Hawk the QM

I have to admit that I missed New Orleans more than I thought I would. Perhaps I will make it out again next year. Not sure.

Don't worry Matt, there's plenty of ways to get hammered with pirates for much cheaper. lol

I dunno how safe your thread is but it has gotten a little fewer hits than "is it kinky" and thats been there about a week. perhaps a nice moderator will bury your treasure thread for you ! LOL!

DELETE DELETE! No it's probably just the 5 of us constantly checking the updates hehe. Besides, whats more kinky then a gypsy skirt thingy?

lol... I'd even go so far to make Pyracy.com member logo (with permission from pub owners first of course) or at least an option for something else fun.

Be care of the Wave thing....it's the Corporate Logo To Mercury Marine Power Motors...as long as the graphic is "public" ...it won't be a problem....

I'm pretty sure it's a public symbol. It seems to come from the makes of HoloKate which is a company that offers the marking to all ID printer companies.

I'm finding some pretty good deals, I must say. Right now it looks like I can have full color plastic IDs and mark them at about 10-15 dollars a piece to the public.

I just don't want to jump the gun. I really want a quality piece to sell before I start offering. I'll check out some royalty free pictures for a background and figure out a few other things. Yaaaar

I like the last hologram image..sort of Global..*Grins* and indeed..definitely need address..perhaps something in Longitude and Latitude?

Ahhh another good idea. Ya, I would be torn between the globe and the water waves. Both seem pirate appropriate and from what I see, the machine is rather simple to switch.

Well...what we need to do is establish what exactly would be on these I.Ds.

The basics are there....Name, Residence, date of birth (real or fictious)...A photo of your pyratical self.

I think a list of your 'trade' would be on the card as well..."Sea Wrangler" or something along those lines.

Exactly what I was thinking. For the address it could be whatever anyone wants or a default of "1 Secret Cove Island, Unknown 00000". lol

I'm not even talking about a crap piece of printed paper laminated. Nay, I'm talking just like a drivers license, plastic back with dual sided printing with the pyrate rules on the back lol.

Full color with a neat background and even a YAAAAR watermarking or something haha.

I'm running with this idea and just shopping around. Sure.. it's a completely random idea but hey.. that's business.

edit:

the best part is this whole discussion is under the radar as most people don't care what I would think about "Gypsy skirt thingy" and have already passed over. mwuhahaha only you special pyrates know whats going on here.

edit2:

The holo designs aren't all that spiffy looking but it would still make it look more quality for the purchase.

As the great Bilgemunky once told me. "It's not piratey of you to buy one... it's just piratey of me to try and sell you one."

I think I already have the tag line lol.

So would ninjas trying to get into pirate events have fake pirate ids? :angry:

Not with one of my security IDs. The fakes would be spotted and the ninja shot on site.

Offers rum to make the idea grow faster

Cannibal already pushed me.. seriously, I'm online right now looking at printers and services lol. I'm also really into small home businesses so it may work to my advantage. lol

Start a thread about snotty dancers, end up the sole distributor of the first Official Pyrate License. I love this place!

Shhhhh I smell and (ID)ea growing. :angry:

im third in line..That sounds like a Grand idea!!!

lol I'll get cracking then. :angry:

Someone should have pulled my pirate card lol.

Pull your Pirate Card?? We get cards?! What the h*ll!?? Where and when were we issued these 'said cards?"

Hmm..damn red tape...I bet mine somewhere between here and Key West!

It's kind of like a drivers license, except its a license for the seas. In order to actually be a pirate you must be holding said Pirate Card. In the event that anyone does something considered UN-Pirate that card must be surrendered upon demand of any other Card carrier. The card must be returned once a piratey act that is deemed worthy enough to make up for or a lesson be learned if there is a lack of pirate ventures.

these cards also have an alphanumeric coding that limits ones ability. From rum runner to city sacker as issued by the BBB (better buccaneering bureau)

Maybe I should just photoshop some of them for the whole pub lol.

I feel like such a terrible pirate. I mean here I am worried about de-skirting a lass =(

Someone should have pulled my pirate card lol.

awww I love all you pirates. These are all good responses and one really funny PM response that was too dirty for public eyes. Hehe but shhhh I can't tell.

edit:

I can say that the PM caused me to blow coffee on my monitor. Sepia tone for the win.

Thanks fer the kind words, Q. But "fight'nest"? Did I get into a drunken brawl I forgot about? If so it must have been Friday night. That would explain the bruises, I suppose. Still, thought I'd have remembered. Did I win?

You fought the greatest scourge of the seas, the flu. You actually did win, you won the hearts of all the lasses at the bar. Then you pulled out your pistols and scarred them off. After that I thought you were beating up a puppy but turns out it was just a huge stinking New Orleans rat with a hand grenade. yaaar

What's sad is I work for a bunch of lawyers and guess what.... all of this is true. (why isn't there a crying emote?)

You could have given a sharp slap to the arse and told her to get over it.

Aaaah you made me laugh on that one.

Welcome Back QM!

Yaaaar thanx buddy.

edit:

Oh hey.. cheers to Bilge, the fight'nest, drunk'nest, hungoverest pirate of us all. Yet there he was, morning to morning in the middle of everything. Good show man.

With that being said, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. As as I stated before, if she couldn't take a single moment to listen to you and your kind words of apology...it's her lost...not yours.

At least she got her Christmas goose early this year.. yaaaar

Thequartermaster,

Though I am sure Kate, Brig and/or Mae would be better to answer your belly dancer skirt question, let me just put in my two cents....

Keep in mind you were at a CON, which pretty much means pirate festivities and social drinking. Perhaps the woman wearing the Middle Eastern themed attire was greatly under the influence when this mishap occurred.

I am sure if she just gave you 30 seconds of your time she would have accepted your apology. People get stupid ...especially when they drink.

I don't think there should be any kind of "norm" with really any kind of pirate themed event. I really like that there are all types of faces (characters) and I don't want anyone to think I'm making fun of them. There were even vampire pirates at the con and I thought it was pretty cool.

I'm sure you're right and who knows, she may have been grabbed in the wrong way many times throughout her stay. Its just that if I had a hat that was six feet wide, I wouldnt be annoyed when people bumped into it lol.

I think it was one of the little hooks or whatever attaches the coin to the netting that did the catching. Either way... I felt dirty and ashamed, which is hard to achieve while intoxicated. =)

I have a question for the ladies that wear these gypsy "skirts" thingies with the dangling coins on them. Now those things have to catch just about every piece of cloth that gets near them so I'm asking if you all understand this.

This weekend at the con I was in the main bar during a pirates charles set. Many pirates were packed into the place and dancing was plentiful, mostly by ladies wearing this gypsy attire. I squeeze by one lady and my vest got caught on a coin and pulled the lady back toward me as we walked in opposite directions. She shot me the dirtiest, meanest look I have seen in a long time and had this disgusted look on her face. When I tried to explain quickly over loud music that I was caught on her skirt and not trying to be a dirty pirate the..... (starts with a B ) spun around like I was just the scum of the earth.

Now I know this has to happen all the time, but do all you ladies immediately think there's some nasty guy just trying to pull you close for snuggle times or something? I felt kinda bad about it but what was a drunk pirate to do?

Is anyone from the pub still friggin hung over from the week/end? That was an insane gathering and I hope yall had at least half as much fun as I did. Who would have thought that it is still possible to be hung over 3 days later. lol.

Yaaaaaar btw I missed you mates at the pub. =)

EDIT:

Oh and also btw, please excuse my crabbiness of late. Turns out I just need some stiff drinks and a vacation. Cheers

"I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, " Shenanigans."

I love Super Troopers.

Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy $%*t on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

lol im glad someone picked up on it =)

Pirates are already motivated.

I think Thequartermaster has something there...

When I talk like a child...I am a child...

This is what I mean:

Thequartermaster mentioned...'say kitty' well nomally most adults would say cat or kitten when talking...but there is something very child like in the use of certain words...

I still say Bunny...when I mean rabbit...Bunny....Bunny....Bunny....Bunny....Bunny....Bunny....

There is something very liberating about that word to me....

Hmmm...Could it be the new avatar?

if you don't smile at this......you have no soul lol

I think it's kind of sad for some people who grow up and forget the wonder of being a kid. I hope I never lose that magic....

It's like a check list, really.

1. Giggle at farts

2. See something in clouds

3. Call someone a butthead at least once a day

4. Look really stupid when you see a puppy or kitty

5. Say the word kitty

It really is that simple.

Please add you can think of more.

Geez what happened to a little magic now and then?

Disney bought all the magic and now we have to pay royalties. We are still chalk full of shenanigans though. Eeeevil shenanigans.
