No, no... don't so that... It will only go to legal and get shipped back unread. :angry: Too much work for no attention.

I'll sign on... How about a link to yer articles m'dear?? :angry:

I have a wonderful costumer... that uses boning that is dipped in latex so it's firm, yet very flexale and never pokes through! And I agree, teh longer the sodice/corset the better. I am long waisted and have been wearing these things more years then I care to count. And indeed, and Irish overderss IS a much easier alternative! I am in the midst of having a new outfit made that is part Pirate Coat and part skirting. Long in the waist to support me singing, fighting or loving... (did I say that with my outside voice??) Go for a bodice and or overdress made to fit YOU. Get it custom made if you can. You won't be sorry.

Well then haul up a barrel and sit ya down.... Welcome to the Pub. You'll fnid it a friendly harbor with lots to do (mind you keep weather eye on yer purse when in here!) And I'll be after having a Mai Tai if'n you please...

Fair Winds and ample ale fer ye mate! May the day be GREAT!

Happy Birthday Haunting Lily... May every mystical Blessing be yours on the day!

They take some time to do but I enjoy it and the members are very happy with their cards. Joe Hey!! Wait a sec... you mean I could pay to get cards made from that awesome selection you sent me? To pass out here at Disney????? How? How??

Well... I DO Love me Sea Dragon hilt... The pommel is a claw holding a labradorite. And you can post pictures of yer progress here. Sweet! Send me yer mailing address in a PM?

They are both threaded tangs...

Now, Bess, I'm not THAT bad. I was, and still am a very big John Wayne fan. But, I was driving cross-country at that time as a truck driver, and when I was in town, he was just recovering from his valve transplant. I didn't want to disturb him. Just trying to be a nice guy. So that is why I missed out. And yeah, I still regret it to this day! (chuckle) See? Pirates with a heart never prosper! I know it's his reputation... but that man WAS the biggest man I ever saw. He had the hands of a B-Ball player!

[ Thanks for the corrections; Bess which Treasure Island and which Mobey Dick was the Sultan in, and what year was Donavan's Reef? The ship was used in the 1950 Disney version of Treasure Island, it then became the *Sultana* for the BBC TV Show the Buccaners and was then made over for the John Huston film of Mobey Dick in 1956. Donavan's Reef was shot in 1963 You owe me Ice Cream.

May the Sun shine and the Day be GREAT!

Really?? Wow! Cool!... Now I'm not sure which to have adjusted... I love m'Rose and Thorne but I think this Sea Dragon may look more Pyratey... What do you think?? The grip was always a little long fer me but it's the curse of the magnificent hilt cage! Thoughts?

Well let Disney know that there are BIG kids too! Some of us are still trying to get to NeverLand! *Grins* Oh.. I think they know that. One of the reason that the parks lost the Jack characters walking around was that too many women were *stalking* him. They were doing kind of lurid things in front of kids and that was that. (sigh)

At the moment all this is in Florida... AND just for little kids. No Disney Venue will ever let adults come in costumes for security reasons... unless they are hired for a gig. If someone did something bawdy or off color or just plain mean Disney would get the blame and the lawsuit. Control freaks that they are... unless your paid too, costumes are out. I'll not be threr. I will be snug here in CA doing m'own Pirate Faires!

Oh Aye.... I've been looking fer someone to put a shortened cutless blade on my favorite bronze rapier hilt (Custom from Lundgarrd Armory) but have not found anyone I trust enough yet since my wonderful Lars is not producing at the moment. It is precious to me!... (Why does that sound familiar??)

I live to serve... (chuckle)

Okay all you East Coasters with kids... (Wait.... is that Jacky Tar in line???...) The Pirates League sets sail in Magic Kingdom June 29 Walt Disney World Resort Press Release April 27, 2009 Calling all scoundrels, rogues and ne’er-do-wells – Captain Jack and the crew of the Black Pearl want YOU. Starting in late June, the Pearl drops anchor in Adventureland for The Pirates League, recruiting and training park guests of all ages in the scurrilous ways of buccaneers. Each guest checking in at the plunder-filled recruitment office gets an official pirate name. Next step is the Muster Station where – after applications of beards and eye patches, scarves and scars, earrings and gold teeth – the new recruits leave their old identities behind. Past a hidden portal and into the treasure cache, the new shipmates speak the pirate oath and have their official “pirate portrait” taken before being turned loose on an unsuspecting Adventureland – and no doubt feeling right at home at the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Boys, girls and grownups ready for the pirate life start the process by calling 407/WDW-CREW beginning May 11. Packages start at $49.95 plus tax. ---------------------------------------------------------- Yo ho: Pirate makeover coming to Magic Kingdom in June The new Pirates League will try to do for buccaneers what the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique has done for little princesses at Disney World. The attraction, which will open at Magic Kingdom theme park June 29, will perform swashbuckling makeovers. Participants will receive pirate names before receiving a variety of accessories, including beards, eye patches, scarves, scars, earrings and gold teeth. These will be applied by a "veteran pirate" with sea-sailing tales. After taking a sacred oath and an official portrait, guests will be part of Jack Sparrow's gang. There will be three pirate packages. + First Mate Package ($49.95): bandana, choice of facial effects, sword and sheath, pirate coin necklace, 5x7 photo and a "personalized pirate oath." + Empress Package ($49.95): bandana, "shimmering" makeup, sword and sheath, pirate coin necklace, 5x7 photo and a "personalized pirate oath." + Captains Package ($124.95): choice of costume, facial effects, sword and sheath, pirate coin necklace, three 5x7 photos and the personalized oath. The League will be located in the area between the entrance to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and the Pirates Merchandise shop. (Disney says this is currently backstage territory.) But hang tight, mateys: Reservations cannot be made until May 11.

Oh I don't feel too bad about it.. I was too busy being sea sick. And The Wild Goose was an amazing ship. A converted Mine Sweeper. Bad Chain Shot!! Bad!! Bad!!

(chuckle) Oh Piffle.... That's not being amazing, that is just being CELT!

M'self?? Why is that??

Here ya go... I sing with two Pirate bands that do this song.. BILLY BONES Good morning to you Billy Bones, Billy Bones Good Morning to you charming Billy, When I last saw your hands, they were brown as my own, Now up through white fingers the grasses have grown. And what of this cutlass, so carelessly thrown, On the ground, Billy Bones, billy Bones? Chorus: Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones, Send him off to Davy Jones! Of rum and gold and wenches bold, You've had your last fill Billy Bones! Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones Good morning to you charming Billy, That chest that you're laying on once sailed the salt sea, That's why you, I, and Flint'yd agree, To divvy the contents up in to three, Gold and Jewels, Billy Bones, Billy Bones. (Chorus) Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones, Send him off to Davy Jones! Of rum and gold and wenches bold, You've had your last fill Billy Bones! Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones Good morning to you charming Billy, You've done in many a Tar in your day, And sent 'em off to sleep in the bay, Well it looks like turn-about's, Fair Play! At least for today, Billy Bones! (Chorus) Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones, Send him off to Davy Jones! Of rum and gold and wenches bold, You've had your last fill Billy Bones! Good morning to you, Billy Bones, Billy Bones Good morning to you charming Billy, Now old Flint is dead, and that leaves only me, So I'll shovel your bony old arse in the sea, And I'll drink to your health, which you'll never see! Without eyes, without lips, skully bones. (Chorus) Bones, bones, bones, Billy Bones, Send him off to Davy Jones! Of rum and gold and wenches bold, You've had your last fill Billy Bones! (Twice)

Welcome aboard mate.... Hope you find enough here to keep yer interest fer a spell. At least until you can buy the first round!! Set 'em up Joe!
