historyfool24

one thing i dont understand is the "mark". Is it like the black spot? And does this still have to do with the Aztec Gold from the first one, and is Davy a squid or is that just a werid beard (for some reason it appears really dark on my screen, even when i turn up my screens brightness).

but no matter what, this summer is going be amazing. and now they are filming part 3 (imdb.com). :)

so i cant wait

mine is nice and simple

history = its what i love

fool = see above

24 = favorite tv show

:)

I remeber when I was a wee little pirate (around the age of 8 or 9) my pirates rented a cabin in Cape Cod and when we went in town, there was this tour called "Pirate Cruise" or something like that. It was a fake sailboat, a motorboat with a sail boat body, but the sweet thing is that they had a sister company that would take kids out as the British navy. And so half way through the journey, the captain would said man the guns and we would fire upon the ship, now not with real guns but with Super Soaker cannons. It was super fun time, so i was wondering if anyone has been to Cape Cod in the last 8 years and if this company was still running. Becuase it was part of my childhood and i hope they are still a successful business.

-also-

If anyone is going to Hilton Head Island be on the look out for Pirate Cove Mini-Golf its near Adventure Cove family fun center.

Adventure Cove

18 Folly Field Rd Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

and if you go down the street there will be this hotel and next to that is Pirate Mini Golf...always a good time fore (get it) all

Aye

Aye...lets have a round just for the info. Alas mine shall be non-alcholic..damn i am not 21.

but STILL..i will buy a round for everyone

it is lawsuits like this that slow down our legal system to a slugs pace. Disney beat him to a punch..get over it .

Also..POTC is a better title then anyting with Bimbos..not saying Bimbos are a bad thing but i would rather a pirate movie have a better title.

argg it makes me mad

Man..it has been foooorrrreeevvveer since i last saw the goonies

actually it could have been last year but due to mind numbing amounts of video games, movies,computers,redbull,bawls, mountain dew and of course my high levels of ADD. My rate of rembering these goes to about as far as last summer. Arrg tis be sad but tis be the truth of the youth of america.

arrgggg damn you technology

hahaha its shooting a gun...sry random..see what i mean

For those who cant wait for POTC2...then (bear with me here) is a movie for you. Now we all know, pirates are only at sea but what about a land "pirate".

well, the movie is NED KELLY

with Orlando Bloom and Jeffery Rush

and an little extra bonus

the soundtrack is by the same genius as the POTC soundtrack

i loved it but remeber i am daffy for australia

May not be a pirate book but I am still reading ( but it is so good, i have to tell someone) Bill Bryson's In a Sunburnt Country. Amazing book about the guys journeys around Australia. And those who know me, know that i am daffy for everything Australia.

Ok..some may say this is worthless topic. But does anyone really care...if so..then sorry..if not keep reading.

I may be the youngest here at the ripe old age of 18. So I was wondering if there is anyone who is 20 or younger here. Just curious...

and for those over 20, i am not saying your old, i am just saying that i am young...

* tis not be ale, for US law ye be 21 to drink..so tis be cola in my mug...damn laws

"Pirate's Life For Me" did ye say? Ye like that song? Ye think ye have even heard that song? Let me tell ye about it.

I have wanted to share this somewhere in this BB, but have not found the best place. I hesitated to start a new thread, but perhaps this is as good a place as any.

A million years ago (30? More?) when I was a kid, my parents took us to Disney World in Florida. Blah, blah, blah, a hundred stories.... but at one point, they gave my sister and I a handful of ride tickets, told us to go nuts for an hour, and meet us at a particular rendesvous point.

I made a beeline for "The Pirates of the Carribean" which had just opened to the public for the very first time that morning. I was to be among the very first people to ever go on that ride! I was so excited! Skeleton pirates, animatronic fighting pirates, ships fighting stormy seas in the distance -- to this day, many of the images from the first half of the ride remain burned into my memory, even though you might think the average person would have forgotten them... because...

...the little boats in which we were riding came out of the tunnel, into a pirate town! Singing drunken pirates! Drunken pirates cuddling happy pigs! Drunks precariously balanced on top of casks! Singing! Everywhere singing "Yo, ho! Yo, ho! A pirate's life for me!"

I was blown away by the majesty of the room. It was fantastic! I was even impressed when they stopped the boats, so that we were able to sit in the room and listen to the song -- the whole song, again and again. And again. And again. AND AGAIN And it repeated on a never-ending loop, over and over and over and over...

And then the adults on the ride began to complain, and it was clear that we were not supposed to be stopped. After all, some of the boats were only a few feet ahead inside the next tunnel, with nothing to look at, which seemed boring to me.. at least we had something to listen to.... but that song gets REAL boring after awhile. And we were there for quite awhile.

Anyway, we were stuck in that room for over an hour. On my watch I was able to monitor the deadline with my parents approach and pass. And still I listened to that song. That damned song.

Eventually, a bunch of park workers waded into the ride and pulled the boats out, one at a time. The ones in the back they pulled backwards out the entrance, but we were just over the halfway point, I guess, because we were the last boat to be pulled out the exit.

The ride was then closed down, and I do not know when they reopened it. Security had been alerted to my absence, my parents freaked out and everyone searched for me all afternoon. After not being able to find my family, I simply used up the rest of my tickets on other rides, and then simply went back to the hotel room, where they found me later. (My Dad was pissed! He checked my story, and apparently got a very hearthy apology from park staff, and I think a free family meal out of the deal)

Many (many!) years later, when I started renting Disney Sing-A-Long videos for my kids, one had the "It's a Pirate's Life For Me" song on it, and I was amazed how many o f the lyrics I still had burned into the back of my brain.

I dont know if i should feel sorry or just glad that you still like the song.....i been to walt disnery world almost 17 times ( i am spoiled i know) and the one and ONLY ONE reason why i still go to the Magic Kingdom is for POTC: the ride. Nothing beats to this day. I think my record is 15x in a row..there was no line. Anyway..great story and i am glad that your kids are being exposed to Pirates at a young age, i discover my love for all things pirates till high school...or now because i still be in high school. But yes to sum it all up...GREAT STORY

hmmm..i have seen a pirate commerical that involes a delievry company but it was a candaian one that i cant remeber...i just saw the tale end of it and it also involed a job search or something along those lines. But the end the superivior said " what would you (the pirate) bring to this company"...the pirate then shrugs and says " Aye Punder booty well i can" and the response from the supivisor is we dont plunder we just deliver....pretty cheap ( and bad) commerical but hey it had a pirate in it.

There is that taco bell commerical for the states that at the ends with this

Pirate: what are you?

random guy; I am full

Pirate: arrgghh..yeah....i am a pirate

but now i am going to be on the look out for this fed-ex one

well nothing beats " Yo Ho a pirates life for me" from The Pirates of the Carribean ride in Orlando/Cali

but i like Seven Deadly Sins by Flogging Molly, and even though i mostly listen to techno, i still have to listen to Flogging Molly, they are amazing and i hope they come to Cincinnati soon.

I went to Australia and New Zealand over the summer and it was amazing. when i was in Syndey about to climb the sydney bridge ( amazing a must if you go) i saw next to Captain Cook charater tours was a man dressed like Tim Curry from Muppets Treasure Island, he was adversting a Pirate themed tour of the Australian coast. It was about 300 $AUS for two, i think, but it sounds like fun. Then in Auckland, New Zealand, at the nautical muesum they talked about Maori "pirates". So it was just great seeing pirate-like history from other places then the Spainish main.

also, i was wondering if anyone has been to Austalia/New Zealand? and would like to talk about what they saw there.

Aye...anything pirate themed is sweet, but alas it is hip-hop...damn..so close to a perfect video.

But Gwen looks great, she is a really sexy pirate.
