Ahoy Mates, There is a free online social simulation game called Second Life for download on the interwebz. From what I've heard it has a rather big Pirate gathering as well as some great looking Pirate scenery and towns. My information is limited as I'm still in the creation phase of my character. Bilge Munky is the DJ for an in-game party that will be happening on Wed. November 19th at 1pm Pacific. He's asked all us Knife Fighters to attend and I'm spreading the word to anyone that does not frequent his website. This (apparently) will only be the first of many events so don't feel bad if you can't make it this upcoming Wed. It's completely free and you get to …

Break Out Th' Guns Lads - This Means WAR!!! Don't Talk Like A Pirate Day! I just found this notice posted in port: (clipit) Microsoft plans on Tuesday to announce “Global Anti-Piracy Day,” an effort to gain attention for the steps the company undertakes in order to thwart those who would engage in th' sweet trade and enjoy festivals while talking like a pirate and drinking gallons of rum. As part of the event, Microsoft is highlighting recent antipiracy efforts in 49 countries, ranging from hangings, floggings, imprisonment, and confiscation of weapons and arms. It’s the kind of thing that Microsoft does all the time, although the company is aiming for some …

I have earlier this day acquired new booty...uh...personal order, thru the library wherein I work. This is the book "Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah", by Barry Clifford. The book is dedicated to John King. It's a children's book, to be sure, so there's little information in here that's new, for those in the know. However, there's some very good illustrations and photos between the covers (altho the audience, or "gloaters", at the pirate trial depicted appear to be more 19th century than early 18th...don't ask me why.) For those curious, here's a link to the Amazon page---> http://www.amazon.com/Real-Pirates-Untold-...8123&sr=1-1

Jewish Pirates If you don't want to go to the link. Here's the article: The Jewish Journal By Adam Wills There's no arrr-guing that pirates are in. As of last weekend, Disney had plundered $1 billion worldwide with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," and International Talk Like a Pirate Day -- that's Sept. 19, for you landlubbers -- has gone from an inside joke between two friends to a mock holiday celebrated in more than 40 countries. Yet tales of Jewish piracy, which stretch back thousands of years, aren't in the public's consciousness, and Hollywood even has been known to remove a pirate's Jewish background. As a result, we're stuck with portrayals o…

Some franchises just don’t know when to quit. Whether or not people are getting sick and tired of the whole Pirates of the Caribbean thing, when a franchise makes that much money, it’s hard to let it die. We’ve been hearing rumblings about a possible fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie for months now, but tonight I got an email from the old friend of the site which not only confirmed a fourth movie will almost certainly be happening, but dropped details on where the series may end up going when it continues. Our source says that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is no longer just a possibility, it’s almost a certainty. More importantly, Johnny Depp is all but assured to retur…

What be my favorite piratical fiction? Why, mateys, that be an easy one. It would be The Pyrates, by George MacDonald Fraser, same guy what wrote the Flashman series of books...and also did the screenplay for the 3/4 Musketeers (the 1975 one with Michael York, Oliver Reed, and Frank Finley). Don't be going into the book looking for historical accuracies...its not that kind of pirate story. But there's heroes, anti-heroes (Irish, at that), evil villains, battles between great towering sea castles, duels, rescues, harrowing escapes, lost jungle cities, and, oh yes...pirates.

Ahoy, everyone! I have a proposition for all poets (and artists) who have not published before but who would like to see if they can make a ducat or two from their poems or artwork. I've recently self-published two books of poetry and am adept at the process it requires. One of the poems is entitled "The Homecoming of Danny Fry." It tells the tale of a young Englishman who goes to sea, becomes a member of a privateer crew (at some point becoming captain), and then, after years of being at sea, he comes home to live out his life in the village where he was born. His first night home he goes back to a friend's pub and spends all night drinking and feasting with his old…

I was browsing through videos at the library when I found this. It had some fairly good background on men like Kidd and the like. The section on Anne Bonney and Mary read was differant in that they where not portayed by the typical hollywood types but by very plain and even homley actresses. The best part was a section that was made up of trailers for Pirate movies from the 40's and 50's, Black Swan, Treasure Island and such. They don't make them like that any more! Morever it seemed that about half of them starred Maureen O'Hara as "The Firey Redhead" who drove men crazy. The Video was not the greatest, a lot of stock footage, but it was worth the price(free).
