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...

I know this guy, he's a young kid who has talent, like you wouldn't believe :) He made me this, (He always calls me Barbossa instead of Barbossas Pearl), it's so cute :) Mind you, it's nothing like other stuff he made, some of it is WONDERFUL! I don't know if he'd like me to show other stuff so, but i love this too. Cute artwork

"I be a moderne Pirate, but me troubles begin out o' the blue when I feel me kin callin' me from beyond the sands o' tyme. I find meself wishin' I cud help 'em thru the troubles they had, and I find meself wishin'...they wud jes pluck me up from a traffic jam..an' plunk me back a century or two...so's we can have some closeness. Wryters think about these things....one leg in moderne tymes..and the other leg way back...somehow..maybe connected thru a common emotional state o' mind.

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 …

Take this test to see how much you have had to drink in your legal life. Drinkometer or how not to buy a boat. then see how much money you spent by bending your elbow.

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…
