René la Gaffe

I cut my finger, and a good friend immediately attacked me with these..... they make cuts look...delicious.....(note:picture is NOT of me.......not quite tan enough....)

for some reason i always wanted one...CURSE YOU STEPHEN SPIELBURG!!!

.........though id want it in burgandy...i love antique cars...model t ford= love ..............wow in comparison to all the sports cars..mine seem very......slow.......

AAAHHHHH! peoples are whispering dark nothings about me to strange men who iv been told smell.........it was the canadian...he shall pay..after all canucks cant fight....can they?...and yee shall have that drink sir!...after i have two..or three. Till we meet then mate!

!Curse the devil, and the angles above!!! Confounded timing, i swear im going to it next year! Great cover shot mad dogg..iv heard alot about you....dont know it thats good or bad....i shall take good ,monsieur......

May your future days be much happier silkie! i must admit, the car incident really came our rather well all things considered........oh yeah....the post office is the devil!

good lord, hes got quite the business going......hell take us all over and steal our monies.........someone STOP HIM!!!

Lady brower i do love the color of your cloak-y thingy..whatever it, tis great, but it inspires another question......where'd you get the fabric.........?

Ebay, Monsieur... Ebay. Ms. Kate let me in on a little secret (sadly, I am not good at keeping them!) that ebay is a great place to find fabric.... So with her help I found this and several other chunks of wool for the Sean and Clint's Jackets. (She is a terrible influence on me, I find myself doing a great deal of shopping while chatting with her...)

In any case, it cost less than 40 in fabric and probably only 3 hours in time thus far (the edges are unfinished) so if you are trying to save coin, I highly recomend making one. =) with the left overs you can stitch up a pair of mittens and maybe a hat.

i must say, i have yet to ever use ebay for anything, iv always been a bit apprehensive of online buying.......but that may just be me...being paranoid....i shall see what i find.......any tips?

..........im afraid....the button holes alone are enough......this is why im glad to be working on stuff for mmmmee and mmeee alone

Im with lady brower, because i generally type how i talk, i often say aye in real life and well at tis and other antiquated words...bbuutt i do try my best to put them in the right place. Funny enough , when im dressed up , i dont even attempt an accent(french of english) and i can actually do a pretty good english accent, because most of my family is from brixton(near london...well in it really)........................ on a side note, i must say that callenishes accent quite good(forgot to complement you on it at blackbeards)...............especially at events where we are trying to convay an accurate portrayal to the public, over the top accents should be right out, bbuutt if we are all just out for a good time, do what makes you happy......p.s. i hope no one thinks my little french bits are serious, just fooling till french classes start..adieu

ffiinnnneeee vous criez le bébé! I shall invite the canadian to bless us with his knowledge........ *le sigh

My dear sir I don't know what translator you use or not for your French but it always put a smile on my face. I mean that in very friendly non-condescending way. It's always very close but not quite rigth. Keep it up I like it

LOLOLOLOL i swear i was waiting for someone to call me on the bad french lol, i havnt started classes yet, so im gooing of what i can piece together with the help of the internet lololol, im glad it makes you smile...for it does the same to me

Callenish, bless yee sire, for i almost forgot to put gloves on my list of things to get, i think jas townsend may get an order from me soon.........i wonder if its easier to buy a cloak or make.......iv also seen people just use blankets pinned about their person as cloaks, i know it was done in the revolutionary period, but was it don in the early 1700s too? i would imagine so, but ill still ask...........

Mike, i was looking at a copote myself, for it is easier to make than a great coat, and more than likely cheaper(yyaayyy) I havnt seen any period artworks with it depicted on a civilian, but i have seen on on a painting of soldiers in the f&I war...though admittedly later in time.....

Lady brower i do love the color of your cloak-y thingy..whatever it, tis great, but it inspires another question......where'd you get the fabric.........?

ffiinnnneeee vous criez le bébé! I shall invite the canadian to bless us with his knowledge........ *le sigh

apparently i too have what it takes, but same as alot of you, i work as a sailor anyway so i guess its appropriate....but i must say the answer choices weren't all to expressive...adieu

Bon jure mes amis! Soon the icy winds of hiver will be upon us, as well as the cool days of automne. So, what are you guys making to keep warm? Personally id like a watch cloak, a sleeved wesket or to, and a greatcoat would be.......great..lol....... Im pretty sure that a wool jacket would do, for most sailors/pyrates, but what are the common folk wearing in hiver? oh...and this question doesnt apply to michael, canadians dont need winter clothes...... au revoir, pour maintenant

though not quite cut out for a sailor...im making a wool greatcoat , sleeved wesket ,and a cloak for this winter....cant be a pyrate all the time, bbuutt i suppose a good wool jacket should do you ok....be sure to get some wool gloves though!

very well done sir! i dare say that those wool slops may help save your bacon in november!

Its a real shame that she went up like that.......so very few of them left........so very beautiful...... im very glad no lives were lost, though the crew may feel otherwise.......however unlikely, twould be nice to see it rebuilt.......but it would seem very unlikely......adieu, mon beau navire......adieu *tosses handkerchief

hey folks, just an update. Looks like the first full weekend of june is a go. thursday and friday are classes for us to include time on the water in small boats and possibly building a cape cod dory. Saturday is a colonial maritime festival with an awsome event in the works for dinner entertainment. If anyone is interested in attending the workshops please let me know. L. Silver could you please send me an e-mail with a way to contact you.

In my usual bout of sleeplesness I have found a new place for those of you "punking" in or near LA

with areas called The lab, the generator lounge and the tesla lounge.

A steampunk style lounge/restaurant set in a 20's era actual powerplant with the original generators and some was cool furniture in place. What a great place for photos, to hang out or if you surf their site some inspiration..
