The little son of a friend of mine just lost two fingertips at the first knuckle from one hand in an accident. His hand was caught in a bicycle chain. I'm sending out a little "treasure" to him from the pirates. I need quick ideas for fun things to do. I'm going to put his message in a bottle, include a little bag full of treasure coins, I'll try to locate a chest of somesort if I can find something, and the main present is a baseball cap with a skull and crossbones on it that I just got for him. I need quick ideas of extra pirate-like treasures, things like eyepatches or ??? to include. Fire away gang! I need ideas quick!!

Ah well now that my wedding which was Saturday is over.. and the weekend at the SCA event which is was held at is over...and the Monday taken off work to....sleep is over; I'm bbaacckk. Not that anyone knows me from Mother Mary. Must say, it was a hell of a weekend. Okay, now on to the newbie's question...stupid as it may be, I'm curious. :) Movies, media and the like all have pirates talking in the same dialect and accent. My question is, did they really talk like that? Was there actually documentation for pirates of the golden age speaking in the 'pirates dialect'?

Criteria: 20 or more posts and a filled out profile (profile info will be included in the directory too, to make it more personable). If you want your site in this directory and fit this criteria, please post the link and details in this thread! 2) If you need webhosting, the Pub's own host INSIDER HOSTING thinks our Pyracy Pub is so damn cool they're offering all of ye 10% off their already super low prices.

Me fair wenches & I have a performance coming up and we needs some brushin up on our pirate-y lingo. I was thinking of immersion as the only real way to pick it up natural -like. But since going to Tortuga is out of the question, can anyone reccommend a book, movie or the likes for such. I was perhap thinking thar may-be a book from the golden age which may still be available, if not, a fairly resonably authentic movie i could watch o'er & o'er. whatdya think?
