Maybe this should be on Pirate Pop, but what little I know about this crew seems to point to the conclusion that pyracy begets art, or vica-versa. So far, I've heard of several fine artists, cartoonists, actors, dancers, singers, punsters, writers, musicians, film industry types, arts & craft folks, etc. bein' on this site. And what I know of the original pyrates, seems to me there was alot of creativity there, and at least above average intelligence as well. Do you think there's a corellation? Are artsy types drawn to Piracy for it's freedom of will, the need to be alittle bad, or what? Just wonderin'. Also, if yer artistically inclined, what do you do? I make period…

Well Blow Me Down! Popeye Turns 75 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Maybe Popeye owes his longevity to all that vitamin-rich spinach. The ``Ugg, ugg, ugg''-ing cartoon sailorman who gets his superior punching power by guzzling greens from a tin can is celebrating his 75th anniversary Saturday. King Features Syndicate, which owns the rights to Popeye, is planning a yearlong series of events to relaunch interest in the pipe-tooting mariner with the outsized forearms, including a new 3-D animated TV special written by ``Mad About You'' comedian Paul Reiser. That special is set for broadcast next holiday season. Meanwhile, this weekend in New York City, the Empire State Building p…

Ahoy Mates! Towards the end of the movie there is a scene where Captain Jack Sparrow (our powder monkey's favorite character) cuts his hand and throws a medallion to Will. Could any of you tell this wench why?

I've been contacted via email by a leader from a Cub Scout pack in Buffalo NY who'd like a pirate (or small group of pirates) to give a talk to the cubs and their families. I'm getting more details as to the specifics, but I'd expect anyone with a decent costume and the ability to share a little pirate lore would be most welcome. Any of you from that area? Or do any of you know any pirates who are? Please let me know - we don't want to leave a bunch of Cubbies pirateless, now do we?

While not strictly piratical or nautical, the British Brown Bess musket dates to the Golden Age of piracy, and they were carried and used aboard ship and by landing parties. I came across this poem by Rudyard Kipling a few days ago. Readin' the last couple of lines makes me choke; but then, I'm weird ******************** BROWN BESS: The Army Musket -- 1700 - 1815. In the days of lace-ruffles, perukes and brocade Brown Bess was a partner whom none could despise-- An out-spoken, flinty-lipped, brazen-faced jade, With a habit of looking men straight in the eyes-- At Blenheim and Ramilles fops would confess They were pierced …

Greetin's all. Let me explain myself. I work for a game developer in Northern California. We are in the earliest stages of proposing a video game for the DVD market. This would be a mixture of live action and CGI. Guess who's in charge of the first proposal? Guess what the theme of the game is? You GUESSED RIGHT! Here's me question...how many of you would be interested in appearing in a game (as actors)? How many would be willing to be costume makers or prop suppliers? Set builders (if yer a Nor Cal local)?...You get the point. I'm sorry, I can't go into too much detail right now...but I needed to see if there was an interest among my pyratical brethren. More inf…

Aye, yes...I know I've been gone from the Pub for awhile, and suspect that will be the case for a another week from the looks of it. Figured I'd take a bit of time and give everyone a run down on the recent events (since I've commandered this notebook and internet connection). As of late, I've been in the process of moving and we should all know what a Port Royal pain in the arse that is. In the mix with that, I have both my personal and work computers due back from their upgrades, in the next day or two. I'm still shaking my head on how that timing worked out. .......and then, there's a business trip (Sweden) I shall be heading out for come next Tuesday. So, if ye don't…

Just now Pyracy Pub reached the 1000 member mark (says 1001 but I'm not counting myself). Welcome Willennium! It's fascinating that your username seems to play on "millineum," which means 1000! Is that just a coincidence?!

There was something I read recently, but with all that's been going on, I can't remember what it was that I read. It was comparing pirates in a way to the old viking warriors, and their methods of brutality, etc. The always showed and talked about the pirates and their swords and guns killing a man, but what did they use or do to the women they came across. Nothing about women was ever mentioned? Or, were there no women around where a pirate would have been? Or perhaps, back then, women were not worthy of being mentioned.
