Capt. Sterling

Been hearing from others.. they wish to know why the OL has its own public thread and wish for it to be moved to the Crews forum...which would make sense...

**

What, pray tell....

Whew... thank God I live West of Richmond...

As always, tis grand being able to work with ye lot from the Vigilant...looking forward to seeing ye all at Hampton and "the Pool"

So far seems there is no know reason as to why they were called that... but they were also called Leek buttons http://www.employees.org/~cathy/buttons.html scroll down to 5d Mission, I believe there used to be a discussion on this some where in Twill...feel free to move my post there, if you are interested enough in finding it...thanks

Great meeting up with you and yours.

Afraid not...no cameras in our camp, besides everyone was too busy to take photos. Poppa might have a few, we shall see.

With the Bounty Crew's company, twas the best schuttle hatch competition, I have yet seen... and of course, as always Grace was on a roll...

It didn't?

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry so late

Oi keep playing my favorite tune and I shall always turn a blind eye to the rest of yer antics.. it was truly good to have a moment to chat instead of just interrupting yer fine playing in order to read aloud the local laws of what ever port we currently find ourselves...twas grand and hope to see ye all again soon.

Oh I have plenty of that...

No pay until he's hanged, but well done, none the less.... yer off to a note worthy start...

Ye little bastard... I mean... ahem... son... damnation...do not tell the wife, I am currently trying to get back in her good graces...

Sound off.... home, migraine still raging...but a quick and heartfelt thanks to my Angels, Captain McGuyver and yer Lovely Lady, Klaus, Talderoy and a special thanks to Matt and Stynky...

It was a pleasure meeting you and watching you operate...well done and glad to have ye about.

Well let us hope for the best as I am sure many of us would love to see the bits left out...

A-singing, Eye patches, peglegs, and parrots, People who wear them should be lined up and then shot! I don't care if your bucket-boots are heeled or vamped, Don't bring that s**t into my living history camp... There was a jolly pirate, with an earring made of gold, He thought it made him look the part, whatever he'd been told. So we pinned him down and beat him, an authenticists' attack, We tore it out his ear and he was never invited back. Eye patches, peglegs... There was a jolly maiden, who asked to join our crew, We said 'you seem the right sort, so we would love you to, But if you turn up to our camp as a made-for-TV tart, We'll never let you in our gang, 'cos you'll never look the part.' Eye patches, peglegs... If you've got a cooler, to keep you beer on ice, And if your sail-tarp shelter is devoid of rats and lice, If you don't have scabies, typhoid or pox too, You never be allowed to join, so go and find another crew. Eye patches, peglegs... So dress as a sailor in a tarry jacket blue With canvas slops and waistcoat, and they must be handstitched too. Or go for Royal Navy garb, and sleep upon the deck In a grey kersey jacket from the A-S-Contract specs. Eye patches, peglegs... And if you meet our standards you can join the waiting list, For a vacancy in our elite, a treat not to be missed. We'll share with you the secret of life, we've found it out, And we'll talk with great authority on stuff we know f**k all about. Eye-patches, peglegs... Brilliant...

Agreed Capt. Scurvy... and when it comes down to it my family comes first, unless I drag em with me to events...but then I don't hear them complaining. I don't think any one here has actually made the claim ever to being a real pirate/privateer/pirate hunter...although it looks like Foxe has to remind himself that he's really a 21st century bloke...

I for one wasn't speaking back in the day and hope very much to be alive and kicking still when the Luna is ready to set sail....yeah it hurts a lot more, but I still do it.

See what I don't get here is so what? Everyone is entitled to play this game as they like...so why do so many folks take offense when some want to go as far as they can with it?

I can say yes to all the above as well and even made due with no coast guard about, but you know when it comes down to it, I haven't murdered anyone or robbed anyone, at least not that I am willing to admit. So basically none of us are truly living historians when it comes to piracy. But then I have assisted in a few arrests so perhaps that qualifies me as a pirate hunter.

Smart ars...ahem... man!
