Madam Macaw

Nay laddy, I will send him an earring for a hook to drag him away with.

While I takes a gander at the gents, and I am a saucy lass, the lad holds me heart and other body parts in his hand. Just do the killing quick and bring ma heart back..

Aye, ye lad look'n too happy to be stray'n!

Iffen he does, putt'n the lad in stocks so's his ars be show'n for the boot is a might finer idea before ye be doin' more.

Constance, be ye talkin' 'bout PA or MD now? I thought poor Crispy Willie couldna get around so well out at Crownsville owin' t' the rough terrain and his wheelchair.

Aye, be wonderin that meself. Either way, be see'n ya.

Just an end o' summer grillin' among those of us who have done Klingon costumin'. If ye've been t' Shore Leave up at Hunt Valley, ye've likely seen us.

Hopin' t' make MDRF pirate weekend. Likely that Saturday if I do.

Will likely be run'in into ye there, be a big pack of me mateys, just follow the sound of hoot'n 'n' holler'n! Or, just go to where the sell'n ale and wine.

Have another engagement that weekend. Does involve beer, though, and people who dress up as Klingons when they're not pirates, so it still promises to be an interesting diversion.

Labor Day weekend, me ex be takin' me boys t' Ocean City, so I get t' go out 'n' play.

Aye, a whole crew of Klingons, eh. Anything involving ale, wine or rum plans to be a good outing. What is the event?

Ye planning on goin' to MDRF when the pirates invade to have some fun?

I think the son of a dutchman said he be at pirate weekend at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire this weekend.

If he be with some wench, I'll hold 'im whilst you gut 'im. Then we'll talk abou' how t' be mendin' that broken 'eart o' yers.

I be glad to grab the lads gold-laden pouch to be buyin' a much needed round of ale, wine and rum for to be helpin' mend ye heart.

Anyone plannin' on bein' there Saturday or Sunday o' Labor Day Weekend? (That be 4-5 September)

Be meet'n on Opening Day with me mateys?

Me be there with a tankard full, with me mates Blender and Crimson Cosair, to name a few. Opening day, pirate invasion, Oktoberfest, Scottish, and closing. Will be watch'n fer the posts!

Your name Madam Macaw

How you died: In a sword fight

Hmm, always knew me was a parrot before.

It's the way you raise your kids that makes the difference. I've been a scouts-leader for a couple of years now, and have noticed that some kids're awesome to deal with, while others're nothing but a nuisance, big-mouthed, arrogant brats that're a waste of genes. Those that're great, are mostly of average parents and raised with a tick when they deserve it. Those that're hell in person, are mostly of overly rich parents that've been raised in one of those newly-fangled semi-pedagogically ways, the crap that goes "Punishing a kid's bad for its moral. Never punish it." and "Giving it a slight tick against the head is the same as beating the snot out of it." Those kids turn out to be spoiled, manipulative, arrogant people that think they're superiour to everybody. I can imagine that such kids can be a let-down in having kids, but at the end, they're like a tamagochi: They turn out good or bad depending on how you raise them. Another part is taking responsibility for it. I've seen kids become big, bad, sneaky, backstabbing harrassers, and the parents know 'bout it, but are blaming one year of school and don't do any effort to change it. See my point? Wether your kids are a gift from above or hell on earth entirely depends on you and your partner.

Aye, you definitely have a point there.

Me next door neighbor's kid, Matt, is an only child and gets everythin' he wants. My son (same age) is the smallest of 3 and has grown up learning to share, take turns, clean-up, etc. I had to teach Matt to clean-up the toys before he leaves - he started with telling me he couldn't cause he had to go home right now. I had to teach Matt to share and take turns. His mum would actually take a toy from my son if Matt wanted it - yeah, had to teach her too.

Now, you couldn't really blame the kid, cause that is the way he was raised, he just had that "only child" syndrome. It has definitely been a learning process.

now don't get me wrong.... I enjoy spending time with the lovely lass', laughing together , curled up on the couch. or haveing someone to hold as we watch the sunset. I'm just very set in my ways and very freespirited. the only time I really miss not being single is the time right before you fall asleep and there is no one to cuddle up to.

Me thinks ye might be need'n a parrot.

The bigger the better, and the big uns can snuggle up, course ye gotta watch the beaks.

Aye, thankye for the infermation.

:)

More than happy to oblige!

Hopin' this helped. Good luck to you!

I have recently joined the ranks of singlehood. I decided to see how many of us pirates are treading the high seas on our own. If ye be single belly up to the bar, the first round is on me.

Me think that us crew members that be hitched to a ball and chain, be need'n the drink more!!

Drink up to ye good fortune!

Hey Blenderwench

Myself and and a bunch of my crew will be there that and most other MDRF weekends. 

Meeting at the White Hart sounds like a good plan.  

Yer crew gonna be there Labor Day weekend? How 'bout MD's pyrate weekend?

You bet,i working on a driver home from the pirate weekend at MD.

If i play my cards wrong i will very drunk and having too much fun...anyone want to join me

Aye - me tankard be stay'n full!!

(Blenderwench stands on the top of the bar to get the bawdy bunch's attention....)

AHEM! Me reason for starting this thread is this particular event weekend is being brought up in a lot of other "raids" threads for local events, and me wee brain is gettin a tad confused as to what place, who, when, whatever

With that said (pause for sip of the tankard)....

THIS THREAD IS FOR THE MEETING PLACE OF THE PIRATE INVASION AT THE MARYLAND RENN FEST ON SEPTEMBER 25th and 26th.

Ok, for me, I will be there on Saturday. With a LARGE Group o'folks. Sunday, well, I want to be there, but depends on me head the next mornin.

Now - here's the discussion -

Part 1 - Suggestions on a time/place to meet up?

Part 2 - Anything we should do to distinguish ourselves so we know the other members of the pyracy pub?

(Pirate Phil's dead rat idea is entertaining... tee hee.... Crimson Corsair thinks of somehow having the letters "PP" displayed on our garb in a visible location. This is a great idea, but grounds for a lot of "hey, I see you have a PP!" kind of comments.... )

Ready, set, discuss!!!!!!

(scrambles down from bar, using Crimson Corsair's shoulder for leverage, and summons barkeep for a refill)

Iff'n me tankard is full, I am up fer anything!

Bout' a certain color sash on me arm? Course, there might hap'n to be other pirates there with the same color on, not being from PP, but hey - might hap'n to be another way to be meet'n new mates!

So's 'ow many arrrre going up on Saturday???  Blind Rhoid, PyratePhil, are ye both on Saturday???

  Sunday is out for us, I need to give our 4 yr old a day to rest.

I know on Sunday it is:

Crimson Corsair

MoonShadow

Madam Macaw

Pyrate Phil

Blender Wench (myself)

I am sure there are others, but those are the ones I know for 100% sure.

I think the Jury Rig crew, led by Duncan McGuyver will be there both Saturday and Sunday, but not 100% sure. May want to PM him

Me thought Jury Rig crew was out of 'arbor on their vessel?

Aye, I be not sure on this, but tryin my mightiest to be there on Sunday...

(conflicts - too many requests for my presence in too many locations!)

I found out I have a chauffeur iffen I do.  Mighty thanks, Crimson Corsair.  Next round is on me!

If ya'l do figure to go on Sunday, I'll move my plans to then....wanna see ya'l both!!!

Where might we all meet?

Im hopin to be there sunday...and i cant wait

Aye mate! Ready raise the sails at 8?

Me own bloke stayin home, so if'n I need a bit o' luvin, watch ye self, crimson! What Madam Macaw wants, Madam Macaw gets!!
