Happy Natal Day Preston!!!
May your day be filled with Dogfishhead, 38 inch or taller tires, fun yet challenging obstacles, and ofcourse lotsa piratey goodness (or would that be badness?)
Huzzah to you!
-
As a final note to this...
Cap'n Midnight,
I received a package today, let me say I couldn't be more pleased.
The Whydah shot box is wonderful. Thank You.
And on top of that, the extras you sent as an apology, a costrel and a rigging knife. I am humbled...
When we meet I'll buy a round so we might toast each others health.
Yrs&c

Sure it will be noted master Cross, a poor unfortunate rigging accident. The body was lost at see. never to be seen again. Tis a pity really.
(Great the Archangels derailing a thread yet a again. )Ye archangels be drynkin' far too much of that Green Fairy... such hallucinations you're all having!

Chloroform! How unsportsmanlike!
Oh, I forgot: "Pyrate!"

Oi Cap'n Jim....
But he 'calls' hisself a pyrate hunter... I faintly hear somethin' about a pot callin a kettle black... er somethin'...

Hmm....
That's a pity...
Lets get this straight... My vision is perfectly fine, I kept you all from killin' yerselves at FTPI... Shootin' great guns n' small arms...
I can see just fine... now my ears on the other hand, well... from firin' them guns, they might not be as keen as they were a couple years back...
Oh Jack, that's three pounds of powder, not two as you wrote in yer *ahem* secret book...

It was also safely and graciously sheltered by the crew of the Archangel for a time.
Oh aye, that it was....
That reminds me... I didn't see the Archangel's flag about at FTPI...
Was it there?
-
Thank You very much! I look forward to owning this magnificent accoutrement, and yes, of course, as I have in the past, I do accept your apology.
I'm not going to make some kind of speech or play on words. Sh*t happens, patience grows short, tempers flair. Wrongs get righted and the world becomes a better place. It's all good.
Blessings to all,
Yrs&c,
Dorian

are children used in sail making?? why are you selling a children?
Cross my goode man...
Of course children are used in sail making!
Cheap labour! And they have wee hands to do the tight work!
Go on... tell me I'm 'just wrong' for saying this...
Historically it is true though...
-
Yes darlin', we have it.
Keep forgetting to post this...
Lilly!

Alrighty then... just hang onto it, no need to get it back to me at the moment as I don't have a gun to use it on... yet
Thank you kindly,
Dorian

Overheard during the auction... and at other times, such as the safety meetings...

Interesting...
The store opened in April of this year...
Maybe no one had bothered it before, but this wasn't a 'seize the moment' (cannon?) job. It had to have been planned out.
I wonder if he has video surveillance? I would hoe so, considering what he's selling...
And I agree, the ATF may very well have a good time with it...
Hmm... JollyJackTar, you didn't happen to... no, you already have some great guns to play with...

It is as simple as this. Midnight and I set up an agreement, one handmade item for another. The simple stick, as he calls it, is a fid I handcrafted with no modern tools out of Brazilian Walnut, to his specifications. I made sure he received it in a timely fashion, and added the medal as an extra piece. A Saint Barbara's Medallion to protect him as he was headed to Iraq. In emails he praised how perfect it was and how much he appreciated that I got it to him so quickly. Promised me that I would have the Whydah box soon. I have sent him emails and PMs on the pub over the last couple years, wondering what was happening. On the pub, when a message is sent, you can see when the person read your message so I know he got them, but ignored them. A little communication goes a long way. Had Midnight even dashed off a one line response to any of these inquiries... Of the responses I have gotten, apologies have been made and accepted, and promises that I would receive the box within a month were given, but that was about a year ago...
Edit; Looking back through my messages, this past May I was assured I would get it within a months time.
As for questioning or ridiculing his beliefs... I don't know who may have done so, but it was not I. I will admit that I have questioned his character since I have had no replies to my inquiries...
All I've wanted was for him to honour the agreement. I have taken his word every time that he would send me the shot box 'soon'.
Now I will make my apologies to the Pub and its patrons that this came to a head publicly.
Yrs&c,

Captain Lasseter was pleased with all that was being done by his crew to help the ship, and to help Those of the Watch Dog to find them in the storm. A harsh smile, which more resembled a grimace, crossed his face as he observed the work at hand. Again hands changed on the pumps, men checked the security of the fothered sail on the bow, and others checked the lanthorns illuminating the Lucy, making her shine as best as she could as a beacon in the night. Dorian would occasion to pat or caress the rail his hand gripped as he stood on deck amongst the controlled chaos. It was as if he was giving comfort and assurance to the Lucy, letting her know that help was near, it would be alright. At times that seemed uncertain, especially when a large wave broke over her rails and those on deck were washed about, swimming more than not until the water ran out the scuppers. Dorian still kept his eyes shifting from the approaching Frigate and the deck of the Lucy, counting the heartbeats until the Watch Dog was close enough to provide whatever aid she could. At one point when he was shifting his gaze back to the Lucy, Nigel approached with what looked to be a tooth filled smile. Not sure what he could be so happy about, Captain Lasseter gave him a quizzical look. Nigel pointed to the sky.
“Cap’n! Storm’s a-liften’!”
Dorian creased his brow and cocked his head to the side, allowing the rain to strike his cheek full on. He stood this way for a time before slowly beginning to nod.
“Ye may be right, Lad! Though I fear it may jus’ be th’ eye o’ th’ storm! Even so, I’ll take it! ‘Dog’ll be upon us an’ we’ll see wot can be done ta help th’ Lucy!”
“Aye Sah!”
“As you were Mister Brisbane! We’ll see this through!”
Nigel continued to smile as he knuckled his forelock and turned away, headed back to the quarterdeck. The Captain just shook his head and the harsh smile returned as he again turned his attention across the water to the approaching Frigate.

That would have been cool, sir. I think that would be an amazing experience to hear that set up with just candlelight. I'll check out Red Priest - love Baroque.

It was fantastic...
Yes, I know the Bodhran is OOP, even for 1750s, but it worked out nicely...
