Firethorn

I’m glad to report that I shall be making me way toward the Maryland area and its grand fair grounds of Revel Grove! Yes it be true, after much hint dropping to the Mrs., she has agreed that it would be a fun day to get out with the kids. Of course me wife thinks we all be “Daft like Jack” with all this pirate stuff, but still my seven year old daughter be lovin’ pirates. So me better half will take on the role of navigator on our journey southward with my daughter taking the roll of the wee bonny cabin lass, or gunners mate, depending on her mood. That leaves me teenage son, who believes everyone over the age of 25 is old and a dork, will take the position as… well, we be just taking him along for ballast. I won’t be in any kind of garb, just me boring every day clothes. My son would really hate me if I dressed up for this event, bad enough I’m draggin’ him along. At any rate, we most likely will arrive around high noon, I’ll be keepin’ a sharp eye out for black buttons and green arm bands. I'll be sure to bring me new fangled picture taking box to document me trip. :)

Thanks for all the great idea's and imput! Perhaps with your help I can avoid some of the pitfalls of starting this endeavor. Thanks again,

I'm sending this out to those who have themselves a fine crew of pirates and asking how might one go about starting their own local group, I have a few idea's but thought I would check in with some experts. Thanks a heep! ...and the rums on me!

Just read in the paper that a local nautical gift shop is having alittle get together for TLA pirate day. Their giving away some plunder too, nothing big I imagine but I'll have to take the kids over to check it out. Also, just came back from a family party where their was quite a few who knew about talk like a pirate day, at least now my wife doesn't think I'm the only nut in town. I took the opportunity to tell them about the POTC interactive theatre coming to a near by town and they loved the idea and all plan to attend, and their going to drag my wife along. We shall see.

In honor of "Talk like a pirate day", the kids and I are about to sit and watch POTC for the umpteenth time, much to the dismay of their mother. :o Pass the popcorn ya filthy bilge rats!

Dang! Wish I could make it down, perhaps next time.

Nice shots, thanks for the looksee! :)

M'mm, Angelina Jolie playing a rival pirate and/or ex-lover, that would be interesting. Poor Jack wouldn't stand a chance.

Best o' luck to all me pirate mates down Florida ways...Hold Fast!

"We be needin' more Barmaids, that be fer sure!"

"M'mm... I'm about to set out for vacation, I just might have to pick up one of these volumes to take along." Thanks,

"Well it seems thar be many moniker's to choose from it makes me head spin, or is it the room?" Stops and looks at his mug of rum. "M'mm ...guess I've had one too many. At any rate I'll go with Bud/Buddy, as in Hey Buddy! drinks over here."

"Lets me thinks on this for a bit, I'll get back to ya's"

"Well… my exact locale be a closely guarded secret there laddy, but suffice me to say I do my plundering up and down the Jersey Shore.”
