I see it be Wartooth natal day. I'm buying around and toasting you Warttoth! Congratulations on making it through another year above ground!

Capt. William While I was searching the Reference stacks for something else this book caught my eye in the maritime section: A History of Medicine in the Early U.S. Navy by Harold D. Langley Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995 ISBN 081848768 In the preface it mentions the establishment of the Bureau of Medicine & Surgery in 1842. Now if that was the first governing board for certifying navy ship surgeons I don't know. But the book looks good and it msy still be available in print. You can try an ILL at your local library or amazon.com or bookfinder.com. Hope that helps.

OK let's see if this works!

I still can't get my image to upload! Could somone give me a hand offline please? Thanks

Well I was thinking more of people in the UK and Europe. I seem to recall someone in Germany.... But it does look like an interesting competition.

I came across this on the Sword Forum International Theatrical Fight forum. I thought it might be of interest to some of you. They welcome pirates :) http://www.stage-warriors.de/sw_eng.html

Here are some details: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4437434/ Maybe soon Eisner will be standing on a corner with a sign that says "Will Work for Food" Make him walk the plank!

Wolfy we PRP folk are not a bad lot. If you look at the rules there basically safety rules. Sort of like the dumb things you read on labels, like don't stick live animals in microwaves. So don't worry. When you have reached your majority just come out and hang with us. We' re just a bunch of pirate after all! :)

How were you able to save and upload your South Park character?

I was just glad that PJ was in long pants and wearing real shoes! Jackson & LOTR deserved everything they got. I was as much pleased to see LOTR get the Oscars as I was dissappointed that Johnny didn't get his even though I thought his was the more innovative and creative performance. Sean Penn's perfromance was very good but he didn't reinvent the genre he preformed in like the Depp-miester did. Mr. D was trully a miester (that is master in German) actor. Trully gracious too. Did you see how he was with Kiesha Castle-Hughes from Whale Rider? She was asked who of anyone there would she most like to meet. She said Johnny Depp. Why? "Cause he's a hunk!" (Glad to see after all these years he hasn't lost his Tiger Beat crowd ) Shortly before the Start of the Oscars Keisha was led over to where Johnny was sitting and introduced. He was knid and gracious congratulating her, wishing her well and telling her he really like her work. He was kind and paternal (in a good way :-) ) What a gentleman! Next up in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. If anyone could out do Gene Wilder he can!

Born in Santa Monica, CA & raised in Los Angeles, CA and a Valley girl no less! Fer sure matey! Totallly! Gag me with a cutlass! :) Currently living in South Pasadena but looking for a permenent port close by.

Awwwww!! Don't be tell'n tails outta school on her!! (Bless her little gassy heart!) Yeah, she sure is sweet. She's my own little oxy-moron. She's my *Sweet Stinky* (I'm gonna tell her you tattled Red!) She'll be save'n one up JUST for you! (Shudder at the thought remembering last visit) Make note, no live flame near Clancy. Back to POTC sequel. There was a piece on IMDB www.imdb.com about how the Depp-miester can't wait to work on the sequel/s. Apparently he misses Jack just as much as we do. :)

I thought that was due to another problem Even so she's a sweety pie! :)

Nor as smelly! Wet dog! Poor Clancy :)

Not another &%^#( monkey! Do you think you could handle that Bess?

I remember in the POTC: CBP Commentary how he felt like Methuselah next to Kiera Knightly in the night beach scene. He may look 12 but ....

S.L. Magggie Glyn Williams is the author and it's a very good book. I have a copy myself but it's packed away in storage. You might want to check a topic I started titled Pirate/Maritime Book. All the information is listed their along with info on other books that I have read or seen good reviews on that are also in the Huntington's collection. Hope that helps! :)

The French pirvateeer (OK pirate ) Hippolyte Boucard raided San Juan Capistrano in 1818. Each year Mission San Juan Capistrano has a festival to commemerate it. The Port Royal Privateers of which I am a member participate in it. Here's a link http://www.missionsjc.com/pirate.html He didn't find much except the wine cellar. He and his men went on a three day drunk at the end of which some of them had to be hauled to the long boat on cannons because they were too drunk to move! After they left it was discovered that 3 of the Misssion women were missing. The padres declared that they had been kidnapped. The families of the womwn said nope they went on their own accord. Apparently they thought being with the priates was a lot more fun. :)

Maggie shame on you! You're going to have to wait till you're 18 to get your hands on Jack's gear!

No it's the other way around. If someone get the SAG award that person is more likely to get an Oscar. Good for Johnny boy! :)

I don thingk that means whaat you thingk it means
