   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?!

    • 2 replies
    • 225 views

    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.

    Eh, I don't seem to be able to find many piratey sorts around abouts me hometown(NSW Australia) Not even enough to fill a 30 ft Yacht, let alone a larger boat of piratey proportions with swashing and buckling and such, so if there be any pirates or pirettes in the area interested in anything from sailing to just kicking around being piratey, let me know.

    Confessions of an Urban Pirate

    • 566 views

    What funny things have happened to you when you were out in public dressed as a pirate? One time, I had to pull into a drive-thru ATM while dressed in my pirate garb and driving my Mitsubishi Eclipse. The Eclipse was very low to the ground and despite my long monkey arms, I couldn't quite reach the buttons on the ATM machine. So I reached over and grabbed the nearest thing from my sword belt, which happened to be my flintlock and started punching the buttons with the muzzle. It was then that I remembered that the ATM have security cameras and here I was, waving a pistol at one of them! I can just imagine that somewhere there was a frantic security guy sounding t…

    I was hoping to find some pirates interested in doing some special events in and around the Lowcountry. I currently work at a company on Hilton Head Island that creates these parties. Anyway I live and breath the pirate folklore,and I'm always looking for friends to join me on roadtrips to pirate fests. It's sad to see that this area, so rich in pirate history, has almost forgotten it's maritime history. Long live the legends of the sea!
