Googling that and surfing through a few of their product photo pages, I noticed some of her. (Although that is a seriously crappy pic - you should lighten it up in a photo editing prog.) So if you want to paper your wall or something, check out the Brute Force Leather website.

"I'm on the Brute Squad."

"You are the Brute Squad!"

that's the first place I visited after Callenish identified her, yes, I got the pics of her they had

in a ummm completely non-stalkerish and well intentioned way... *blush*

That's Val from Brute Force Leather; She's a wonderful friend and fills out a bodice/corset quite nicely.... I will see her in a few weeks at the PA Ren-faire. I don't have any pics of her in the past couple of years. Good luck on your quest!

ooo.. ahh.. eeehhh... well *ahem* tell Miss Val that she's quite lovely and ummm... I mean that in the most ahhh... respectful and opposite of indecent way possible.

*runs*

I found a pic of this fine wench whilst cruising the net and now I can't find it again. I know she attended Dragoncon 2006 because there's a few more of her from that event.

this is her

The pic I'm looking fer is much the same as this, 'cept clearer and larger and she's outside at the parade.

Iffin' anyone of you lot have this pic, please share

Arrr

Well I am leaving Canada in about 5 hours and will be living in the woods in the keys note I am not a pirate actor I am the real

Deal

real deal? you mean... you rob people on the high seas and such?

Well, there's any number of places in my area that get a hearty "Yar"! from me.

In Old Town Alexandria there are two establishments I'm rather fond of. The Union Street Pub and The Charthouse. The Pub is built in one of the old old warehouses and has a fine Colonial feel to it. The Charthouse is a little more upper crust but's built right on the pier and sits on the river. The food is excellent and the service usually is too.

My wife is from Korea so we spend a fair amount of time in "Little Korea" (Annandale, VA). One of our favorite places there is Il Mi Buffette. Fill your plate with freshly marinated bulgogi and have it cooked right there at your table.

Right across from Il Mi is Shilla bakery, which also serves great coffee and "Ping Su". Ping Su is a shaved ice treat that's great on a summer day.

'allo Poppet!

Nice to see a fellow Virginian here abouts.

Me own arse is mored in Alexandria.

OCRACOKE, N.C. (July 4) - Five people working on Independence Day fireworks shows were killed by explosions, four of them by a single blast that rocked this remote village on the Outer Banks.

The blast at Ocracoke came as workers were unloading fireworks Saturday from a truck at the Anchorage Marina, shaking homes and businesses across the southern end of Ocracoke Island and rattling residents and tourists.

Earl Woodham, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said agents determined the cause was accidental. ATF will not investigate further, but a workplace safety agency such as the state Labor Department likely will try to find the specific cause, he said.

Dock master Robert Raborn was about 200 yards away from the truck and said the explosion was one of the loudest things he had ever heard.

"It was like 40 minutes worth of fireworks going off in four seconds," Raborn said.

One of the workers died at the scene Saturday and three others died later at area hospitals, including one who died on Sunday, said Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell.

Another person was listed in fair condition at the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center at the UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill.

I can't shake the thought that I wonder if the specter of our old friend Edward had anything to do with this...

We all play soundrels here but I believe that we all have good hearts. I've been away and occupied with mudane affairs so I didn't even see this until today. Glad he's doing better and glad they got they bastard what did it. My continued prayers will be with him and you and all your family.

gotta finish with selling my house first. That happens later this month, thank God. I'm basically just browsing right now, I won't be seriously shopping until next year or so.

I finally remebered what it was I've been meaning to ask you. There's a bonny lass th' name 'o Terri Meese (a.k.a. Mouse) that was a dear friend of mine back in the day. I know she used to hang out with you guys and I lost touch with her some years back. I was wondering if you knew her and/or had heard from her recently.

*sigh*

why would anyone even do this to you guys? I can't imagine it being any sort of personal vendetta or anything like that. I mean, you guys are pretty much nice to everybody.

and do you really do *that* much business that it's worth it for someone to hack you?

Yar!

Necropost!!

My Lady works at Home Goods and they have all sorts of nifty stuff to fit a pirate theme. I just picked up a beautiful chest from there on Monday. They also have ships wheels and a variety of nautical decorations from time to time.

Tall Striped Socks with Skull and Crossbones $5 a pair found at www.pyrateskeepe.com

that url brings up some soft of weird link page called "bing.com".

somtimes we forget that Mexico is also in the Caribbean... and Mexico means TEQUILA!!

My Lady and I set down to make margaritas last night and woefully discovered that we were short on margarita mix. I poured what we had into the blender and substituted the rest with Mott's apple juice. I added a healthy measure of Cuervo Tradicional and...

I must say I was pleasently surprised. The first apple margarita I ever heard of but wow it tasted good.

You have no idea what even the mere suggestion of a female bossom does to a male psyche.

HA!!!!

Say's you!

(They be two of me favorite weapons!)

I woud think it's safe to say they are the favorite weapons of most of us

my how this thread has evolved

Thank you, Sir. You're one of the most amazingly helpful pirates I've ever met

In the next 2-3 years I'm planning on buying a boat. I'm lobbying hard for a ketch but the Mrs. want a modern Sea Ray type of thing. Honestly anything that gets me out on the water will make me happy.

In my retirement, I'm planning on take a voyage down the East Coast, from Virginia to Florida. I'm sure there are places along the way I can stop for a night but I have no idea where to even look.

Is there a list, anywhere, of public harbors or marinas where you can just pull in and tie off for a few hours or even a night?

And of course, I've heard tell of floating bars and general stores and such that you can just pull up to in your boat. How would I find out about those?

great stuff, I especially like the Chinese Junk, absolutely beautiful

The next Pennsic War and forever after a new rule was added to the book 'No fighting of any kind, anywhere at night. If caught doing so you will be thrown off site.' We got off easy...

oooo... maaaaan.... no more midnight boffer raids on Pentwyvern? *sigh*

(Was once called Tormod MacLeod O' Cair MacDonald)

Now, you mates are WAY too easily entertained! ROTDLMAO!!!

You have no idea what even the mere suggestion of a female bossom does to a male psyche. And that, right there, is quite a bit more than a mere suggestion.

(forgive my absence, I've been busy with some real life affairs. I know my own story line has not impacted the main events but it's still rude to vanish after making a start. My appologies)

Tiberius stood at the dock and could scarcely believe his eyes. The ship that had been his only home for the past... ... ... few... years was rapidly shrinking to a dot in the distance. He went over the events of the past few days and came to a dishartening conclusion.

The Captain, who had been the closest thing to a father figure he'd ever known, had provided him with clean threads, a fine sword and a pouch of gold. Everything he'd need to make a new start on his own. Then he'd sailed off into the sun without Tiberius.

Tiberius wandered the streets, trying to decide what to do next. The sounds of revelry came from a nearby tavern and Tiberius decided that was as good a place to start as any. He congradulated himself on his first decision as a truly free man when he discovered the rum was free.

well.. that went well...

is this available to all users or just ones that used to have it?

somewhere, somehow, such a thing must exist.

If I was to search for a modern watercraft, nothing big, mind you, say about 30' or so, that had a "pirate" look and feel to it... where I would look? I've tried a few searches on google and yahoo and come up with nothing so far.

I know Smoolie671 mentioned in the "Morning Star" thread that he does some custom work of that nature but are there any other resources for us modern buccaneers?
