Iron Bess

Aye lad, I knew you be speaking of the Original nd despite what SOME thinks... I was not around to see that one!! (Close though, mightly close!!)

Oooooooooooooh, the Golden Hinde. (sniff) I have fond memories of her, very fond. She was used as the BLARNEY COCK in the film Swashbuckler. What a wonderful, wonderful ship. She syill berthed up in Frisco?? (Huge sigh)

OOOOooooooooooooooooo!!! And a figurehead!!! :) What a project but what a wonderous idea! Have you a projected finish date lass?

Ahhhh... a woman with skills!!!!! :) We've a fair need of a lass that can sew a seam!! (The body bags, they be pile'n up on Royaliste's decks don't ya know.) Welcome lass, welcome to the delightful madness.

It be wooden eh???... (Shiver) Coo! I HATES splinters!!

Well... There goes the Piratical neighborhood!!

I got mine out at Disneyland. I suppose.... I could take orders. Might be awhile before I get out there again though. Maybe a month?

So.... your saying that the sight of your ships figurehead hurling her lunch off the bow of yer ship would... be detrimental to the Royaliste's reputation huh??? Hmmmmmm. You may be right!!

What wonderous pictures!!! I can smell the salt aire even here in smog shrouded Burbank. Claire, you've an artisit's eye without peer! (even felt a twinge of sea sick!)

Huh???

Well Humph!!.... You laugh now!! Wait until you have one flying from YOUR rig!! :)

It is kinda. It's a black Mickey type antenna ball with a skull face, a tri corner hat with a skull and crossbones on it and a red bandana. If it only played Yo Ho Ho it would be near to perfect!

Hmmmm... I have an antenna ball from POTC. Does that count??

Oh well Poison darl'n... It's all in knowing how to *catch* yer self should you begin to topple!

Talent and balance lass.... Talent.... and balance.

The rounds on you is it?? Well then, I'm after have'n ice cream too!!

Well now... I was just wonder'n 'bout all the fuss. Stout guns are they? Worth the powder to blow them to... Ahh well, you know!! Parley indeed!

Spoken like a Capt'n with a sturdy keel!! Mate's, it's important to remember that one member does not speak for an entire guild.... and I m'self, do believe that what was said was meant with a smack of Piratical thunder and was really meant to arouse some fun and theatrical squabble, not an all out war of personal attacks or name calling. So let's bury the cutlass and get back to the business of Ojai!! Now Capt'n of the Sturdy Keel... about those *pop guns* you'll be hauling into town.....

(Ahem...) I would simply like to point out that, as any Pirate knows... SIZE DOSEN'T MATTER!!!

You mean the SYNTH is gone!!! WHOOOHA!!!!! It was driving me ..... Thank you sir!

Maybe... a sea-going suit of armor. Yo Ho!!!

Now, now.... You blow me out of me bodice good sir and you'll put someone's eye out!!! Maybe BOTH eyes!!

(Ahem...) "Shift yer cargo deary.. no need to expose your super structure!"

YO HO HO!!!... Nothing like a good, firm keel. :)
