http://www.syfy.com/neverland/ Just caught the new series, Neverland, on the sy fy channel the other day. A very interesting take on how Hook and the pirates ended up in Neverland with Peter Pan. It's worth a gander at, my mates.

Honestly I never thought the leper audience would be that aggressive to require a change in the film for sensitivity. http://entertainment.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/25/10233980-pirates-scene-changed-after-lepers-protest

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/anthony-steele-s-pirate-flag-banned-in-tattershall-for-breaching-adversting-laws.html An autistic seven-year-old boy has been forced to take down a toy pirate flag in his garden - because it breaches advertising rules. Parents Ronnie Ford-Kennedy and Sara Steele put up the skull and crossbones in the back garden of their home in Tattershall, Lincolnshire, for Anthony, who has Asperger's Syndrome - a form of autism.But the couple have been given just 28 days to take down the flag - or face court action. East Lindsey District Council says the flag, erected on a fishing pole in the couple's back garden, needs advertising consent. They were told t…

I looked through the topics,(I thought we already had one) looking for a place to post interesting Steamy stuff that we've found.

Man dressed as Depp's Jack Sparrow pepper-sprayed LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police say several people dressed as movie characters on Hollywood Boulevard got into a brawl that ended with a man dressed as "Pirates of the Caribbean" character Capt. Jack Sparrow being pepper-sprayed. Officer Rosario Herrera says it's unclear why the Sparrow character, made famous in the movies by Johnny Depp, got into a fight with people dressed as Catwoman and an alien in front of the Kodak Theatre Thursday evening. Officers responded to a call that there was a disturbance on the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard known to host costumed characters who hustle tourists for a few bucks in exchange for …

I found this one on the 'bay and gave it a try. I'll give it a One Cutlass Up. On 'bay the cover art was too small to realize that it's our own Cascabel who also does some cameo appearances. I now realize why Cascabel is attempting to cut her throat on the cover art ... "This is a great town for shopping!" Jas. Hook

Got me a new little game for Christmas. I must admit that, after taking a couple of cruises, I've got me a liking for slot machines, and there's plenty of computer games to that effect. I got one for Xmas, called "Blackbeard's Revenge". Many of the slots on it are pirate oriented...how can you go wrong with "Blackbeard's Pirate Gameshow"? For those curious, here's a link... http://www.phantomefx.com/games/view/7 A downside to the game is that any doubloons ye win are only virtual doubloons, which will buy ye virtually...nothing. Scupper me hide!

YES! The rumors are true. The Pyrates Way will be going GREEN as of Jan. 1, offering an online, downloadable, e-book version of our magazine for FREE beginning with Issue #14. However, a full-printed paper version will be mailed to paid subscribers and all subscriptions will be fulfilled with the printed version. We will also offer one back issue in the Green version every month through 2012. The magazine will NEVER be late again! (at least the green version) This will be a huge boon to advertisers as every ad in the magazine will link directly to their website. Readers can look at the mag in one window and check out all your cool offerings in another. The power of co…

Anyone have experience with some of the Hammer Films of the swashbuckler genre? I speak of the films like The Pirates of Blood River, Captain Cleeg/ Night Creatures, The Scarlet Blade, Crossed Swords and the Devil Ship Pirates... Can you give your opinion of any of these films?

I know that uncoated brass will tarnish in time but I purchased a few Steampunk findings and wanted to age them before attaching them to my hat and eye patch. I considered a black ink wash. Other ideas using house hold products?

I'm going to shameless introduce my book, The Bryant Family Chronicles: Death and Gold in Zara Zote. The book has multiple storylines -- one in the present and one in 1715. It's not your typical pirates and a treasure hunt story. Its got lots of great reviews and is a 2011 winner in the Readers Favorite Awards. You can find out more at the website: www.deepseapublishing.com. I'm working on Book 2 and Book 3 now. I'm actively looking for material for these books. I look for Pirate legends and mysteries to weave into the storylines. This site looks like a good source for characters as well. I'm excited about this site find and look forward to going to some o…

Well, who knew Gilbert and Sullivan were writing music back in the good old days of 1718. Came across this little ditty on youtube, part of the "Horrible Histories" series, which we don't get down here, and why not share the booty? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlOEl5tCi1M

There are lots of reasons a good movie won't be successful, wether for bad reviews, or poor box office numbers, maybe both. But some pirate movies were really good and don't have a good reason as to why they failed. Prime examples and personal opinion: Cutthroat Island and Treasure Planet. Thoughts anyone?

Hey, I saw the new action figs for POTC4 in Wally World yesterday. They have large scale (about 8" I'd guess) and small (about 3"). The large figures looked pretty nice - Jack, Gibbs, Blackbeard, Barbossa and Angelica. I picked up Gibbs as he was the best of the lot IMO. (Barbossa has a truly odd-looking hat that actually made me laugh when I saw it.) The little figures had some sort of feature where if you got them wet or something the faces turned white and ghostly-looking. I forget what they called it. There were also some mini-packs with a figure and several large accessories. I believe there were 2 different kinds: one with blackbeard and two cannon and another wit…

A while ago I took note that there are wikis for such piratical things as the One Piece Manga, Pirates of the Burning Sea and Pirates of the Caribbean Online MMORPGs as well as the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but no Wikia for the subject of Pyracy itself, so I took it upon myself to start building a pirate wikia for all things piratical. Unfortunatly, I don't have the time or expertise to make the wikia everything I hoped it could be. I don't have enough computer savvy contributers as well. As a result, the wiki is only worked on when I have time to spare and reference materials at hand. I am therefore asking anyone who considers themselves a pirate scholar to…
