Buy a small jar of "liver of sulphur" from a craft lapidary /jewelers supply. It oxidizes the silver. Polish the raised areas stays in the cracks. The jeweler should have had this on hand.....????

I think a nice old fashioned belay pin would look spiffy! It's not a weapon , it's an 18th C "personal" device

Happy happy late BD Quartermaster. Hope yar feelin' better than last we spoke Raised a few for ye as well as Billy here in Portlandia's Chinatown. Ye were missed at the shindig! It was shiny! I have a certain mysterious package awaitin' ye! -Stormfeather

Sending ye my rather late Birthday greetings as well, Billy. Haven't seen yar mug for a year an a day! Since my last Birthday when we careened the ship near yar port... This year the Party Assault Vehicle only made a day trip to PDX's China Town and back. We visited all the finest taverns though and even raised a Singapore Sling or two to ye with the Sandy River Sluts! all the bes to ye, mate! -Stormfeather

I have to admit I no naught where Douglas County, Oregon is... But if it's within a day's sail of Portlandia ye will wanting to be signing on here.... www.pdxpirate.org

Aye, thar be a regular customer base of middle aged pirates to be found shopping at "Goth in a Box". The only reason to go to the mall, me thinks.

Well, so much for "What happens in Tortuga stays in Tortuga"! And, aye! I'll be hard pressed to top that next weekend! 'Twas also a pleasure meetin' you and Chain Shot. May fair winds bring our courses together again soon! Weelll, I coulda posted the picture! You mean these pictures?????? Happy BD again from a fellow Aquarian Pirate!

Ahoy Billy! I'm sorry to be late in my greeting! Just when I had recovered from the plague other members of my household succommed to the wretched thing... Hope ye had a good one., and many more years of pillaging to come to ye mate! It was a pleasure meeting you (and False Ransom And Chainshot , also from the pub) at our recent ship careening near the Falls of Silver in Portlandia. It was a pleasant weekend stay at The Arms of the Sea Inn, where we celebrated Billy's, Jigme, Capt. Tony and my BD's ! Watery Aquarian's all. Here be the the evidence... SeaTowne Pat's Pics: http://tinyurl.com/2nr839 Aye, that be Sasquatch! http://tinyurl.com/23qnrn Who hired this crew???!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/16972149@N00/ I haven't posted Mercenary Mary's pics yet....

Aye, agree p'haps a fantasy persona is good fer what ails ye! My "sea witch" has a tie-dyed linen chemise, seaweed hair and a lightup shipwreck (complete with Kraken) on her hat- not to mention a very scary trident. She goes to SciFi Cons and the like, but has been knowne to threaten a bad pyrate (or faerie) or two. Can't hardly take her seriously. Just fun.

Well said Kass. From what I hear 'bout your coffee house that would be a great addition. Coffee was more popular (and common) than tea during this period, was it not? I always get in trouble with my crew by suggesting that pirates (or sea going gentleman or marines or gentry) drank anything but ale or rum! But it seems to me that serious plottin' for plundering, or plans for pirate hunting would be better acomplished under the influence of caffeine served by lovely women (who of course could also be spies!). Stormfeather is well known to aid and abett piracy (and monkey stealin'), in her own subtle way and looks completely innocent while serving a pot of gunpowder tea and assorted biscuits.

Huzzah to Mad Jack! I love the bad uncle angle! Ye should be publishing a Pirate Carol song book mate!

These things are addicting....been looking for more mad carols... Some carols were shared with me for a songbook (without noting any author credit) by someone who was leading a pirate caroling event. I made up the cover and turned the file into a .pdf for distribution and posted it previously here: http://tinyurl.com/v64qy I later found out during my own web searching that the source of some of these carols is on the following website. I believe in givin' props so here's the URL: http://home.earthlink.net/~piratefan/Pirat...stmasSongs.html ---------------- I looted the following from the Puzzle Pirate gamer site- PIRATE!
