King's Pyrate

I have swung my youngest son, Patrick, to the Dark Side......Took him to an event and he loved it. KP

Pirates Sequel Poster in Theaters Walt Disney Pictures has distributed this first Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest teaser poster to theaters. Read More: stars on top

Thank you all for the kind words....they are fun to make....I created a webpage for them at my pirate site. Pirate Toons KP

More playing around while watching the Glorious Florida Gators....Beat KY.....lol Captain Louie Crow's Nest Captain Duck

I think the intent is that being an active pirate you are under the threat of death if you are caught...so why not dress in the plundered clothes you take from your victims. Keep what you take....Give nothing back! KP

I took Hurricane's advice and put the one on a T-shirt and a woman's top but it took me about three hours to clean up the pencil drawing to get the psd quality...but it was fun. Here is what it looks like on the shirt. Arrrgh! Matey

Good idea.....Thanks Captain.

I have been playing while I watch football and created some new pirates. Now I have to figure what to do with them...lol

I have been to a few foreign places: Scottland France Spain Italy Greece Turkey Cuba Jamaica New York.....seemed foreign to a young Southern Lad Would like to visit Austrlia New Zeland Tahiti Minorca Amazonia

I think it would be Jean Lafitte....Sailor, navigator, pirate, hero, gentleman, and businessman who could blend in with New Orleans and Galveston citizenry and like Morgan he rubbed elbows with Governors and Generals. He was at home with common sailors or high society. A unique fellow for his trade Fair Winds Kin's Pyrate

Good to see you and your wife are safe and well....never had any doubt that you would do the right thing for your family. Best to you and yours Joe

It is real windy and wet in St. Augustine.....rain is coming down sideways. KP

Thank You...I'll give it a try. KP

The leather is very soft, I would think that they would not be for everyday wear but would last well for pirate and fair events. I bought the small ones and they rub my ankle a little so I have been wearing them around the Cabin and quarterdeck (house...lol) to break them in, hoping that I will suffer no discomfort at my up coming 5 hour book signing event. I have been wearing the knee high boots but the hot Florida weather was a killer....I am hoping these lower topped boots will be a little cooler. They look like what people think a pirate should be wearing. Besides I find people at these events stretch their imagination to see what they want to see...for example here in St. Augustine, when one of the re-enactors from the Castillo de San Marcos walks down St. George Street in his Spanish soldier's uniform, all the tourist call out...”look at the Pirate"....Only the historical enthusiast care about accuracy. Fair Winds KP

I, for one, would like to thank you and your crew for your hard work to support such a magnificant cause....I lifts a glass to ye one and all....A Fine Bunch of Pirates Ye Be. KIng's Pyrate

Got the boots today and am very well pleased.....great buy KP

My so and his family are ok...new baby did not come yet.......he drove back to his home in Wiggins, ms to check on his new home they were to move into in two weeks. the shingles were blown off and the carport roof was blown into the north 40....he was told to expect electric to be back on in 4 to 6 weeks. Thanks for your prayers Joe

I hope he is ok too...my son and his family are in Hattisberg where the eye went through...We can not get hold of them, when we call the area code of his phone number we only get static.......There are a lot of hurting people over there right now. It might be two months till they get electric back.

Good luck on your rehearsal...don't cut anyone....lol

I invite Florida pirates to visit me at the Riverside Art Festival, Jacksonville on September 11. I will be me in my pirate garb at the author's tent.

See you in Jacksonville on Sept. 11th. Fair Winds Joseph O'Steen(KP)

East Coast Costume I have been waiting weeks for them to arrive in stock......did a lot of shopping around and decided these will do for what I want them for.....Book signings.....I only have to impress the kids but, their parents enjoy my persona too......and I have lots of fun..Got a book signing coming up next month at the Jacksonville Riverside Art Festival.

Ordered me so new boots today and a 3 inch belt.....should have them in 4 business days. I'll let ye know about the quality when I gets them. KP

Hurricane Next time you are in St. Augustine you might want to stop by Hurricane Patty's. It is a pirate restaurant just off US 1, on the San Sebastian River. It is at the marina behind Fran and Tam's restaurant. They have life size pirates climbing ship's shrouds....lots of pirate stuff. I went to a party there in my garb and was a great hit with the staff and customers alike....had lots of fun. KP

Those are Great looking cards. I remember when you were all talking about having them made. Bet they are fun to pass out. I like them very much and I like the ones Hurricane's "Pirates of the Coast" have. I started passing mine out a couple of years ago, here are a couple of my latest cards. Best KP
