Thanks Silkie.

I hope you guys realize this is all in fun. I actually appreciate corrections because I can add them in and when I forget who someone I only see at this event is or what those weird brass twisty things are, I can refer back to my journals. (However, please understand that it's all tongue-in-check and I will go way off the reservation to insert a gag that I find funny. YOU may not find it funny, but I arrogantly write them to amuse myself first. )

we was just making up corrections to poke fun at YOU!

;)

pox on you... ye had to get me started

to the tune of Deck the Halls:

Don we now our rogue apparel

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Troll the ancient English Channel

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Decks abound with loaded cannon

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Armed with cutlass, morals abandoned

Fa la la la la, la la la la

With voice and sword, we start the noise

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

They begin to hide the cabin boys

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Leap aboard and fight like demons

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Finish off the frightened seamen

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Find the wine, and all the garters

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Drink and pander, sin and barter

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Till confronted with your end

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Captured by his majesty's men

Fa la la la la, la la la la

And before ye start to hurling

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Ye should know it's Captain Sterling

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me to yonder Gallows

Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Where your name ne'er to be hallowed

Fa la la la la, la la la la

oooo a really big one too...

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y W I L L I A M !

You are a special quartermaster ! May you have wind in your sails for another 40!

Happy Birthday!

here ya go!! Click on this image. And while you all are at it. If you see people in pics I have not been able to tag, please tag away. I have gone through the first couple thousand of the pics taken by Poppa and Momma Ratzi... I will keep going through them..trying to pull out the 100 best pics of PIP... IMHO anyways....Beauwolf Snuggle Pic

ROTDLMAO....

B) How did I miss that?

That's a great list! I haven't seen two of them, so my childhood will never be complete.

mP

A Happy Birthday to the Mercury's Surgeon!!

May it be the best one ever!

Hey Mate

Since black powder weapons are not restricted here in the USA (in most localities) ...

Buy one here and leave it with a friend that goes to events - I know it doesn't work for Canadian events but...

mP

Have a great one mate

Hope ta meet ye this year - maybe Fort DeChartres?

mP

Here's a few...

AWESOME!!!!

The PIP family rocks! Lily and Fayma - you are the best, Thanks to all for a great event.

Its no wonder folks keep coming back!

mP ^_^ (that's fer you Lily)

Indeed! A toast to Kenneth ... Happy Birthday mate!

mP

So a slight modification to me list - forgot i needed to finish me hat. Just finished the liner, me fingers are raawww... Now needs some water proofing.

Yeah I'm wearing a "funny" hat. Guess I'll have some stories and comments from the plane about me hat.

mP

so far chat has been working well for me - been on a couple times this week.

Thanks for all the hard work Stynky! (though we know ye cajoled some poor soul to do all the grunt work)

Who do you mean - Mission?

ha "grunt" work - yeah that would have to be the surgeon

mP

Oh, calamity!!

Just got word from Capt. Jack that my custom, one of a kind, much-much-fretted-over pirate hat will NOT be done for PiP.

&%&$#@%$# .. . half of my motivation to go to PiP has vanished ... seriously.

How do you mend a broken heart?

bummer mate... go to PIP anyways, and you'll realize the hat isn't quite as important as the friends ye will make!

mP

Disturbing, mates. Disturbing. :)

.

.

.

Eager to see what more disturbing stuff will come after PiP for Pyrate vs Pirate.

~Lady B

disturbing indeed.

Lob arriving in a messenger bag and many other miscreants arriving in one place (meself included). It can only get worse after my second PIP.

FAIR WARNING MATES...

Between the Pub, Surgeon's Journal, Pyrate vs Pyrate, and another half dozen blogs (to be named later)... what happens at PIP does NOT stay at PIP

mP

excellent idea Diosa!

Helps some of us newbies to connect.

mP

might have to doctor up the eyes a bit...

you know...

that "I'm in deep" expression

oh...

and a syringe!!!!!

:lol:

Hey all, it's about a week away and I'm still getting things ready. Here's my list of things to finish:

Vest

Foot Wear

Scabbard

Haversack

What do you still need to finish before heading down for the family reunion???

Animal

ship a box (done)

pack a suitcase

mP

Now go fly the big one at PiP...and post pictures.

Funny that you should say that, because I made a formal request to fly our very flag over Fort Taylor at least once during the event. I should know by week's end.

and we'll light her up with this at night!

Now rattle them names off three times ... quick mate!

Ahoy Shipmates,

My dear PIP family, I will not be able to attend this years festivites. Though I will miss you all my school duties must come first this time around. Much love to you all. Fair winds and Fallowing seas and a safe journy to all.

Ye SHip's potter,

Salty

PS sending the lads down, dont let wee hamish take o'er the town too much.

So sorry you can't make it this year Salty.

Rest assured - The Mercury crew will keep your men out of trouble :D
