I am not sure where to put this. I am hoping to be fairly historically accurate, but it really isn't, as it is not based on any one specific ship. So, here is my (initial and basic) background for my model of a "pirate ship." The model has been discussed on the Pub before. (Now: remember the model, itself, is a 1/96th scale USS Constitution that has converted into a 1/48 scale ship. The deck is modified by removal/not putting on model the top deck in front of the rear mast. Accordingly, it also is only using 1/2 the gun-ports on the model and the gun deck is open topped. So, it will only have 26 minions.) The Thistle was originally laid down to be a privateer in Quee…

The movie is called: Perfume "The Story Of A Murderer" Now before you say anything... 1.) Take a look at the trailers 2.) Check out the wardrobe 3.) Check out the excellent locations Did I mention Alan Rickman, Dustin Hoffman and Rachel Hurd-Wood??? http://www.perfumemovie.com/ Bottom line... Just go rent it and watch it yourself!

For anybody interested, on Wednesday at 8am and 2pm there will be a 2 hour show on the History Channel titled "The True Pirates of the Caribbean". I don't know if it's new or not but I've already set my Tivo to record it... - from their website- "Blackbeard. Anne Bonny. Henry Jennings. Calico Jack. Henry Morgan. Black Bart Roberts. During the mid to late 17th and early 18th centuries, they were feared criminals. The Caribbean was their domain, the parade of treasure and cargo to Europe their target. The origins of Caribbean piracy began when Columbus made landfall in the Bahamas. Two years later, the Pope granted Spain the exclusive right to the Caribbean and most of th…

OK here's where I'll say I could care less that it's wasn't perfectly PC or even PFC. But for about six bucks I picked up the Blackbeard miniseries at Wallyworld.. That's about three hours of pirate Sh-tuff for the price of lunch!! A nice change from Jack Sparrow!

Finally got my Kellogg's POTC projection clock in the mail today! It's pretty cool, and they even give you the two AAA batteries to go in it. It's base is 3 inches by 3 inches, and it's 4 inches tall. When you press down on the skull, the time shines on the wall for about 10 seconds.

Patrick Stewart as Captain Ahab. The worst cinematography and special effects of any recent movie I've seen. It makes the 1953 version '20,000 leagues Under the Sea' look as good and modern as Lucasfilm's greatest achievement.

A bit-post period, but does anyone remember the tale? Tiger feared on the loose Fri Jul 20, 2007 10:33AM EDT BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Police in southwestern France are searching for a big cat, possibly a young tiger, that has been spotted prowling in a village near the city of Bordeaux, the village's mayor said Thursday. Officials from the National Hunting Office have also laid traps for the animal after a woman and her daughter saw it repeatedly in their garden. "At first they didn't believe it, but the third time the animal was 10 meters (yards) away from them," Pierre Soubabere, mayor of Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand, told Reuters. Another resident has seen the …

Hello fellow Pyrates, Last night I was watching CSPAN and they had an interview with the founder of Wikipedia. I had never known how it was started, it was trully interesting. The founder mentioned there are many splinter wikia and since there is none on the topic of Pirates, (perhaps someone here may get one started..hmmm Carricolli comes to mind...lol) they do have a POTC wiki. I thought I would share the link with you to check out or partake in. POTC Wiki

Finally had time to get it together. Mostly dollar store piratey stuff. I did buy one set of the minature figures at the Disney store but they are not to scale to the ships but that's OK. It's for enjoyment purposes and nothing else... If you look closely, you will see honey bees taking swigs of water from the drift wood. It's been dry for weeks and all the creatures are extremely thirsty. My neighbor is a beekeeper and every year we get the most delicious honey. Last year we had purple honey-very sweet!
