Sir Beachem Quick

Actually had nothing to do wih me personally . . . just an observation. and how many times will you be rattlin off that list of information to the next pirate who shows an interest.

Capt Jim & William,

Yes I know it's not period but would do wonders to boost your rolls is have some national press coverage as well as a documentary filming of the prep through the event.

And for those money makin pirates out there could help your purses as well.

(just a thought)

HMMM . . . Most notible pirate of public affairs.

Now thats a title.

If I may be so bold as to interject for a moment . . . this thread is quite inspiring and no greater undertaking has ever been attempted.

That being said and in consideration of your desire to beef up your population you may wan't to consider what I will call here the "overwhelming factor". It may prove to be challenging to get new members due to the over whelming nature of rules (guidlines) and requirements. perhaps a new member welcome kit outlining minimums vrs advanced player so that each new pirate will know and feel compfortable (welcomed if you will) with where they fit in.

(just a thought)

(thinking outloud) Wonder if there was ever a jewish pirate?

Mayhaps philosophical truths are subject t' interpetation, many scientific truths are not. Start wit' wot we know t' be facts (truth) an work from there.

Accept that we don't hav all the answers, an be prepared t' work wit' imperfect information.

Most importantly, remember no one has the market cornered on truth.

No wiser words was ever spoken.

I for one am quite happy Thomas Edison did not quit after his first week of trying to invent the light bulb.

Thomas Edison, while his inventions have proved useful, was not the giant genius and world-saving inventor that people make him out to be.

He was an anti-Semite; he was a real ba$tard to work for; he regularly stole ideas from other scientists and inventors; he demanded that any ideas that originated from his workers be credited to him; he was conceited and arrogant; he was obsessed with money, and he had an excellent PR team behind him. There were scores of scientists and inventors working simultaneously on the same inventions, and it's mainly through luck, coupled with some ingenious industrial espionage, that he "stumbled" upon the great majority of them.

In short: the typical persevering businessman.

So what your saying then is because he was a human who exibited human flaws his accomplishments are thereby less significant.

Sorry laddy I am having a really hard time understanding what one has to do with the other. Character - which is what your alluding too . . .I believe. Has very little to do with with the ability to see a obsticle through to resolution or conclusion.

This is actually typical of the modern geo political media machine. God forbid we acknowledge and respect someone for their accomplishments without first pointing out all the awe sh*ts it took to achieve those accomplishments.

No ofense intended to you BTW.

aye for one am trying to cut back on truth.

I for one am quite happy Thomas Edison did not quit after his first week of trying to invent the light bulb.

The U.S. is doing the most in terms of polution control and china is doing the most in terms of creating polution. Experts are saying that if the entire globe went into sink now it would take 10,000 years to affect permanent changes. OK who's depressed show of hands plaese.

I see's it this way - either ye be all in or ye be all out. Should you have a mind to send the rum along to yer mates the best to be hoped for is remembrence in your time of need.

No message to post this program is all screweeeeeee

William,

A tad late to the tally I be.

Being with intention to appear do hereby pledge to make me best effort to be seen in the midst of the hartey mass assembled durring the fair occassion of pirates in paradise. Foregoing unforeseen distraction whether caused by the governor or weather.

For those who may be interested.

I do believe there's more truth to this science than your average pirate is willing to admit.

Kendra . . . your confounding the pirates . . . one quote at a time lass.

I am waiting on a coat and breeches I have had comissioned by a costumer who is also contracted by Disney here in Orlando, I went yesturday to see the mock up and was totally blown away. This outfit is in truth twice the price of any Carlisle sells but it is custom made for me and is gauranteed to last.

I'll post pics when I get it. be sure to look for me at PIP.

GLMF?? please elaborate!

I grew up in Southern California in the 70's and from 4th grade on most kids and their parents were doing it. When I got to Jr High I started seeing it's effects on peoples lives. It's never something I did or had a desire to do but I do know what a pot plant looks like and I can smell it from a hiundred yards away.

Why you did . . . to me . . . on another thread.

Cheaky Monkey!

:)

See I would never have gotten that one i believe I was drunk most of the time when that movie came out.

I am sure Black John will correct me if I am wrong but Pirates . . . not really concerned with gay or straight. wear the earing where you want to.

JFTR - Left ear straight, Right ear gay.

As for the ear ring it'self just google pirate jewelry you'll come up with quite a few possibilities.

Ever the gentlemen you are Black John. You give Pirates a good name.
