Barbados Sam

I play bass guitar. I have a Yamaha BB400 that I learned on, a Conklin 4 string and a Warwick 4 string fretless is what I play now. I've also written music and have co-written and produced a CD of original music with a former band-mate. You can check out the tracks by visiting CDBABY.COM and searching for Until Further Notice by No Agenda.

Aye...the best balls he hit all day were when he stepped on a rake......

Clearly the lad needs to work on his swing if he is slicing all the time

Thar not be fit fer postin' here mate.......

I don't have a perching pet, but if I did, it would be a monkey. From a pirate point of view, a monkey could be trained to pilfer an' plunder quite nicely. Much more practical.

They tried to do a historically accurate dress code at Hellrona, but everyone still did their own thing. I mean...hello...pirate!!!! Afterall, they're really more like guidelines aren't they? Personally what I get out of Ren Faires isn't a history lesson as much as an opportunity to meet some exceptionally nice people who for the most part really get into the spirit of the event and are there to have a good time. I'm with Petee on this one.....if there's a faire and I'm goin'...then there will be pirates about!!! Huzzah

Rummy luv, yer poem left me all warm an' fuzzy....jes like yer hugs As fer catagories, you be in a catagory all by yerself lass....howz about Best Yummy Rummy?

Me wife Experience an' I had ta' pleasure o' tossin' back a mug o' Diego's grog......tastes so good it's dangerous!!!!

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you" She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive." "Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me." She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic." The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic! OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfils the cab driver's fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. Then to his astonishment, the nun unzipps his pants and gives him the best head he's ever had. When they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. "My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?" "Forgive me but I have sinned. I lied.........and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish." The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a gay costume party!"

Mate, ye were but a few feet away.....distracted ye were....probably from yer special grog.....I knows I was

Aye Rummy, I'll get the photos in question ta me mate Killian tonight.

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy: "I have a baseball." "That's nice. "Want to buy it?" Man: "No, thanks." Boy: "My dad's outside." Man: "OK, how much?" Boy: "$250" In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together again. Boy: "Dark in here." Man: "Yes, it is." Boy: "I have a baseball glove." The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?" Boy: "$750" Man: "Sold." A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove, let's go outside and have a game of catch." The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my glove." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" Boy: "$1,000" The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that .. that is way more than those two things cost. It's almost like stealing. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess." They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Don't start that shit again, you're in my closet now."

A lady walks into a drug store and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide. The pharmacist said, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes got big and he said, "Lord have mercy", I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license, and they'll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely not, you can NOT have any cyanide!" Then the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well, Hell, you didn't tell me you had a prescription."
