Have a great Birthday sir! (Yeah I can spell Birthday) mP

Nothing brings people together like food. That always wins friends, good idea!

very nice Silas! mP

Thanks Mission - I've bookmarked in case it works out mP

yeah... I'm especially good with Lox and Caviar Don't tell me you have pictures of that... please...

After checking flights last night, both Searles and Fort De Chartres looks pretty reasonable assuming I can get vacation days approved.. Alas, school is still in during Searles and camping is problematic for Kimm, (1 or 2 days max for her) so may rule out the rendezvous. So I may have to punt on these in order to get both of us to an event like Put In Bay or Paynetown. maybe the CFO will approve my going to one them - we'll see. Stay tuned mP

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! mP

Happy Birthday!

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! mp

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... http://picasaweb.google.com/PeterChaaps/PIP2010#

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

Who do you mean - Mission? ha "grunt" work - yeah that would have to be the surgeon mP

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 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
