  1. The following I got over on MySpace from a friend, and I want to share it with everyone, if this is true, it has me a little upset, and will be sending an email to the San Diego Maritime Museum protesting this decision.

    "The San Diego Maritime Museum is dropping pirates from the program and removing the pirate exhibit because they believe that this "piracy craze" is a "dying fad and they want to be ahead of the game". Is that short-sighted or what? Of course, Disney must not know what is going on. They just spent many millions to renovate rides and parts of their attractions on this "dying craze".

    People in pirate costumes will not be welcomed there. Why? Because there are some there who just hate the whole pirate thing saying that pirates were nothing but rapists and pillagers and evil people. But they have no problem with the Minnesota Vikings, SDSU Aztecs, and, my favorite, the USD Conquistadors. Whuh?

    The saddest part of this is that more people will lose their jobs and the kids who come to play pirate will be sorely disappointed and not come back. They may even be made to feel like they are doing something bad and that is totally inappropriate. And I will also spread the word far and wide that the SDMM is NOT a place for kids anymore. Go there if you want to learn some maritime history but stay away if you want to play and have fun.

    I am dropping the SDMM from my friends list and taking out all links from my personal website. They do not deserve my support anymore. They never supported me anyway and made things very difficult. So sad for the kids!

    If you wish to send the SDMM an email protesting this decision you can do so at info@sdmaritime.org.

  2. Here is where haunters get theirs. I got 2 of them quite a few years ago. While they are not perfect, they are great for show. They do weigh approx. 60 lbs each. If you are in a "haunters group" and go to a "gathering" of sorts you may get a great deal on them.

    Boneyard Buckeys

    Aye the Bucky's are what the Stranglehold uses also.

  3. So I was talking with a ren fair friend of mine. It started out like this, I wanted to go to a fair and be apart of it but I don't have my swag yet so my friend was telling me it's very easy to put together a Gypsy outfit.

    Then I told them that I love pirates and don't want to stray from that and they told me Gypsy's are nothing more then pirates of the land. They rob and pillage just the same.

    What do you think about this statement?

    Funny enough I live with some people that are Gypsies for SCA, and they constantly call me a Sea Gypsy. Then I call them land pirates.

    :blink:

    Mark my words though stay away from the Gypsies, they are nothing but trouble, just ask the crew of the Stranglehold.

  4. Me? No I have never attended Estrella, I have attended Potrero, and my crew attends Escondido Ren. Faire.

    Though I should attend Estrella one of these days.

  5. I know there is the Find your pirate name, but it's not what I am looking for. Here is what is up, my roomate is attending a pirate themes bachelorette party and asked me for a list of nauty female pirate names, I swear I remember such a list on here, but can't find it, so does anyone have any suggestions, the more the better.
