Iron Bess

(chuckle) 'Tis true enough! Nothing like a bit of extra *wind in yer sails!!*

'Tis beyond Grand Lord Pirate..... ....'tis befittin!!! There be few things stronger in mind and heart then a Wench!

(Psssssssssst!) That heart be stowed next to the CD player. It stirs most rightly when *track 15* comes on to play!! Imagine, a shipload of cannon and ALL named for the wenches!!

I'm not surprised that your class be proud of you Capt'n of the Quills!! Given them a whole new meaning for the term *Old Iron pants!* Great Guns Girl!!!!!

Well now, THAT'S a relief!! I'm after being as comfortable as I can make m'self what with the hot-flashes and all. And I not be speak'n of cannon fire!!

These are wonderful Claire!! And I thankee. Being in a slip so far down South, I'd not get to see such detail for some time! SOOoooo... thar be a cannon named for you now is it?? (chuckle) Sure'n that's an honour to be shoot'n your mouth off over!

Well done!!!! Capt'n lass.... that just MADE m'day!!!!

What say lad??? (Sniff sniff...) Be that the heady scent of skullduggery on the winds?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................

Skivies??? We're.... suppose to wear skivies???

(chuckle) Now, now m'wave tossed scallywag! 'Tis no rope you'll be after need'n. A ships figuirehead is held to her place by the power of her own will. Alrighty.. and maybe a peg or two.

Ahhhhhhhhh... nimble fin's me Pirate Capt'n lad... Nimble fins!!

(chuckle) Ah well Capt'n Claire... who is it now that would be after believe'n the ramblings of a ships figurehead anyhow??

I THOUGHT I'd seen smoke!!

Ahoy Maria... As it stands now I will indeed come ashore for the gathering... We'll talk about the fighting, that all depends on the heat lass, not worth keeling over for!! Where did you have in mind??

Sheesh... how did I misss this post?? I'll be ashore in Ojai Capt'n of the Seven Seas!! Oh, wait... you KNOW that already!!! (chuckle'ng into me hand)

MMMmmmmmmmm.... Nothing like a good blood-line. So, your paper'd are you??

At the moment... Kate Remembered 'Tis a fine book to!! What a woman she was. :)

Hmmmm... favorite films is it now?? ( a mite of chin rubbing) Lets see.... The Lord of the Rings trilogy Field of Dreams Captains Courageous (Anything with Spencer Tracy) The Lion in Winter The Court Jester Becket The Crimson Pirate Donavon's Reef (Okay, most anything with John Wayne) ...I guess there are too many to list here. I just adore the flicker of film and getting lost in the dark of a theatre.

YHooooooooo Hoooooooooo..... Scots/Irish blood..... (cocking a finger in the direction of the Viking)

Hmmmmm.... a Scot is it now?? Well then, there still be a need to speak about this rope business... but as long as the Scot be in his kilt and there be a fair wind....

Rope?? Rope???? You'd hoist and hold m'self in a figureheads place with ropes?? (Spoken from behind me best come hither look knowing that the fists resting on m'hips tell no mistale of my... intentions) If'n it's not the strong arms of a Pirate lad (preferably Celt) that be my anchor ( a brief look skyward)... thankee but I think I'll not come to play. (Ropes indeed! and m'self so easily chaffed!)

AHOY THERE LASS!!! This here be your ship mate, Iron Bess! Got nothing important or deep to say... just happy to see you!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I may try that. It seems the only with the wind in m'face do I NOT get sea sick!! Hold that thought now lad, I may take you up on it one of these days!!

'Tis m'self and no other. The image is m'own, taken for publicity for a TV Pilot I was helping on. I'm still on the prowl for something better.
