  1. Hey let me just say one thing, today's soldier has better weaponry and yet we still go into battle with over a hundred pounds of weaponry and gear not to mention heavy body armor (when supplied.)

  2. to my understanding and with my research,

    Blackbeard DID indeed have a brace with like eight pistols. It was not uncommon to have more than one pistol at the ready when attacking, since the reloading was impossibly long/difficult, they would fire the shots then board....

  3. I got a great axe from http://jas-townsend.com/ and then stained the wood, wrapped the handle with leather and wrapped that with leather cord. I also made a protective cover with left over leather to help protect myself from Faire police (peace tie and all)

    I'll take some pics of my Pirate Dice cup I put together.

  4. I'll post a pic later, when I'm home. But all I really did was take one of the standard replica flintlocks, and wrapped a clothe around it... but the clothe was soaked in a salt water bath for a week... it's kind of cool. I also restained the wood.

  5. 10 Husbands, Still a Virgin

    A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

    On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

    "What?" said the puzzled groom.

    "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

    "Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

    Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

    Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

    Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

    Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

    Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

    Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

    Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

    Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

    Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

    "Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

    "You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

  6. Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl he worked with, but she belonged to someone else.

    One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me have sex with you!"

    The girl said: "NO."

    Johnny said: "I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up."

    She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend.

    She called her boyfriend and told him the story.

    The boyfriend said, "Ask him for $200, then pick up the money very fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down."

    She agreed and accepted the proposal. Half an hour went by and the boyfriend was still waiting for his girlfriend to call.

    Finally after 45 minutes the boyfriend called and asked what happened.

    She said, "The ******* used quarters!"

    Management Lesson: Always consider a business proposal completely, before you agree to get screwed!

  7. For his birthday, little Joe asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $2,800 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it."

    The next day the father saw little Joe heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"

    Little Joe told him; "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $2,800 mortgage & no bike.

  8. I didn't even think about the conquestadors. However, I'd imagine on a rocking ship, I don't know if i'd want to deal with the added burden of the armor. Heck in the army we couldn't stand wearing the vests, but we had more bullets to contend with than a pirate.

  9. Wouldn't really make sense anyway.

    It would proect your chest against a sword, but thats about it. Melee weapons weren't primary, rifles and other small arms were,

    really?

    they usually only had one shot. Granted the Pirates used the cannons more than anything, but once on deck you had about one shot (hence Blackbeards' many guns). I think if the ship they were attacking decided to put up a fight, then it was all swords after one shot, because it took a bit of time/effort to reload a shot.
