PiP 2010 Surgeon's Journal

[Mission]

Ok, it's begun! If you want to see it, you have to go through the Surgeon's Journal Facebook Fan page. You will find that here. I will be trying to update it with a new chapter at around noon each day. If the link doesn't work, just search for "Pirate Surgeon" on Facebook and you should be able to see it.

Enjoy!

[Captain Jim]

Or if, like me, you are a Facebook Luddite, you can get there thisaway.

[Mission]

Ok, I will link direct for Captain Jim.

The first chapter is here.

[Captain Jim]

You, sir, are too kind.

[Mission]

Chapter 2 - sorry, but I missed a day. You know...Key West. Now I must go to the fort and gather more material.

[Mission]

Here's Chapter 3! I guess I'll keep posting the chapters as I finish them. They take almost twice as long to do as I had expected, so I am way behind. PM me if you spot errors, as there are bound to be some.

Enjoy!

To whom it may concern, Please supply more large heavy items for auction next year!

Give Mad Pete more props, the map case went for $70 and I love it :) as well as my new Don Maitz and Janny Wurtz art pieces! :)

Thanks for the correction! I will fix it when I get home.

[Capt. Sterling]

Wow... never equated a major migraine with a bout of conviviality before...

[Mission]

Yeah, but I've had migranes and they're not funny. So I modified to be funny. (Actually this is the first I've heard of a reason. I thought you were just napping, waiting for your turn with Poppa.)

[Capt. Sterling]

Ah understood...fire away then

To whom it may concern, Please supply more large heavy items for auction next year!

I may be able to come up with some nice heavy ballast stones

[Mission]

I doubt it. You put them all in my luggage for the trip home.

[Bos'n Cross]

Great as always mission....one thing though.....im sporting a thrum cap in the first picture of me, not a monmouth..........<3

[Mission]

I actually did realize that the next day, but I forgot to go back and change it. Thanks for the reminder. I was working on Chapter 4 last night, but I have a final on Monday which is slowing things up. I promise it'll be finished eventually - hopefully before Christmas. I'll keep updating this and my Facebook fan page as I complete chapters.

At long last, following my root canal, here is the next chapter:

PiP '10 Surgeon's Journal, Chapter 4

[William Brand]

Ok, I happen to know it - it's somewhere on Little Rabbit Key. (Rabbit Key! Camping! Docking! Secret buried fictional pirate histories!)

Um...nuh-uh.

Actually it's true about Sterling and Brand. You really have to understand the history to understand the relationship.

[Mission]

Now don't go taking the gags all serious on me...

[William Brand]

The gag is the history and history is the gag and...and...I don't have any idea what that means.

[Mission]

It was really just a way to work Little Rabbit Key into the narrative and have a little fun with the idea that there is a fictional history between you guys - although that doesn't really come up until the battle on Sunday. But I will mention it then and probably mention Little Rabbit Key again. I never knew it existed until I saw it on a map on T-Shirt in Fast Buck Freddies.

William Brand? William Red Wake? I must admit that this bit confuses me. Aren't they the same people? I figured William Brand was your "I'm not a pirate, I'm just a regular old man about town" name.

[Mission]

Ok, all these corrections are getting to me, so I went back and added notes to explain that some things were wrong or missing or whatever. (I've gotten corrections and suggestions via the Facebook Fan page, here, pms and emails. Someone should send me corrections via snail mail so my life will be complete.) To make SURE I got them right, you can go back and re-read the whole journal. (If you're going to punish me, I'm going to punish you. )

[Bos'n Cross]

how did you get THE ONLY BLACK GUY confused with captain sterling.......i suppose its because my clothes are so fly , you thought it had to be sterling!.....yup.....lol <3

[Silkie McDonough]

Mission, I wold like it noted that I sent not one correction. I appreciate your effort ...errors and all.

[Mission]

Thanks Silkie.

I hope you guys realize this is all in fun. I actually appreciate corrections because I can add them in and when I forget who someone I only see at this event is or what those weird brass twisty things are, I can refer back to my journals. (However, please understand that it's all tongue-in-check and I will go way off the reservation to insert a gag that I find funny. YOU may not find it funny, but I arrogantly write them to amuse myself first. )
