Captain Rob Carroll

I'm looking for websites for belts and little hook snaps for attaching mugs to belts. Know any? Thanks for your help mates!

I smell Monkey Island afoot!

Can't believe no one thougt of this, how bout multi-vitamins, I'd take a few cases of these boys. I'd revolutionise the world. Think about pirates would be healthier indeed, oh yes, fit pirates! :)

I have always had a fascination of pyrates, since I was a wee one. I'm attracted to the sea and feel terrible when I'm not around one. The interest in pyrates as only grown stronger in me and now it has blossomed. Pyrates are the average man or woman with an above average imagination. The pyrate means to me a champion of the working man or woamn, the underdog of society.

I have a small four leafed clover on my upper left arm. Pain Scale: 4 maybe 5, it felt like continual cat scratchings. I heard it hurts more on sensitive parts of the skin (hopefully you know where these are) and where the skin is thin near the bone too.

A bit or rust just adds to the spice and authenicity I think, I mean not so much rust that it falls apart or has holes nmind you, just to have that aged look.

Great Lads, great! Keep'em coming

Thxs lass, I'll look into it.

Yep its the crabs.

Many pyrates and other sailors tattooed The Crucifixion on there backs for they thought it would ease or perhaps ward the pain of lashings.

Welcome aboard lassey and may the sea be kind to you while your here!

Did the pirates in the golden age use piercing daggers more than slashing daggers. If they used the slashing kind were they usually double or single edged?

You see I'm torn between three knives I've seen at http://www.jastown.com/

These are the trade knifeand the longhunter under the knife section and the plug bayonet under the tomahawks, and gun accessories section. Have a look at them and pick which one you think is the most authentic that a pirate would carry. Thanks for the help.

I'm with Capt William on this, I'm a left handed shooter too!

Thxs for the explanation, so modern guns would be percussion correct?

I'm on it like an encrusted jewel on the cutlass!

Cool I'll look into it mate! Is your sword sharp Royal?

Mateys, I'll be so glad in Dec when I get back to the the States so I can get to thrifties and markets!

Tales,

Where did you procur your cutlass at?

It is fun, I bought a pack that had the 1st through the 3rd I think. The first is the best IMO still.

For the love of all that is good......no Metallica! I just saw a movie that had 60's music in it and the movie was set in the late 1800s, and it blew bilge I say, the music anyways. It was Shanghai Knights. Just say no matey!

Good poem lassy!

Good to meet you and welcome!

I'm really interested, I wonder if there is any groups up in the DC area. Any one know of any?

I wouldn't have it any other way m8.

Yes this is helping. Did pirates carry rapiers? I'm going more of the historic pirate with some hollywood, but not too much. Out off all the books you've read what did the typical captain carry? Was he different than the others in appearance? I appreciate all your help!

Any one play this game? Its about a wannbe pirate named Guybrush Threepwood and his crazy adventuires against the ghost pirate LeChuck. Its a tongue in cheek spoof but worth it, it is pretty funny.

I'm trying to get some figures on how much a great pirate outfit and acc. would cost. So my question is this, How much did you spend roughly on your pirate get up? I mean everything.
