With a bunch of events coming up - please keep an eye out for the blunderbuss - reward for information leading to recovery. Thanks mP

Happy Birthday Jon!

Kudos Iron Jon. Wish I could drive and bring all my stuff! mP

Welcome! We celebrated Talk like a Pirate Day at work one year, and in my googling around ran across this site and got totally hooked. After absorbing much of this site, I made my first event at FTPI in Key West (Pirates in Paradise at the time). T I can only say you will make lifetime friends, learn a lot and have a ball. The people in our crew are friendly, instructive and welcoming. Don't be shy. Keep reading the various threads here, especially the clothing threads as you will need some kind of kit. We're planning on a presence at Utah pirate festival this year in Sept if that is closer for you. We have several Mercury members going to support that. I have another friend in Denver who would do pirates if something was to come together for an event in Colorado. Hook up with William, he has drawings of the Ship Mercury and others in exquisite detail if you are interested in ships! mP

Nice! Mr Red "Wake" is now appearing in the Pirate comix!

Thanks Stynky. It really is one or two specific threads. I don't like to block out forums cause then I miss new stuff. It sounds like a lot of work to specify only what I want, so I'll just leave it alone. Thanks for the reply! oh... and thanks for hating us all! mP

Hey Stinky, Is there any way to ignore a particular thread/topic? There is one in particular that seems to come up everyday when I look at New Content and there is no meaningful information in the thread. thanks, mP

oooh its a big one too! Happy Birthday ye old Rogue! mP

Happy Birthday to all who made this reality. All I can say is I hope it lasts longer than the GAOP! mP

I received a package from Black Bear today with my order placed in early October. Inside was a receipt with a typed statement that they have had tough times. illness, accidents etc... It took them nearly 4 months to deliver product. They answered my 1st phone call in late November when I expressed my concern that it would not arrive in time for FTPI. He promised my order would go out that week. After that, every single effort to communicate with them was ignored. emails, phone calls, even a PayPal complaint was ignored. Only when Dutchman held their attendance at Blackbeard as leverage, did I receive my order. Hopefully others here on the board receive theirs as well. To be fair, I have purchased online from them in the past and been pleased with their work. I feel for their misfortunes, but a little truthful communication would have gone a long way. There was none. Whether you choose to purchase goods from this sutler is entirely up to your judgement. mP

your artwork is awesome Patrick! I know how much work it can be to put even one cartoon a week up. mP

your bday was hidden below the top 5 display but we found it. Happy Birthday Mate! mP

Thank You Dutchman! much appreciated! mP

That's good. seems like he is trying to fix things then. Have not received mine, but my order was in October so a bit later than yours. mP

Happy Birthday Bo! Hoping to see you again soon. mP

Aye, that be truer than the ropes end, that be. I ordered from them August 31st, Called and placed it, the blighter said he be on schedual. But alas, he lied! When me order didn't come in, I tried to call the scurvy scum, but No replies, naught nuthin. Got an email back asking for more time he said it would ship last week never came. Very Disapointed, then to top it off, the BBB says they have good reason to think they are out of buisness.. STEER CLEAR! I ordered an item in October, then shortly after saw this post. The first time I called they answered and said my order would go out the same week. Nothing ... Now they will not answer phone calls, voicemail or emails. YE BE WARNED!

I love James Nelsons novels... mP

Aye, put me down fer next year. Likely a tent. and sign me up fer the trial! mP

Aye Happy Birthday to one man I genuinely look up to! mP

Happy Birthday to Mission the Surgeon. Have a great one mate! mP

Happy Birthday Capt. Jim. Twas a pleasure to finally meet you! mP

Aye. it was purloined off a ship destined for the king of spain, so I guess it was too pretty for him as well! mP

Aye... me reputation is ruined! mP
