But now I'm trying their barbardos rum and it's like... like... well, it's like getting kicked in the teeth by a sulty Spanish tavern wench wearing nothing but a solid gold boot. Danm, this is fine rum@@@. er, !!!

   So help me decide this great problem... I do reinactments. I like history. I am not a history buff or historian, or whatnot. Just a regular joe who likes piracy. Now I'm a member of a pirate crewe that does live-steel combat. And we just got invited to the Sail Jax (a piratey / tall shippy event). (Supposedly some loser named Depp is going to be running around dressed as a pirate named Jimmy Pigeon or something) Anyway, we get slammed with all these rules from the historical groups. *Not from the Sail Jax folks* That say... History over Hollywood. Everything nice and proper, which I usually don't mind. Really. But no coats? I'm rambling here... must be t…

    Actually just sailing I got a sponsorship to go on the Leeuwin!! (if you have no clue as to what that is, go here: www.leeuwin.com ) It's a twelve-day voyage from Dampier to Exmouth both of which are in WA, and we're going through the Ningaloo reef (the not-quite-as-famous-a-the-great-barrier-reef-but-still-pretty-famous Australian reef.) woot! I get to be a real pirate (I thought of inciting the crew to mutiny and sailing to the Caribbean, but then I realised I'd get caught ridiculously quickly what with these newfangled engine-powered boat and men with guns, so I figure I'll be polite) It's in June-July I haven't been in here for ages! Sorry everyone, I'll tr…

    Pirates illegally join Kinderparade in Holland

    • 544 views

    This is just too good: Pirates illegally join Kinderparade in Holland It seems a bunch of teenagers, members of the "American Pirate Association", dressed up as pirates and crashed a parade earlier this month. I did some digging for other stories on this, and it gets even better. It seems they were pulled from the parade by the police and fined $100 apiece for entering the parade without a permit. To pay it off they held a carwash, making enough to pay their fines with cash to spare. So they used the excess to buy a brick for the new, underconstruction police precinct - which will be etched with their name, "The American Pirate Association" for all time! Now THAT i…
