  1. also, the surgeon that mentioned this seemed very sure about something in it causing black foaming of the mouth...though this makes me wonder......if it might be combined with other side effects, Mission, do you know of any remedies that were combined with the mercury for the great pox? or was it just mercury?
  2. i think i need to ask the people at jamesfort about this...and figure out which surgeon mentioned this........as for now, i shall go with missions statement........he is so well researched...i actually have something on black bile i believe...though its in a middle ages book.....i shall now look
  3. not sure if it was a mercury derivative or what, but, i had 3 different un-related sources tell me the black spit thing.....one being the guys in james fort, another being to rev war era surgeons, and the last being an actually doctor, who just found my make-up- entertaining...and they all very specifically mentioned either black spit, black foam, or both....they agreed on it making you salivate...just the added part of it not being a lovely colour.......
  4. last dose from the likes of him...had me foaming black at the mouth.......im feeling better now.......see ------------->
  5. i already has the french pox...i think iv enough of the wenches........for now....but not of the ale.....
  6. dutchman...you knnoowww im gonna copy that...mmuuahahahhahah
  7. there are better and lesser sorts of naughty in my opinion sir!.......we are a better naughty that those confederates....and we have cookies...and brandy!
  8. actually, look it up cap...quite the horrible event in the war...wasn't even being funny...with is weird for me...was actually called fort pillow....
  9. i meant no comparison in a good way....i feel it takes away from both to try too.....and mmmmaaaaaannnnn plate armor look good....hot....but freaking fantastic!
  10. i live in portsmouth sir...where are you doing a civil war event?...and this also makes me wonder....which side were you on in the civil war?...i feel you might have been with mine friend Ian...and that i may have shouted "remember fort pillow!" at you.......
  11. ooooh thanks for that link Chloe.....iv been looking to get Mr.Fox's book on Avery, now i have no excuse not to! yyaayyy!
  12. only one poxy man on that crew mate...lolol....im asking because ....well id hate for him to be heading in the...........wrong direction.........if you know what i mean..........
  13. i am in accord with my captain...not just for us, but everyone else in the former black powder category......i don't look nearly as formidable and impressive ( that's with disgusting french pox, bad teeth, and a black mans attitude) as a man in full plate armor........there is just no comparison really...in my humble opinion.....
  14. you wanna hear about rhode island corruption....you should read some of ned wards papers....darn yankees... they just keep acting like that for all time....lol....and lady McDonough.......i promise.....i shall soon beat the crap out of someone in your establishment!
  15. Also, to better your search...try and think of it as looking for taverns which were frequented by sailors, instead of just pyrates......first and foremost , all pyrates were sailors...and only some sailors were pyrates....they would still fellowship with their fellow sailors.......one place in which you know for sure pyrates could be found drinking, would have been the taverns of Port Royal ,Jamaica....prior to the earthquake of course.... also look for accounts or activities around New Providence in the 1710s........google books is vvveeryy helpful in ffinding primary source accounts from people in period.
  16. Well done sir!...i wish i got that publication.......i shall have to try and give it a read!
  17. which pyrates at mta did you think were cool?
  18. Mr. Herny....from where did you find those images?......and if your looking for what sails youd find on a sloop....google search the sloop welcome, sloop providence , and sloop friends good will.......in their photos they also have lots of what could be found on deck, and hypothetically taken on shore.......
  19. yes, it seems that youv linked us to yyoouurr particular page, as in your control page....note at the end of the link it says /myphotos....try linking to a specific picture, or the album......
  20. hey db, that link doesn't quite work....at least for me
  21. I had hoped for the same.....i always feel better about missing an event, so long as i may live vicariously through other peoples pictures!........also, Mr. Mako, i pray yee can make it to an event soon, i feel you would be a most interesting person to meet!
  22. oh m'gowd...i just died what for want on mine insides..........a gun....what also serves as a man cleaver.........i fancy havin tha'..........
  23. if i have a lantern anywhere near me, i get called paul revere .....nevermind that i am NOT a caucasian pewter-smith.........and i get ben franklin as well..........sadly when you do tell them they are wrong, they almost seem offened that they were...as though its my fault that the were wrong...........part of what makes it all worth it for me at least, is for those few that take interest, and instead of just making assumptions, asks what im portraying....or even better, that rare person that knows the info, and appreciates what iv done, and knows its been done right(or at least to the best of my present knowledge and ability). More so,even, than any of that are the kids......especially when you give them the pyrate myth breakdown, and show that real mariners in the early 18th century were just as, if not cooler than movie pyrates....well...sailors........
