Just curious of what the average pirate might be carrying on him at any given time. Like working knife, marlin spike, tobacco, pipe, matches? any thing like that.

Yes, I know: anything (and anyone) they wanted to! But seriously, mates: during the Golden Age (I use the term in a broad sense: 1680 - 1730), did briar pipes exist? I know they had clay ones; reed-stemmed clay pipes came in around 1750, if I recall correctly. Cigarettes didn't exist in this era. (Cigarettes are nasty, and BORING, anyway!) How about cigars? Does anyone have any evidence of pirates smoking "stronger stuff"? Capt. William

I just read Hawkyns' post on another forum (SCA-Nautical - heartily recommended for anything nautical pre-17th century) about his 16th century kit, and it set me a-thinkin'... ...what era pirate are ye, and what sort of kit, or gear, do ye use fer yer impression? I mean, the whole shebang; weapons, working knives, hats, frock coats, tents, shirts, smoking items, bottles, lamps, pocket watches, quill pens, belaying pins, etc. Also, do you consider yourself primarily an historically authentic reenactor with a pirate persona? Or are you primarily a free-form pirate? To start the discussion: I'm a newbie, so don't have much stuff yet. I've got me sights set on being prima…

In case you haven't seen this ......... The Third Infantry Regiment at Fort Myer has the responsibility for providing ceremonial units and honor guards for state occasions, White House social functions, public celebrations and interments at Arlington National Cemetery....and standing a very formal sentry watch at the Tombs of the Unknowns. The public is familiar with the precision of what is called "walking post" at the Tombs. There are roped off galleries where visitors can form to observe the troopers and their measured step and almost mechanical silent rifle shoulder changes. They are relieved every hour in a very formal drill that has to be seen to believe. S…

I rolled in late last night. I opted for one of my buddies to meet me in Baltimore and drive the 3 hours to get ot Newport News instead of flying, with 3 layovers, and taking 7 hours to travel to the same destination. Did I mention I was also spared a night over in Charleston with my 5 year old too. Anyway I opted ask my buddy to drive 3 hours to get me and everything worked out fine and I arrived a day early. Anyway, I'll post more as soon as I catch up on my e-mail.

Now I know most of you swabs are die-hard pirate fanatics, I also I know ye know yer stuff - so I figured I'd have a good deal more trying their hands at me Pirate Trivia Contest, located at Bilgemunky.com. SO... To sweeten the pot I've made two significant changes (as well as giving my site a much needed face-lift. Growing pains, ye know). First - I added an extra CD to the grand prize pot, and also changed the rules so that you don't necessarily have to answer ALL the questions correctly to win the grand prize. and Second - I've added not one, but TWO not-so-grand prize packages, so even if'n yer not THE winner, you can still win somethin' fun. C'mon ye barnicles …

Aye, I'm hopeful of importuning the irrepressible and erudite Captain Barquentine to share the verbage of his many travels and tautomological skills with those of us who be not so gifted by nature in expressing ourselves in a manner so abundantly scurrilious.....but e' seems pre-occupied lately with press'n health matters (an' we all know nothin be more important than yer health after plunder......rum..........ale................companionship...........anyway..... .....).

The Color of Courage One day, a pirate ship is cruising the seas off the coast of England when the scout yells, “There's an English ship on the horizon.” Immediately, the crew looks to the captain, who valiantly says, “Bring me my red shirt.” The captain dons the shirt and the British ship commences the attack. The captain and his men fight valiantly and crush the British attackers. A few days later, the scout yells, “There are three English ships on the horizon.” Immediately, the crew looks to the captain, and again he says (in his most manly voice), “Bring me my red shirt.” Again, the English ships begin their attack and the pirates fight off all three of the attack…

Avast ye maties, but I've spent a few pieces at a mighty website known as Teach's Hole in NC. The place, dedicated to one Blackbeard himself, sounds like a great Pirate shop and me thinks there be more there like an exhibit for the notorious one. Has any of ye dropped anchor at Teach's Hole? How mighty be the place?

A little while back I was informed of the need for someone I know to place a kitty in a new home. At first, I had to say no, for a variety of reasons, the least of which being certain people's necessity to have two black Persians if we had anything at all. Feh. However, some changes in the winds for the Penny have made it to where I can hopefully open my home to this wee beastie in the not-too-far future. YAY! From what I understand, said feline is an orange tabby, and has been addressed in the male gender. I need to talk to the person who told me about him before I can get any extra info. It's been over three years since I've had a kitty, and this little critter c…
