sold and will not be reopened to it's former glory. This wonderful place was a favorurite dive of mine. The interior was done up just as a ship and most of the regulars looked more like pirates than I think they realized. It was truly one of the most unique little pub and grubs I have ever had the pleasure of sticking to a booth in. I am most deeply saddened at all my fellow pirate lovers and all the pirates out there who will never experience it. It has been sold and is being gutted to make way for a new Pan …

Ok, I'm writin a story about five teens that find a necklace in a cave which contains three old pirate ships. It sends them to a deserted island in the early 18th century where they see the three pirate ships being careened. They go onboard and become cabinboys/girls. (two boys and three girls) There is another pirate crew that act as their rivals. That's about all I have for the plot right now. Any feedback and/or ideas?

Not meanin' to gather me any replies hereabouts, but iffin' ye have a few odd moments, ye might be wantin' to think about... Do ye REALLY think ye would have been able to survive as a pyrate in the Golden Age? Without the auto-mobiles, the air-conditionin', the cable-Tee-Vee and such... With the infestations...the rats...the mutinies...the loneliness... With the REAL fights, not the ones that be foisted up'n us by them Holly-wude peoples... Ye'd be livin' large, an' no mistake, but ye'd also be livin' hard. Could ye cut the mustard?
