Happy Birthday, Rumba Rue! Hope it takes the rest o' the week to recover from the partyin' ya did! Here's to ya!

I keep reading references to plate ships. Is this silver in a certain form? Is it silver exclusively? Thanks

Yeah, I could. It'd be better than bein' in the Royal Navy,aye?

Arrrgh..I missed that show.Wonder if it's available on tape? Does anybody have a copy? I work for a Dr.Kidd. Probably no relation as Capt.Kidd had daughter (s?) I asked him once and he said there were three Kidd's outta New York that he could be related to and the Capt. bein' one of them. So,I don't know.

I'm not a Hello Kitty fan but I have the keychain because the thought of Hello Kitty runnin' around lootin', burnin' an' ravaging is pretty funny.

Here's to Scarlett Jenny! (raises glass takes a glug)Happy Birthday! Hope it's a rousin' one! (raises glass tahes another glug) Here's to many more birthdays....and drinks.....

Anybody know where a Calico Jack ring could be found? I'm lookin' fer a ring with the skull and crossed swords. Made like a claddagh, so the image kinda wraps around the finger. Anybody know who could make it for me? Any help would be kindly appreciated! Thanks!

Sez who? OK maybe I'm wrong?! Is that unserwear on your head?! No that would be me husband...sorry, that's from a post from a while back. Actually, I'm having the whole summertime coat dilemma me self. They have an outdoor film festival here hosted by the TV station my husband works for an they're showin POTC. I've been asked to come and give the kids pirate "tattoos" and talk about pirate-y stuff...They want me to wear the whole outfit....yeesh...it's in July...in Alabama heat....

I wonder if the producers had been serious about "banishing" the ones that didn't adhere to the mores o' the era they were suppose to be in would have kicked up a fuss about their 21st century ideals? I bet they would've kept their yaps shut if they knew they'd been kicked off the show. I mean, the gay guy coming out was the equivalent of somebody pulling out a playstation or a hair dryer. It kills me how whiney these folks get on these shows and how individualistic they want to be. TV.....yeesh! A pirate reality show? Long days of drunken boredom on the seas followed by some quick, frantic, violent activity, a spending spree at the nearest port then back to long drunken boredom for days, weeks on end.............................I am so there.

Aye, I remember it well...I was 14 years old an' lookin' in the library at a collection o' illustrators....two words, me friends....Howard Pyle! I started collectin' his pirate books...then in 'bout 1977 or so ELP did that great pirate piece on the album "Works Vol.1" and them bein' one of me favorite bands....I was inspired to join up and learn all I could 'bout the brotherhood an' the sweet trade....Ah....makes me want to go out an' plunder somethin.... S.H. Maggie

Althought better late than never and always a reason fer a toast....Happy Birthday, now I gets to drink fer real!!!! Yay! Cheers! Silverhearted Maggie

Is anybody out there going to the the Atlanta Ren Faire and wantin' to meet up on the same day? There was a goodly amount of pirate-y presence there last year. I live in Birmingham and will be driving over but waiting to set a date until I hear if anybody else is going and when. Hope we can get a group together! Just lemmee know.. Cheers! Silverhearted Maggie

I checked in around 11:00pm central so I may Have just missed ya, Paisley. I did chat with somebody and the only problem we had was our user names would'nt come even though we had typed them in the upper left hand box. I like the chat room and will be there next Sunday!!!! Keep yer powder dry, S.H.Maggie

Happy Birthday. I raise me glass to ya! What ever ya be havin, here's one on me! S.H. Maggie

I saw Kevin Smith's Cap'n Scurvy on Mad TV last night. It was pretty funny. There was some pirate references on "Scrubs" a couple of episodes ago. The best was in the cafeteria line and a guy was looking at the main character and saying "No, I don't think pirates are cool" and the main character looked at him and said "Then... you're not cool..." and he pondered pirates throughout the program... S.H. Maggie

In agreement with the rest! That's a fine design ya come up with! You be an inspiration. Here's a drink on me! S.H.Maggie

Hello mates, Did anybody that read the Captain Kidd book (Pirate Hunter) catch the weird connection to Thanksgiving and Kidd?Just wondering.... Cheers to ya! S.H.Maggie

I remember Jean LaFoote!!! You can also buy him as a Bendy-toy. I saw one at Junkman's Daughter in Atlanta a while back. Archie McFee also has a ton of pirate-y goodness. I have the shower curtains. I want the pirate rubber ducks, too. S.H. Maggie

Ahoy. Me husband and I are plannin' on attended as we can drive it in a day. I just got a new waistcoat an I be needed a place to wear it! S.H. Maggie

Just be wantin' ya ta know there's a interestin' new book called "Scurvy". It's about how it 'twas a mystery and the people who came together to find a cure. Thought this crew might find it a likable read. S.H. Maggie

OOOPS, sorry I submitted twice I didn't think it went throught the first time. Me apologies and drinks on me! Silverhearted Maggie

Hunting Hawk, thanks for the advice. Thanks kinda what I have done in the past...They turned out OK but are getting a bit worn out as I can detach the top and use them for everyday boots. Harbour Master, Thanks for your link as well. The problem isn't shoe size but leg circumference. I have pretty but plump legs and that's the problem. Thanks for the link, though. I must say I am impressed by the speed and amount of help one gets from the pyratical community here!!! Thanks again and here's to ya! Silverhearted Maggie

Dear Black Deacon, Wow! What a collection of links for piractical sources (and not so,,,ostriches?) Anyway, thanks , actually I found some other things I was looking for... S.H.maggie

Does anyone know where one can buy custom made boots? Or some with buckles up the side? I saw some lovlies at the Georgia Ren Faire but lost the makers business card. I'm afraid me dear mother passed on her thick calves gene to me . The boots I have now are Ok but I'm a-wantin' something a bit more dashin'. Thanks, S. H. Maggie

Thanks to Dorian Lasseter and Red Maria for their help an' direction on readin' materials. Everyone here has been so helpful. It warms me heart! Thanks again! S.H. Maggie
