   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!!

   Was Robinson Crusoe really a bloodthirsty pirate? (What other kind is there?) Check out the Discovery Channel Sunday 10/5 for details, or check for repeats. Oh, I forgot to mention... Ahrrrrr! There, I feels better now.

    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'?

    1) I want to make a directory of the websites of regular pub-goers only. There are several comprehensive directories, but I think it would be fun to have a directory with this theme. 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. Just use coupon code "Pyracy" ...Insider Hosting is rock solid top notch stuff …

    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?

    I am, well, obscenely well-read. (I'm also well obscenely-read- just finished Fanny Hill, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure) But my (figurative) pirate literature merit badge is far off. Exceptin' the immortal Treasure Island, what is on the absolute must-read, neccessary to leading a truly pirate lifestyle reading list? I find that pirates are few and far between on my bookshelf. Suggestions? Anything vaguely piratical is encouraged!!!! I need something to read!!! The Libidinous, Literature-Lusting Lass, Saucy Kate

    Pyracy Pub is a noncommercial site I do as a hobby. I get a lot of fun out of it, so you don't need to feel any particular obligation. I enjoy running a "virtual pub" and lately I've been promoting one of my other nonprofit projects on here "United Universists" (Check it out if you're a heathen). ...but the bandwidth costs have been going up higher than expected of late, and so I've installed a "donation" button below the logo above, which you can click if and when you're in the mood to donate some coins. It'll just make it a little easier for me and help ensure Pyracy Pub's future growth and success, and prevent me from ever having to install commercial advertising... b…
