Cut-throat

Thank you all very much. Rum all around !!!!

Happy Birthday, mate. Drink up me hearty !

I had an AMAZING time. I think I was kicking and screaming when it was time to leave. Sea turtles, baracudas, iguanas on the beach, scuba diving, sun and sand. If it weren't for my family that I adore, there would have been no reason to return home.

*blushes*

Thank you so much. You are TOO kind.

....As promised....just some teaser pics.....

Here's me on the ship, casino deck:

My beautiful bride relaxing:

Halfmoon Cay (a one time pirate refuge):

St. Thomas:

Blackbeard's Castle, St. Thomas:

The flag at the top of the castle:

Thank you so much m'ladies ! I just got back from an amazing trip in the Caribbean. Pics will follow shortly.....I promise.

Wasn't Teach from Bristol ? If so, they should find someone from there so at least the accent is correct.

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, aye ?

"...red Lead mixt with Water...." No thank you.

That is classic. The corruption of words is funny. Like the corruption of the ship's "purser" to the slang "pusser".

I think using dog as a curse word would have to be used in a VERY extreme context nowadays. People throw around the word dog and use it far too loosely.....look at Randy Jackson Everyone is a dog to him.

It's one of those songs that you can't seem to get out of your head.....and you don't even want to.

If it is legit, I hope it's a hell of a lot better than that bilge they put out on the Hallmark channel. I should have known better just by the name Hallmark......ugh, Blackbeard being reduced to a greeting card production.

Hey, why not ? A coat worked for Miss. Knightly !

If that's the case for you, Capt'n, then you should watch Transylvania 6-5000. She's wearing next to nothing throughout the entire film.

Wow, LadyBarbossa, that coat looks great. Very regal !

That is really cool. And again, your work looks great !

Was that an historcal site or was it someone's reproductions ? Either way, your's looks amazing !

I have to agree with the Hallmark "Blackbeard" sucking. It was horrible. But I have to disagree with Pirates of the Caribbean 2-3. I loved them. Plus, they weren't trying to come across as an actual hisorical piece like Hallmarkbeard was.

As for Cutthroat Island....come on, it's fun to watch if you are not too uptight. I mean, Gena Davis as a pirate ? I cracked up at the thought of the nympho vampire Odette from Transylvania 6-5000 playing a pirate captain.

Some color inside the lines, others like to color outside the lines, still others like to blur the them. I'm always on the side of the last two.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not crappin' on people that own live ammo, I happen to have a cache myself (and living in California...yikes ). I was just referring to those that improperly store it and thus, put firefighters lives at risk in the event of a fire.

I happen to agree with your opinion, Gunner. My father has been a firefighter with the Orange County Fire Authority (way back before it was the "Authority", when it was just the Department), for over 30 years.

And he is still on active duty.

I would hate to even think about a situation where my father would have to enter a burning structure where live ammunition and explosives are kept by an irresponsible person.

You might want to PM BlackJohn regarding it. I know he has a slew of amazing pictures of the Whydah salvage items....either that, or he knows where to get them.

Those pipes are incredible. They are far better than the ones I have seen in the past. Good find, Oderless. Thanks. I'm going to look into getting me one.

I wanted to take a poll to see if people like the idea of me making the eye with a fork in it. That, or just making them into keychains. What do you guys and gals think ?

Any way to get a picture of him holdin' it ?

Why thank you, Lady !
