Well, I can bring coffee a plenty! I AM the starbucks hookup!

Thanks guys! Your suggestions give me some starting points. I'm still not 100% decided yet, due only to the fact that I have to do some research on events around the year, so I can lead up to it properly Anyway . . . ta very much

make no diffrence to me, being *cough*underage*cough* - just means less people to hit up for a drink . . .

Okay - imagination doing scary things now. To save us all from being pelted by angry monkies . . . takes long chug . . . start up the band, this dance is on me!

Ewww, pissed off monkeys . . . scary sight that . . . but plenty of fun if the juggler drops them!

I'll be the one dressed as a pirate

Hello all! Just a matter of indesicion here that maybe you all can help with. A book i'm working on writing right now needs some timeline reconstruction, and I need to pick a year in the golden age of piracy. I'm thinking of the years a la Pirates of the Carribean, but that seemed rather non-committal on the exact year. What I really need is an exact year during the Golden Age of Piracy, closer to the end of the middle, just so I can get all the historical details correct, y'know, like royalty, wars, countries borders and the like.

Well, I can dance, but only if i got someone who knows a step or two to dance with me. Any volunteers? . . . if not, I'll just take a bowl of gumbo, some more booze and a corner table where i can lurk ominously and make everyone think I have a hit out on them.

the pics are nice, but a littel too . . . i dunno - flowery I suppose. Anyway,, I'd do something more along the lines of a captain's cabin (A la the cabin of the Black Pearl. Just watch the movie for pictures) Hang cutlasses on the walls, chests of gold loitering about, treasure maps lying around, that sort of thing. . . . Dang, now you have me wanting to redo my room.

I'll drink to that! Here's to highlanders, and what they have under the kilt!

PyratePhil - I think I speak for all the wenches that plan on being there when I say that not only will we give you our moral (or should that be immoral? ) and stauesque support, but some of us might just strap on some sharp and shinies and take a wack at the blighter ourselves! . . . no one screws with pirates and lives to repeat the mistake . . .

Well, I'm just starting to learn stage combat and I'm not quite sure what we're going to be using sword wise - I'll have toask the instructor for details. I would love to learn more though, so I can stay in character with personna. I'm thinking some french style as well as some plain old cutlass brandishing. Just have to find someone to teach me is all . . .

Now that is what I call a damn good floor show!

Kilts and Killing? WHERE? Count me in!

What can I say - I have high-brow tastes

Or perhaps, it is refering, indeed to the chest of gold upon which the dead Barbossa is laying . . . hmmm, interesting?

If ye cannot get your hands ony any madeira, port would work just as fine . . . I'm not too pickey

Would you happen to have any Madeira around? I realise this is Portugeese and not Spanish - but what the hell, it's close enough!

Also gotta love that a three day pass only costs as much as a single ticket to the PARF! Looks like a total blast - I might just have to make it a road trip!

I might just get to go - if I can get off work and get a ride - only about an hour 45 to 2 hours from me home! Yeah! New places to go!

Sure, we do the picking we just let you think you had the idea . . . good for your egos 'Course, I've picked quite a few, but no one seems to have informed them yet!

Oh yes, sooo true . . . You might also be a pirate if you take serious offence whenever someone says pirates don't exist anymore! Grr! It makes me mad!

Ah, yes, fond memories of buying toys on the Pirate Ship, walking past the Swashbuckler's Brew pub, hanging around with a certain pirate . . . I think I'm going to cry . . . I miss it all so much!! I too shall be there for Fling if I have to take off work now!

MercenaryWench, you a PARF local? Don't believe I've 'ad the pleasure. Not too many of us Preemptive Salvage Engineers at PARF, so mebbe I'd know ye if'n I saw ye. PARF local, but only just started going this past season. Yeah, hung around the Pirate's cove for the last 4 or so weeks of the faire. I'm suppossing that you're stuck - er, um, from around this area too

Well, here's to hoping that once you find a good one ye won't end up setting her aside for another tomato - just outta habit. Goodness knows, there are many out there like me, looking for a lad to pick 'em and put them in a bag and take them home . . .
