   I'm working on a story line and am looking for a little help in melding the idea of a tattoo on my back that is actually one half of a treasure map. The other half of the map will be on my beloved Jack's back. The idea is I can read his, he can read mine but we can't read our own. For anyone to get the treasure, the maps must be placed side by side. The location of the treasure can be real or imaginary, but I'd like to use real latitude and longitude lines for the directions. The tattoos can be complex or simple and of course the designer and artist was killed to protect the location of the treasure. Please remember he was a real artist so the tattoos will need to …

    on halloween, i dressed in my finest gear, armed myself to the neck, and went out gallavanting with a few friends... as i am a busty kinda lass, i was becoming quite annoyed with other people staring at my ample bosom uninvited-like, so i would shove me trusty pistol into their throats and make them give me MONEY! people thought i was kidding, and i was NOT. They paid up! the one fellah i deemed worthy of my attentions was scared to hell and back of me, and that made terrorizing him even more fun! i made quite a bit of money that night, and i was a complete hellion. i am sure i gave some folks pitrate nightmares.Nothing like being in a crowd of people, and yelling …

    not only do i want to learn how to sail, i want to learn how to fight like a real pirate! YARRR i have always been more of a lover than a fighter, but it's high time i learned how to use me weapons in case the need arises! well, mostly just so i can fight with cutlasses and knives and such (heheheh) what do i need to know about seeking out a training program? i'm in relatively good shape from being a belly dancer for so long, so that's helpful, but yar, me bones is getting old...(ha!) so, what do i need to know? i am SO not interested in learning pansy fencing. i want sword fighting! YARRR!

    Another use for me spyglass

    So..as some o' ye know, Penny was in Reno this weekend...home of wayward slot machines and everything, apparently, that couldn't fit in Las Vegas.... Anyway..no sea as far as the eye can look, unfortunately. However, piracy was to be had at the Evanescence show on Sunday. Knowing my propensity to end up somewhere with poor viewing of concert goodness, I brought my spyglass with me to the show so I could see a little bit better. I caught myself quite a few odd expressions....and a couple of requests to borrow said spyglass by those nearby :) I believe one of my cohorts that was with me got a picture of me with it...I'll have to have her send me a copy.

    Society for the Unwanted 1 2

    As noted in the "Ren-faire Vs. Re-enactment" thread, the idea of an adult-oriented, neither exclusively fantastic or exclusively historical and pirate-specific organization tailored to the expectations of the members of this site has been suggested, and seemed to garner at least some small element of support. The name "The Society for the Unwanted" has been suggested. I think it's grand name. So, I guess this is a thread were we can see who's interested, what we expect, how to organize and then see if the dang thing will even work.
