I have wondered if their are any known pirates of GAOP that wore a kilt other than Captain Kidd ? If so ...where may I find documentation for this.. I have entertained the idea of doing such an impression.

happy Birth day to ye Patrick..

we roll with the high seas ~

"What is needed to encourage reenactors to come to an event" 1) Supply a fun and safe environment to interact with the public. Safety First ! 2) Providing activities that directly involve my participation in entertaining the public 3) A safe place for black powder demonstrations/ mock battles 4) being ''Gated" as part of compensation of my personal cost. Reasons Eye come to an event : 1) I come to hang with me friends first. 2) the draw is to be a part of the event as a participant and not a visitor.. - though being a visitor has its perks like freedom to roam and not have to be at a place a certain time.(What Mission Said) 3)Tall ships to Jolly Boats ..Eye want to be on a ship/boat shooting black powder be it cannon of gun. 4) A chance to be in garb to be my alter ego.

Finally Got My Fop On ! Inspired by the movie Rob Roy

Spanish Dollars did exist.. for close to seven centuries. However eye am curious to know about the vernacular of the day that was largely influenced by the Spain, France, England, and the Dutch. Where the "Real de a ocho" or Eight REAL other wise known as a Piece of Eight was the main denomination used in the West Indies during the GAOP. I am not ready to accept the word "Dollar" pronounced dólar in Spanish, had crossed from Spanish to English lips PERVASIVELY during the GAOP untill Eye find proof of that. I have since done some home work and have found that the use of the word would not have been referencing to Spanish money.

Eye was speaking to the vernacular use of the word "Dollar" My Bad.. see post below.

Eye saw the first episode as well... at ComicCon San Diego 1) No one wears a tri-corn or thrump cap ( However not ever one in the film should be wearing one either) 2) The Reference to Money was plain wrong.. There is no such thing as a Spanish Dollar...! hEHE Eye talked to one of the producers.. They are very much aware of the mistake and will correct it in future episodes... He said they are in a learning curve. 3) The depiction of the shore of Nassau was very impressive to me.. 4) The violence in this was a bit over the top for me.. almost inhuman as to the amount of beating any one could ever take in reality. 5) They have built a real sailing vessel and some partial ones for sets.. Not all of it is CG.. Good thing! 6) Eye will be subscribing to Starz to catch the rest of this series..

Awesome !

Eye saw the first episode of "Black Sails" during Comic Con.. Here in San Diego... Some of the authentic is lost ...especially when they refer to the monitary system.. And Black Beard was a laugh! As to waning interest.. crickets...

Plunder bunnies maybe too incompetent to slake their lust.. ?

Eye order it along time ago but the format was European and wold not play in my DVD player ..

Eye have been still active in the steam punk genre and as such have been getting picture here and there.. Eye just came up with this to communicate time travel.
