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.

Not often ya get ta see a good looking pyrate blindfolded, tied to a post, and whipped with a feather-sword by a gang of pyrate ladies!
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!
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...

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.

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:

Wonderful to hear from ye False Ransom. Consider yarself a citizen of Portlandia mate!
Be sure to look us up if ye make it north down the Willy ( aye, the Willamette drains NORTH into the Columbia) to our little portion of Portlandia. It would be great to meet ye! I had hoped to make it to the Shakespear Fest down your way, but alas, not this year.
The Lady does take paying guests in transit, or ye could sign up fer "two weeks before the mast". But I bet ye know that already. I strongly suggest a south bound transit. Under prevailing winds, the Lady can do about 8 knots under sail I'm told (though John Boy may be able to coax a bit more I'm sure).
The crew always seems to love the baked goodies, they surely burn enough calories to deserve it. I bet they loved yar cake. A sailor's life is a hard, but merry one! We are truly blessed to have the Lady Washington and know the Chieftain as well to play with!
A patch, I never really thought of that, but since two of ye have mentioned it...that is a good idea.
We'll see if R,L&S Co. can come of of wintering with guns blazin'!
Hopefully there will be even more events to come in 2007 to post on http://www.pdxpirate.org !
It can only get shinier!
-
For upcoming events take a gander at http://www.pdxpirate.org and check out the Pirate Event Calendar. We of the Northwest fleet are a busy lot.
Ye can sign on to get an e-mail reminder sent to ye.
Although 2007 events may not be scheduled yet, take a gander at 2006 and ye'll get the notion of what's coming up.

Any more Pirate Carols out there?????
either Naughty or nice
-
Aye! The long dormant "Meetup Group" has found a leader and that be the correct map to find likely company !
It is rumored that many salty ones can be found carousin' first Friday 'o each month at one "Pirates Tavern" on the North side of the Willy River!
Welcome to Portlandia, Mr. Smith!!!!!
:angry:

Great to see everyon'e flags and plans... here's mine...The black flag (small version) belonging to our crew "the Heart of Gold' ready to be flown over a certain North West brig.
Hand sewn linen. The heart be edged in a golden thread, but it is hard to see.
I'm still needing to add the flames on our larger version.
Note to False Ransom and any other North West Piraticals. There be plenty of pyrate doin's in and around Portlandia (Portland, OR). We be easy to find...
just lookie here: www.pdxpirate.org, or here... www.underablackflag.org so set yar compass NW!

A few of Rifle, Loot and Salvage Co.'s favorites and requested here...
--------------------------
Hose Me Down
-Sanger and Didele “Seamen of the Inland Empire”
also frequently performed by Heather Alexander
Oh there’s one thing that makes me angry
Never fails to raise me ire
It’s when I wake up in the morning
and my hair’s been set on fire, BOYS!
CHORUS:
Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o'er board, watch me drown
Watch the whirlpool suck me down, BOYS!
Hose me down, boys, ho-ose me down
Oh well, I wanted to write a shanty
but I’d never been to sea
though I saw Moby Dick 12 times
And that’s enough fer me, BOYS!
CHORUS
Well I thought I saw a sailboat,
But I really couldn’t say
you see I’ve never seen a sailboat
And it was very far away. BOYS!
CHORUS
Now I’m sailing on a sailboat,
with a captain brave and true
But if you ask me what kind of sailboat
well I haven’t got a clue, BOYS!
CHORUS
Well this ship is mighty crowded,
With a hundred men and me
oh, to live with a hundred sailors
that’s why I went to sea, BOYS!
CHORUS
--------------------
Bully in the Alley
sung by Bob Kotta, Victory Sings at Sea
CHORUS: 2x’s first time
Help me, Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
Help me, Bob, I'm bully in the alley,
Bully down in shinbone al!
Well, Sally is the girl that I love dearly,
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
Sally is the girl that I spliced nearly.
Bully down in shinbone al!
CHORUS
For seven long years I courted Sally,
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
All she did was dilly-dally.
Bully down in shinbone al!
CHORUS
I bought her silks, I bought her laces
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
I took her out to all of the places
Bully down in shinbone al!
CHORUS
So, I'll leave Sal and I'll be a sailor,
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
I'll leave Sal and ship aboard a whaler.
Bully down in shinbone al!
CHORUS
When I come home, I'll marry Sally,
Way, hey, bully in the alley!
We'll have kids and count them by the tally.
Bully down in shinbone al!
CHORUS

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.....????
