  2. Wow..this thread keeps getting better and better..Aye something similar..

    I had a dream a few nights back that I was staring up at a ceiling fan..but the fan was like Caraccioli's but diffrent.

    The blades were fastened on with skulls and crossbones. But the unique thing about the fan was the metal cap at the very bottom of the fan that holds the lights on? That was another skull and crossbones.

    Weird dreams I know..

    And I love the fan pulls...If I could afford it I'd have one on each of my fans..lol

  3. Ok..LOL Aye I was thinking something like the 700.00 ship..But maybe for those who wish to just collect just have half a ship and then you could show the furniture and stuff in minitaure down to the brigs..lol

    I don't know..I just wondered if one had ever been done as I saw a doll house that was made like a tree house..It was unique and really stood out.

    Though I'd settle for a Pirate Ceiling Fan too.. :lol::lol:

  4. Aye Rumba..In December of last year I went into the hospital my blood count had dropped to a four and had to have a major blood transfusion. I still have the issue that causes me to severely anemic and it's considered life threatning and cannot afford the surgery to fix it. So If I disappear again it's for more blood.

    And BayPirate yer a sweet scallywag..."Ray make that two buckets fer the gent"

  7. Ok I was looking about today at some really cool minature items for doll houses and such. But...I did not see anything for Pirate ships..Has anyone ever thought of creating a ship so that it opens up and a child can play with it as one does a doll house? Or as a collectible? Im probably crazy for even posting this..but it seems intresting and I know we have very talented people here.

  8. Jacques had been given over to Eric one they had come aboard and she had made a small collar and leash out of some scrap rope and fastened Argus to the mast so she could make her way up. The pup was noisy that was for sure but she could not leave him to his fate, it would not have been a good one. And she was a firm believer that one good turn deserved another and so Argus had been brought up and allowed to stay for a trial period of sorts.

    Nibbling upon her lower lip she fastened the pup to the mast and told him to sit, this just caused him to wriggle excitedly and his long tongue shot towards her face causing her to fall over backwards upon the deck. Much laughter accompanied this event and face burning she shoved off the Pup and bid him stay in a no nonsense and very firm voice. The pup cowered and stuck his tail betwixt his legs and did as was bidden with a whimper.

    Immediately she felt the heel and squatted before Argus and scratched his ears. “You have to learn to mind, and you have a short time to do it in else you have to go back. I did not mean to hurt your feelings, but we have to find some way to communicate else we will both be in trouble up to our eyeballs and I would avoid that fate if possible.” She whispered to him. Glancing about she noticed Ciaran eyeing her arms crossed over his chest and watching her and then moving to Argus. “Ye have yer work cut out fer ye lass, but yer a persistent one. But yer right, he needs to mind his manners else he will be left behind. Good luck and if’n I were you Id start on his manners right away.” That said he patted her shoulder and walked past.

    Rubbing a hand over her face she stood and moved to ask for a small bone from Mr. Gage and returned. Over the course of the afternoon she grew more frustrated and eventually began yelling as the pup sought the bone and refused to do as commanded. When her voice grew weary she resorted to hand actions and finally some semblance was made and the pup soon learned to sit by a simple drop of her hand, to lay down by keeping her palm flat and pushing down as if on top of a desk, and by not barking by a shake of her finger. Satisfied he had at least learned something she made the command for him to lay and watched as he warily did so then handed him the bone for his reward. “We two are much alike I see…both of us stubborn, but we have to work together for this to work.” She kissed his nose and then rose and stretched and wondered how the day had passed so quickly.

  9. OMG Norrington! But that's all I'll say.

    The movie itself was awesome, In fact I enjoyed it the best out of all three movies. So much was going on but it did leave a lot of things settled and then opened new doors as well. I stayed glued to the edge of my seat and will definitely go see it several more times before it is gone.

    I just wish I could pre-order it now..lol :ph34r:

    So yes the movie is more than worth it and the critics should be made to walk the plank..again it is Critics who do not like pirates..and if you do not like something then you should not critique it.

    So my critique is ten thumbs up!

  10. I did indeed mention Cibola, my own Isle that would be a bit like Tortuga and open year round to tourists. It would be just like stepping back in time complete with tall ships and such. But it takes money... :ph34r:

  11. Toys R Us in my area has a cool PotC alarm clock, TV, DVD player and the remote looks like the compass, The chest of Davy Jones boombox, and a portable/personal DVD player that looks like the compass. So love working at Toys R Us...I get to play with all the cool toys...

  12. Treasure had refused to leave and Maeve had not been found so the little priest had cleaned the pup who it was discovered not seriously wounded though would bear a scar. Still was a small pallet made and Treasure bundled with the pup and lay awake for a long time her face badly bruised and throbbing, her eye now black. A blanket, a clean one had been exchanged for the dirty one and finally she had slept.

    But now twas dawn and as she sat up the pup whimpered in his sleep and she ran a hand over his malnourished body. She could not leave the pup, but would William take on the dog, already his paws were massive and with daily food he would be huge. She went to smile and felt her face pull and slowly sat up taking the blanket with her, her body was sore and she did not see the little priest but Jacques was sound asleep and had her things bundled beside him.

    Rising quietly she crept over to Jacques, the lad was fine, taking her seamans bag she moved into the confessional and changed quickly shoving her torn dress deep within. Once more dressed as a Lad she stepped out to find Jacques awake and the pup sitting next to the confessional whining. Leaning down she rubbed his head “Argus, what am I to do with you? Eh?”

    Looking to Jacques she spoke softly “I have to return to the WatchDog.’ He seemed to understand and rose as well then moved to take her seabag despite her protests and touched her cheek anger flaring in his eyes. Calling to Argus she took one last lingering look about and they left the small church to go back to the docks and wait upon the beach.
