A fine birthday to ye Gunpowder Gertie! Hoist a tankard, and we'll all celebrate!

Mayhap ye can call it "Jolie Rouge" , the etymological origin o' the term "Jolly Roger".

Here be Pusser's "complex" grog formula (it be one o' those hot grog versions)

1 shot rum

1 teaspoon superfine sugar

Squeeze of lime juice

Cinnamon stick

Boiling water

Stir all ingredients, adding enough boiling water to fill mug or glass

Chum

At the helm -- less chance o' me gettin' attacked by a sea gull...

Hook or pegleg?

Ties -- a wee bit more secure.

Shoes or barefoot

leech

English 4 wheel carriage.

Gibbet or gallows?

ex-wife.

yeah, I went there...

A mighty fine day o' birth ta ye Chrispy!

May yer day be full o' loot an' rum!

Oh, I plan on buyin' at least one of every set! I miss the old pirate legos that I used ta own. Especially the huge tallship models. Those were the best.

Upper Gun Deck, not as smoke filled.

Brass Monkey or powder monkey?

Sincerest condolences to his family. I raise a glass to him, and the music we'll sorely miss.

Tankard -- less likely ta break when I smash some lubber in the deadlights.

Sea Gull or Albatross

Belaying Pin

Black spittle hmm? You weren't by chance, chewin' on a plug o' Virginia Leaf were ya? I know from personal experience that the habit o' chewin' lend itself ta black spit. An' if ye were takin' a dose o' quicksilver, well then, them might just be workin' together on a mighty fine coincidence.

plant

Marinade

Ear rings!

Much like the ones I make by the by!

Looks like I know what I'm doin' this weekend while my lass is off visitin' family!

Can any o' you fine leatherworkers out there give me a hint or three on how ta soften up leather?

I ask, on account o' the fact that the baldric I've had fer a year now is still as stiff as a dead Spanaird. I wanna soften it a wee bit, so won't be sittin' all weird like.

delicious!

plague

Flames

Dagger... jes' me preference...

Keel-hauling or marooning?
