Well...I am one lucky damn pirate. Anymore pirate lasses want to join me group hug festival?

Wow.

Step aside, step aside, nothing to see here! (Looks around. Hugs Merry) Nobody gets to hug her for the next ten minutes but me.

I've brought more pillows...

(dances on the table) Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Wow. What a night! ARRRrrrrrrrr.

I tidal wave hit the party. Aye.

I could use a swim.

My jealousy abounds....aye.

AAHHHHHHHHHHH! Get off ye saucy sea lass! Oh well, I be already soaked. (jumps overbaord with Christine in tow)

I be not called Wake for nuthin'! (Puts Christine over the side and goes after Siren with a rope)

Wet blousy shirt contest! Aye. I may never leave.

(Wipes water from his beard and flicks it on the ground. A slow spreading grin of dangerous mischief spreads o'er his face. Goes for the bilge pumps and some buckets.)

SPLOOOOOOSH! HEY!

What be all this then!? Thar be pirates down the hall trying to sleep off a night of revelr....revalllro...revilwry.... ....drinkin' and dancin'!

The SHORT list? I will have you killed. Aye.

A list of me Piratical Booty. A plethora of beads from around the world, including blue glass beads from Palestine. I procurred them when I was but seventeen and living in Jerusalem. A long knife recently given me by me friend Big Mike. A flintlock pistol given me by me parents. A sea trunk that me sister gave to me not two weeks ago. A brass sextant from me song bird, Heather. A plethora of beads from around the world and coins from all guarters. Me charts of Africa. Me boarding axes. All five of 'em. Me candlesticks from Luxor, Egypt made of fine alabaster. Me drums. A leather bound book or two. A collection of fine knives made by Big Mike. Me skull collection. A medium and small trunk to keep it all in. I modest, but excellent collection of pirate goods.

While I am not a member of the SCA or the Cote Du Ciel, they are holding an event in September that I plan to attend. It is The Harvest War on Sept. 17-19, 2004. Any pirates close to Northern Utah wish to join our pirate camp? Arrrr! -William Red Wake
