"I'll thank you to stay your interest in the management of my inn... and mind you stay that knife too." (I hope the pub's background color/graphics don't change any time soon. lol)

I think we may get our kids into power lifting so they'll have the option of live firing swivel guns from the hip when they get older. "It must be mounted on a tripod!" - F.Wagner aka Cmdr Mohr The Wild Bunch (1969)

Thanks POD. Is the creature on the right the Franklin Mint replica?

The recently acquired card game from Mister Pace featuring the colorful graphics by Don Maitz. Now, if we can figure out how it's played...

Favorite quote from this production... "Whaddya' go an' give me crabs for?!" - (Oderlesseye addressing Sea Hag)

"COMPANIONWAY" "POOL.......table" You lost me. Rack 'em!

I can't believe none of these hot barreled cannoneers want to brag about their tools.

I can't believe nobody's touched this...

Astronomy

Indeed. (And one more excuse to stay upwind.)

Thanks for posting Mister D!

On behalf of all the Johnny-come-latelies, thank you Mister Tudor and all the other crusty veterans who've kept this thing afloat!

Happy belated Mister B. (We were going to repost the ant cake since nobody's touched it but how can one compete with that bacon thing?)

Mission - thanks for posting. Have never seen the image at that size. IMHO object in question looks like a quick artistic rendering of a matchlock musket.

"Beaver... pelt... whack" Enough foreplay! I'm going with... skewered as in... "I'd hate to see the likes o' you skewered on the end of a pike."

Ha! You're really trying to get us into trouble here aren't you?

"I have a re-enacting shoe fetish.... so to speak. I really feel that shoes are the achilles heal of re-enacting because they are not flashy or sexy like a sword, coat, or pistol and are often overlooked by the re-enactor. I always seem to judge a living historian by the shoes that they wear, because it usually is an indicator (for me) as to that persons' attention to detail. ..." - Greg aka Gentleman of Fortune, Pyracy.com (2004) (Above) A snapshot of footwear we're working on including round & square toes, smooth, rough & suede surfaces. Some in the process of conversion, other pieces awaiting the knife, dye, restitching & contact cement. While these were sitting in the kitchen awaiting transfer to a better light source for the photo, our youngest lubber asks mom... "What are were going to do with all these shoes?" Her response... "We're going to boil them and make soup." Also in the pic is a copy of The Romance of the Shoe in honor of Gentleman of Fortune's shoe fetish comment. In actuality, the book provides very little in the way of GAOP reference material. Published in 1922, (some years before google) it includes info on latchet shoes and riding boots in the mid 1600's and a brief mention of early 18th century wear.. "Under the early Georges a square-toed, buckled shoe was worn by gentlemen. Of ladies' shoes of the period there are fine collections in the London, Victoria and Albert [PL 29] and Northampton Museums... " Interesting but obviously not the sort of detailed info one needs as a foundation for a period impression.

Aye. Or perhaps there was a surplus?

He is a card!
