Cap'n Pete Straw

See? That's one I got twice. My great-aunt made the best ever homemade sausage gravy, and my grandmother made the best cornbread ever made by human beings. Ever. They have both passed away -- bless their kind, kind souls -- but they each passed on to me these wonderful recipes before they died. And, no, I won't give them to you. My kids get them. Come over to visit, and I will cook them for you -- but stay out of the kitchen.

I was a bit horrified by the scene in whcih Jack, the undead pirate monkey, gets boned (pun intended) by Beppo, the pet super-monkey of Superboy.

Is this "Adult Game"? No... Hmmmm.... Okay then.... "Cream of Wheat"

Rateye, ye can have use of me brass tankard for the day (I prefer only the tin one above it). Ye have to return to me clean -- that's all I ask. I am sure the Faire Nazis will wnt ot know why I am carrying two tankards... maybe I'll make a leather sheathe for the brass one.

Follow!?!? You mean lead don't you? Why do I now envision Cheeky Actress walking backwards everywhere this weekend? I fear ye may be correct... Rats -- did ye yet acquire a decent tankard? I have not been yet to an event where I could acquire another tin one, but I will be happy to bring a good spare to lend ye, if all ye have to choose from is plastic...

Coats and Clark (That's a brand of sewing thread... which you probably all already know.)

I especially like the part when Barbossa gets the OTHER treasure chest that was buried on Isla de los Cruces, opens it to find the bottled City of Kandor, and Supergirl flies out of it... Now I remember recently seeing a picture of that scene where Barbossa meets Supergirl... Where did I put it...?

Charles Dickens' book (about the travelling Lady of the Evening) suddenly comes to mind... "The Sale of Two Titties."

Seriously? Well, a large percentage of pirates could not swim (according to everything I have read). And they often swam only when they had to -- which was when their ship was going down. So I deduce that period correct bathing attire for GAoP would be wearing everything you already have on, and clutching as much gold and other loot as you can lay your hands on. I hope the hotel has lifeguards on duty...

Good heavens, woman! I can see your Terrance and Sabastain! Besides, I shared the information where to find the wealth... not the actual wealth. Did you print out on your computer the discount coupon which you can cash in at the box office, resulting in only a $10 admission? I printed up a few of these (before I learned about the freebee ticket), so I will be happy to share the wealth of these redeemable coupons!

Several things to say.. (1) "...Chicago in the dead of winter. Too cold..."? Give me a break. Winters in Chicago are far easier to survive than navigating through the Strait of Magellan or the disease-infested African coast. What kind of a pirate are ye? Well, apparently, not a Chicago-born one like me... (2) Decisions, decisions. What to wear?? I presume I will do "The Pirate Thing", especially if it was under-represented last year. However, I hope it will not interfere with my attempts to network with the WWII Russian guys. (3) I had more, but I forgot... scratch "Several things" and replace it with "A couple of things"

One of my neighbors called me last night and asked if I, or anyone I know, can use a leftover full-price admission ticket to Bristol this weekend. Hmmm... let me think... oh yeah! ME! Crap! I was all looking forward to saving half-off admission price, and now I have to save the WHOLE THING off. Is that a new line in the Alanis Morrisette "Ironic" song? "Getting a free admission when you were looking forward to redeeming your half-off coupon..." They have packets of Ranch dressing avalable at the Vegetable Tempura booth, and I recall someone has honey-mustard sauce.

TheBlackFox -- thanks for your input... now I have to contact the publishers of "my" magazine to see what happened to my paid subscription...

CORRECTION. It is an online coupon -- you MUST redeem it for a ticket purchased at the Box Office (at the door). Disadvantage: you have to wait in the Box Office line -- no walking straight in the gate. I printed up a few... I only need one.

Oakbrook? Oakbrook! Good Lord, you are probably closer to the Faire than am I! Interstate 94 North to the Wisconsin border; first exit (Russell Road) follow the signs. You have between and hour to a 90 minute drive -- tops. It all depends on how long it takes you to get to the expressway (94). Need further information? Check out their website, which has directions, or PM me. Advance tickets (you can purchase them that same morning online before you leave the house) save you a couple bucks ... AAA card at the door saves you more. ALERT! ALERT! Save $8.95 on admission this final weekend only! See the ONLINE COUPON

So the URL link for the online subscription form mentioned in the first post of this thread is a dead link. But, I notice that The BlackFoxe has a signature box advertising "The Pirate Way." Am I to understand that this is the magazine to which I have subscribed?

For the record, I am NOT packing a lunch. Gonna get all my nourishment from the vendors. (Okay.. the bitterness is wearing off now...) I am working on a cloaking device that shields me from security guards. (sorry... perhaps not all gone yet...) Rateye, I will bring shackles as well as my Queen Anne. However, as stated (elsewhere?) I don't plan on lugging them around all day, so unless we arrive at the same time, you'll have to wait until I leave to see them. The Queen Anne does not have a belt clip, so it is unlikely I will elect to carry it as my sidearm. (I plan to carry as little as possible.)

Hah! I found this thread... I sent a check in for a subscription to this magazine back in March! Now with this thread refreshed, I can compare information between these possibly disparate magazines. Or are they the same....? For the record, I have not received an issue of this magazine, despite having sent in a check for a subscription.
