   It's probably nothing with compared to what most of you have, but to me this is a very cool little shelf of goodies On the left is a row of old 18th and 17th century houses, excisting ones, wich we could colect a couple of years back in a store overhere. In the middle a very insignificiant but since i cannot afford more, to me just fine model of the Bounty. Just right in front of the ship, an Universal equinoctal dial ring. And on the full right, my treasure chest , a little more to the right is a Pirate figure, complete with Jack Sparrow hat, beard, eye patch and a wooden leg. Quite a handsome bloke If you take a better look on the ship, on the left of the ship…

    No, I didn't fall over the side of the Royaliste when no one was looking. No, the ground didn't open up and swallow me whole (though who knows who needs recruits, an' I'm told I'm a wee devil when I wish to be..). No, Lucky Penny isn't dead. I just got commandeered by my sewing machine again. Everyone say "Now how wasn' I surprised!" The other thing that makes it a pain as well..for some reason there is somethin' on th' board (the ads I'm thinking, but it's hard to say) that doesn't let the board load when I am at work. Therefore, the time when I would be most likely to be proddin' at th' board, I can't because it won't load for me. Therefore, I can't even think of l…

    We sail by night and trade by stars light just beyond the three mile tide we have boxes and crates filled with what men crave ..Whiskey, Rum and Rye... The law does chase us and watches our moves but we can slip them if we try and fill our pockets with gold and loot ..Whiskey, Rum and Rye... For every speakeasy and bordello you see each of them started by a few old salts who know the sea and ..Whiskey, Rum and Rye... As we sail home our boat is much lighter but our pockets are full and we sigh for each of us here remembered to keep a little ..Whiskey, Rum and Rye...

    Modern Day Pyratical Professions

    June 28, 2004 by darkthing

    • 8 replies
    • 326 views

    So, I've been thinking. As a pyrate in this modern mechanized world, what sort of professions are available that fit the pyratical temperament? The old lawbreaking methods are too easy to get caught at in this age of digital security. So far the best I've thought of is a stock market trader. Unlike normal investors who fund the growth of corporations via long-term investments, day-traders make money off the ebb and flow of money into and out of the stock market. The successful ones "steal" money from the big corporations, and perform no useful service other than "balancing the market". Who else skims profit off of the rich without giving anything in return?

    With pick and shovel we started to dig for treasure buried neath the sand was hid When just a mere three feet down we hit a row of logs well set in carved in the wood were words of fear warnings and curses to not go near With backs set to it we dug them out and started to dig with a hunters shout for hunters we were, daring and bold searching for buried jewels and gold Suddenly as six feet told we came upon some bones of old covered in mud, mire and disease but something else did our eyes see Around ones neck a sign was hung with words forwarning that death would come To any and all who dug, it said That a curse upon his grave is laid We all took pause …
