Capt. Sterling

**heh, heh, heh, ** Knew that would get ye... um... no they look mighty fine fer a first attempt... keep up the good work!

hmmmm

and one more... lower left hand corner... The Spinner by Mieris

Broom seller reign of Louis XV sorry can't blow this one up more, but circa 1674 circa 1686

We'll always accept strays! :) Sounds like the captain is a responsible pet owner and keeps the Mad Dogge on a leash... Sorry guys. We'll miss you again this year... You're always welcome any time. I do understand paying gigs. I wish we could offer something like that, but it's hard enough to just do what we have to. Go where the money is, but if anyone doesn't want to make the trip, you've all got a place here! Nice to know there's someone out there that understands... and thank ye for looking after "the children"....while we adults are out earning a living...

Relax... I need Maddogge that weekend, so Rats, feel free to steal the show at Paynetown, along with the other Midwesterners who cannot make North Carolina, as always they are welcome to stay closer to home.

Oh I second this! Robbie is phenomenally good at making "X"s...

Good then we are in accord...

Be my guest... I have a rendezvous with his wife... she's always volunteering to keep me happy and loves sleeping in my tent... now I know why....

Aye Silken Jack, beware of the fop, he'll drown ye with them "sssss" of his....

Because you're the infamous Capt. Stirling, that's why. Animal Now, now Animal... I am famous... the bad guys are the infamous folk... oh ... wait... we are the bad guys.... I have got to stop listening to Capt. Spike...

No doubt because English-speakers are foul heretics and soulless murderers, as a rule. Ah ye are confusing the English with the French.... Besides, sir, I be a Virginian first...

hmmm did mention that that they believed the fabric was recycled... which seems to be rather the norm for folks back then....

?? not sure I understand yer question ??

So, how many shots did you and Poppa end up with?

I always do sleep well... because I trust my crewe.

Since I can only see over one shoulder, I have body guards, heavily armed body guards...

And a very happy birthday to the surgeon... hope tis a good one and hope ye can make it to Pike. Will be good to see ye.

Damnation I missed this one! Happy Birthday Poppa! And many, many more!!!!!

**buries face in hands. Lets out a deep, heart wrenching sigh** Why me God? Why??

Just let me know when you want to fly down for research...

Like I have any excuse not to go... we can tackle Williamsburg as well... I want copies of the documentation and was told to just give them enough leeway and voila`, ours to have! I would love to ask them about jumps as well... they were a font of information regarding linen suits.

Rumba tis another gent wishing to have a speech impediment.

William, Virginia is a bit out of your way, but if you need a place to crash for a day or two to recoup, the door is always open.

Also of interesting note: they believe that the fabric used in this waistcoat was recycled from a pair of bed hangings, along with the embroidery... they date the fabric and stitching back to mid 17th century. Oh tis Bacon Castle and tis right here in Virginia... not England.
