Iron Bess

Oh Aye... When I used to travel with all my bladed weaponry, I purchsed a hard shell, locking golf club carrier. It's made for for folks who travel with golf clubs. It fit rapiers and broadsword alike. It was wide enough for the fanciest quillions and it always went through inspection without a hitch. And since my swords are all custom made I was protecting my investments as well. It was well worth the cost and made my life SO much easier when I traveled with all my stuff.

Sweet!!! Well done mate!

Aye... welcome aboard mate. Haul up a barrel and set ya down fer awhile... spin yer tales aa ya please. And I'll be after having a Mai Tai. (Forgit the umbrella. It just takes up more space fer the RUM!

Yer meds are acting up? Oi Lady, perhaps ye should call the doctor... Naw, not as of yet. If the medication gets out of whack it tend to make you *bruise* in the lower extremities. Yer toes and so forth. I just feel kind of hinkey this morning. And cold. If it’s no better by this after noon I’ll heed yer advice Captain S. and give them a call. Thankee for the concern. : )

Oh Gods, don't you HATE that! Been there and done it!

Aye! "tis good to see ye again mate! I'll hope you'll tred the waters around her for some time to come!

Cold. Really cold. My coumadin is acting up,

The BEST Won Ton Soup anywhere (from a little joint across the street from the Studio...) Chicken shiu Mai for starters and Peach Champagne with Strawberries. (sigh) After that we watch BONES!

There was an interesting discussion about pyrates recently on a reenacting board. It opened my mind to the idea that some people could find this hobby offensive; somewhat similarly I suppose to how I would react to a group of people playing at being SS partying after a day at the camps. Still, I think that's the rare occasion. Offensive?? To kidnap and ravage and not give a hoot? Explain some people to me, will ya?

"Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?" How did YOU get into the Team Disney building??

Now, let's see some cards, guys! okay... here's mine! (Ducking and running like H E double toothpicks!)

Ahhhhh!! And m'self in a drunken stupper yesterday and missed the grand event! I hope the day was everything a lad would wish!!

"Sisters... Sisters... there were never such devoted Sisters.."

Well, well... congrates and Blessing upon you both. May the sun shine and the Day be Great!

Noooo... I meant of the ones you want to sell under the table. Or do you mean you are selling those? If so, one is sold my girl...! What is the total length of the cane and what is the sword length?

Looks like a hidden Mickey to me!

Welcome back to port mate..... And I'll be after have'n a Mai Tai if ya please.

Throw him into bed with the Captains Daughter.... Have you SEEN the Captains daughter?... There she goes, swing'n through the rigg'n....

OOooooooh..... Well that explain allot! One of my books suggests that instinctive responses never get farther than the spinal chord. If I remember it rightly, they were talking specifically about why you draw your hand back so quickly from a hot stove burner. Sort of like a computer network, the sensation is routed right from the point of contact to the spinal chord and back to the muscles required to move your arm without ever hitting the brain. It does get to the brain after that, though. The brain, as near as can be discerned at this point in time, is composed of several levels, some of which are quite 'old' in the development of humanity. Many of these we share with many animals that have some higher functions. I meant.... it explains allot about what goes on around here.

(Research suggests many such instinctual responses occur either without the assistance of the brain or at the lower levels of it which we share with animals.) OOooooooh..... Well that explain allot!
