  1. Pirates have many nations of origin and cover a vast period of time including the 21st century. I think you may find during your research many conflicting stories. I suggest that more then one source for the term "Jolly Roger" is likely to be the truth since languages get rearranged as time passes. I know of an island named "Bois Blanc" which is french for White Wood. The current residents of Bois Blanc pronounce it "Boblo" You may find that a strange way of pronouncing it but they think nothing of it at all. It has been that way so long they take offence when it is pronounced properly. Just a thought!

    Now I be Jolly Roger the Red so I be leanin heavy towards the "No Quarter" Flag and I be called "Old" many a time so if'n ye be thinkin me the devil; Thinks what yer will says I. What say You? ;)

  2. I've been to Hollygrove ( Michigan Ren Fest grounds) and found it most amusing! Pirate Weekend is over Labor Day this year but every weekend has a great theme. Free parking but tis a bit of a walk. Open 10am to 7pm Rain or Shine. Many food and beverage stands to choose from. Please make time to watch the Ded Bob Show. It's the best!! :wacko::huh:

    If you Google ( Holly Festival) it will list the website. I can't remember it right now. Been hit in the head once too often I guess. I plan on going again this year if I can get a weekend off. My daughter has gone often and it is allows a great time.
