Happy Birthday Syren!

My puncture wounds have healed so you can poke me with yer Trident agin' as a Special B'day gift fer ya.

The extra cherries are on the Treasue ship headin' fer Galveston Bay, if ya can't get ta Galveston, make sail for Corpus Christi it'll be there a few days later.

If ya miss Corpus, try the old Balinese Ballroom out on Padre Island, if ya don't get the cherries you can at least party like it's 1699 ... o' course a young one such as yerself may not remember that.

Callenish!

Leave it ta a former Guvment employee ta know all 'bout lollygaggin'!

If'n yer in need o' some sh....tuff call me I think ye gots me number .... if ya need a refresher PM or e-mail me and I'll give it to ya agin'.

I'd like to talk wit' ye ... the big Mouse is keepin' me busy as a one armed paper hanger.

Later,

ditto #1

What will you Celebrate this Year?

Your Magical Birthday!!!

Have a Magical Birthday!

From the east coast cheese factory!

New stuff has superseded this old stuff!

Hope all is well, and will continue to improve.

Animal,

I for one am not very happy wit' ye! Who am I gonna come and bother when I've got time to kill in Orlando! Dangit man!

Oh, well I'll guess I'll just have to live with it!

(Sarcastically) I gotta go do what's best ..... yeah, yeah, yeah ..... blah , blah, blah......

Hey wait, I saw how hard you worked down there, (Sarcastic again), think there'll be an opening? The lady You intorduced me to seemed like she liked me.

Yeah go to Va, do what's best, I'll see if I an keep your parkin' spot from coolin' off!

Seriously, it does sound like it's best, good luck to Susi, oh, and you too!

So many B-days!

Have a Happy One, mate.

He lives in Central Florida .... the Happiest Place on this planet!

Ergo, his Birthday can't help but be Happy ...... besides that he's married to 1 of the twins!!

Go boy, it's yer birthday!!!

Aye!

Me name be Jim ... the business was started by a man named John. Started in the '60's (1960's not 1660's).

60's, 70's, 80's, 90's he and Nancy ran "Old Sutler John" ... albeit 150 or so years in the future (huh?) ...... early this decade he passed away, a couple years later I met his widow, we hit it off (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). After his passing she kept the biz going, we kept the name of the business, I kept mine, seemed easier that way .... turns out to have been quite confusing ...... but it's been great fun!

In a nutshell, call me what you want, please don't call me late to dinner! Been hanging 'round the Bone Islanders enough now that I'm beginning to have Multiple Personality Disorder. Sutlerjon, Evil Sutler Jim, Jim ..... now thanks to Mr. Tignor "Suggestive" Sutler Jim ... the list goes on.

Just call me and order lots o' stuff fer yer camp! (There's the self promoter part)

Mr. Tignor .... It's not "dirty" it's merely "suggestive".

Or .... (for those of you a couple years older) "You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay or you can call me RayJay" (that's all the bit I remember) just please don't call me >insert feminine denominator here< ..... jus' tryin' ta be "PC".

Also, to quote Debbie Harry "Call me .... " another reference fer the more seasoned citizens here in the Pub!

Endnote, this is one my "complicated" pleasures ... telling this story!

>chuckling, amusedly<

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

You look your sister ....

An' she looks like you ....

too!

But you thought it was gonna be exactly the same ....

but this was cisternal message ..... not fraternal .... (that would be for boys, obviously y'all ain't boys!)

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

You look your sister ....

An' she looks like you ....

two!

Check both of the messages ......

this one and Brig's

Methinks Cap'n Sterling may have tied at least one of them too tight ...... look what happened to his eye!

Took all the "mystery" out of the neck cloth too, ........................... didn't ye!

Taking an innocent statement made by an unsuspecting person and twisting it, to wring every bit of humor from it, and enjoying the laughter it evokes.

ALWAYS, doing it in a spirit of fun.

Happy anniversary mate! May you never be released from your bonds....and remain a slave to the misses....forever lol

BONDAGE! ALLLRIGHT!

You lucky, lucky couple!

Thanks fer the drink!

Throw the "safe word" out the window tonight!

But seriously ...... Congrats to you both!

Mr Hawkins,

The tavern is inside the fort, in one the casemates.

There were a couple of food vendors in the fort.

Unless something changes this year, we are allowed to camp in our tents. We can cook our food in the fort, as I recall there were a few well protected open fires in the fort last year.

I personally don't like open fires on sutler row, for obvious safety reasons. Not everyone will be 100% safe all the time. That's why when I prepare food on the row I use a propane camp stove, that I keep out of sight when open for business.

That is my 2 cents from personal experience, I will defer to Capt. Hurricane's advice on this, Capt. Spike should be consulted so as to get the info from the "Horse's Mouth" (?) .......... so to speak

To get a better idea of the parade ground layout, I would suggest, as did Mission, that you refer to the photos in his link a few posts back.

Even when we do CW days in Feb. the re-enactors camp on the beach and we as sutlers are closer to the fort.

Bo, do not be ashamed of carrying that haversack. We MEN of the Victorian era were all a bit more in touch with our sensitivities an' feelins' .......

I'll dig up my tapestry bag and post a pic .....

When hell freezes over!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Feelin's an' sensitivities ..... HUMBUG!

Don't let 'im fool ya Bo, Callenish wants it fer hisself!

Thank you for the compliment Mr. Tignor.

Your enthusiasm is contagious .........

Thank the Lord it's not the flu!

Lookin' forward to hearing from you soon .... I'm makin' a bigger bag for the snapsack you like so much!!! >hint, hint<

All this talk of bathing and such foppery, you all must be friends of Dutch ....

With all the alcohol we'll be plenty disinfected.

Nobody'll notice the smell ......

Bathin'? At an event? Splish, Splash? ...... none for me thanks ..... I'M DRIVIN'.

A bath won't make it any easier to remember the combination to the lock on the gate.

Those are cool.

These are still available.

bump

I'm still makin' these.

Ahoy! Cap't Spike,

I stands by me spellin' !! an' I have know control over what the soothsayin', prognostications of the tea leaves and Rum say about the behaviour of yer descendants!. I can only report what I see in me visions of the future.

I'll kindly thank ye to be leavin' me arse outta this. From the sounds of it ya be wantin' ta ink me up like yer fellow crewmate Nigel.

Speakin' o' the wretch, I needs to be in contact wit' him regardin' apiece o' the gear yew was so kind ta compliment. If ye'll check your PM I'll send sumptin that I saw in a vivid nightmare that included your descendants and the re association wit' another tyrannical wanna be "King" ...... ain't pretty ....... you or the vision!!
