I'd just like to point out that Drunken Lullabyes be pretty pirate too!

The Duchess

Nice hat Toe Cutter! I do agree that a fest or faire of some sort be the best way to buy. That way you can try things on sample the compliments, and generally feel special for giving up the hard won cash. It makes a better experience over all than the internet...

Here's to cats! Mine has taken to eating my plumes and sleeping on me chain maille.

I'm on the Palouse. I was listening to Northwest Public Radio, to the Inland Folk program when I caught the end of the announcement. I suspect that this is for something on the other side of the state, but I am holding out for something interesting a little closer to me. :) And since I don't know for sure where the Round Table Restaurant is, I thought I would ask here.

The Duchess

The attitude is the thing...

Me Mum once had some advice for me. "If everthing sucks, and everyone treats you badly. It might be time to consider that the problem really is you."

So build the house and play the golf and damned be the nay sayers!

The Duchess

why is it they never get Capt. Sparrow's hat just right?

....OH i cant wait tills me gets me Straw hat!

Probably because when they started making/selling those hats there was no "Captain Sparrow." A little movie, a little name change, a little price hike...lots of clones.

The Duchess

*watches the joke fly over his head*

I'm glad someone appreciated that...

I'm always an advocate of Excalibur Leather. I bought a cavalier hat probably ten years ago. They are very sturdy and age very well. http://www.excaliburleather.com/

Actually the hat I bought, now that I look at the website is closer to the butch cassidy style with a wider brim.

The Duchess

So, in my brand new location, was listening to the NWPR to a show called Inland Folk. I came in at the tale end of an announcement about Sea Shanty Sing Along at a restuarant called the Round Table. Unfortunately I don't know where it is located or when it happens. Does anyone know more about this?

The Duchess

yes, the perks of a ballish home of putting

or would that be "Putting up a home of ballish perks?"

I wasn't looking for pirate boots, this time out. My engineer boots have died and been summarily burried, so I am after a replacement pair. They do make, for some extraordinary amount of money, thigh high boots that can be folded down. I believe the website is www.westcoastshoe.com. However while it was up last night, I cannot make it come up today. Hmm...

The Duchess

Fells point is in Baltimore. alot of old ship yards and water front bars and hotels....

Alas, the wrong coast for me. I do wish you all great fun.

The Duchess

Near me old home there was certain mega mall. On the third floor was certain miniature golf course. Which just happened to over look a certain indoor amusement park...all of which I was escorted out of. :)

The Duchess

Anyone familar with Wesco boots? Comfy? How do they run for size?

The Duchess

So where is Fell's Point? for geography-challenged...

The Duchess

Please do share the link when you find it. It was at the MNRF that I worked for five wonderful years, and two more that weren't. I bought my jack from Mac 12 years ago, when my first pewter mug took the swan dive from the balcony of our stage/booth. Oddly enough, the same swan dive I took that crushed my jack. But, leather is just so much more durable... I missed the MNRF this year, as I've moved to Washington. It was Mac's widow who resealed my mug, the last time I had it done.

thanks

The Duchess

No no no... The tiny little hole just be the cover. This is an opportunity to direct high speed small hard objects in crowds of unsuspecting people...

"oops my bad *giggle* I just so awful at this..."

The Duchess

Aye, Jack o' the drinking kind. I've no need, so far, for armour...

Buzzard's Nest? Do they have a website? Tis always nice to have a back up plan in case of eventualities.

The Duchess

Aye, that was indeed my point. And though my dear leather jack is truely irreplacable, it isn't worth much to me, if I'm not using it.

If it were living on a shelf, I'd have to dust it. Instead, drink goes in and drink goes out, and it is never needing dusting. Though it did need some reshaping after I fell 15' to flatten it with me backside. :)

The Duchess

With the temporary tat's, apply them a few days before you intend to show them off. A little aging and the gloss is gone, they'll look fairly real, even the four color sort.

Well the truth o' the matter is that if you have a functional piece of equipment, you must simply accept that something unwelcome might come to it. Trust that everything is replaceable, and the replacement might even be better than the original! O'course this don't apply to me leather jack, since Mac be dead, and no others make any so nice...

The Duchess

Plundering the Palouse it is, indeed!

The only truely unfortunate part about is that I traded one land locked home for another, half a country away. Though truth be told, the coasts are to populated for me own comfort. So the Palouse and more schooln' it is for me.

The Duchess

Perhaps the requirement is that some where some time, you've been with out the internet for more than a week...

are not we all 16 years of age and 36-24-36 on this ye' ole internet?

:)

The Duchess

Arrr!

I have a small crew of about ten people but none of them R girls.

If ye be young and wish to join, let me know

Capt. Phil

"Take what ye can, Give nothin back!"

What if I be medium, and do not wish to join any group who would have me?

P'raps I spoke to soon about a return!

For the journey, it began with a degree pilfered last fall. Then with much time at hand, I took on a volunteer project to plan a large event. At said event a friend of mine died doing something he was very skilled at doing, at my behest, in front of several thousand people, though it was no fault of his. Realizing it could have been me, I went to Florida to procure some more flight training. Then to northern wisconsin for a little art camp in the woods, some camping out in Montanna. And now in the unfortunately Inland Northwest, I'm back on the degree path, thinking that something else might be nicer, as the proverbial sailing is certainly not smooth.

It is good to see so many familar names!
