I followed Captain Luigi's homepage link from his profile and it looks like they have a right foul and respectable crew. the website was a lot o fun too-great opening animation,although the music comes on a bit to loud for those of us who hit the grog a little much the night before. www.westcoastmutineers.com

I'm from portland,oregon right across the border of washington. I may be female,but couldn't exactly be decsribed as a wench I'm a mean,nasty,blackhearted,throat slittin,cannon shootin....well..I think maybe I be takin my self a little too seriously,but I'm a pirate and that's serious fun...er..I mean business-hehe-ooops ---aaarrrrgggghhhh!!! Capt Weaver

redhand, I'll agree with ya that powell's is a truly incredible place-if you can't find it there,they will try and get it for you.their rare book section is also excellent.

booga, thanx for the heads up-I'll hafta reread it with that in mind Capt Weaver

Christaline, theres always lots to learn here.check out the main page and don't foget all the great links and the webring. welcome aboard! Capt Weaver

how could I have forgotten 'treasure planet' I gave meself a good thunk on the forhead

there are so many factors that could lead to the perfect pirate.first of all they must have a sociopathic personality to disreguard the feelings and the normal moral convictions that most people have-then a high intelligence would be very helpful because the perfect pirate would need to be able to master the intricacies of sailing and navigation as well as being able to manipulate others into seeing things thier way-natural charisma is a very good thing-of course you gotta be able to hold yer grog. Capt Weaver

nothin like the the finger ta bring a smile to me face. thanx coastie cute music on that link

the two cannons we use are both home made by my father who was a machinist.the small one is about .38 cal and the large one measures 1 1/4"(don't know the caliber as we don't fire live ammo in it)they both are very loud,but I was able to be nice and close to a swivel gun,that looked like it could have fired a raquetball-the sound was so loud that I cannot see anybody being able to hear after a season spent fireing it without ear protection.the concussion alone was incredible-when it fired,it caused my eyeballs to compress and it felt like someone had hit me in the chest with a wiffel bat.definately must be experienced Capt Weaver

I tend to like the red flags,but as far as designs go it hasta be Emmanuel Wynne's flag;square shape with a skull with the cross bones behind the skull and an hourglass unerneath.simple and to the point

carbide is to black powder as; lady fingers are to m-80s as; .22 bullets are to .48 bullets

where and when is said contraband days?

Capt. William, do tell us the name of this book-though many a pirate may say they have no need fer letters,I am not one of em. Capt Weaver

leatherman's tool

its fixed my apparently slow and antique computer-I can scroll now with no lag whatsoever. me not knowing a lot about computers hadn't realized that the moving logo was what was causing my problem. thanx for fixin it and bringing this little bit of techno knowledge to my attention. Capt Weaver

anyone play the ccg (collectible card game) '7th sea'? the pictures I've seen of it lead me to believe it is predominantly piratical-it is an alternate reality game based in 1668,so says the ad-the adventures take place on ships at sea and magic is a reality here. if anyone has played it,I would like to get yer opinion. I've read that it isn't being printed anymore,but ebay has lots of em. thanx, Capt Weaver

thanks for the info-you are right lucky to have such a great opportunity close to home. I hope you will tell us all about your experiences-would love to hear any and all of what you do and see. Capt Weaver
