Halloween's comin' !!! I'm a witch... I couldn't resist!!! ARRRR!!!!

Happy Birthday, Lady Seahawke & Mr. Bubbles! Cheers, Mates!

Er, no Mate! I not be kiddin... I never kid about art! I'll post a pic as soon as I get around to taking one!

The outside of the hat is smooth, and the reverse is the suede side of the leather. Mine was received before the new darkening tecnnique was employed, I'm assuming. They appear to have surface dyed the leather, which is why the underside is a different color. I've resolved that color issue much to my satisfaction, using the following methods. I simply "aged" mine a bit on both sides using leather dyes, lots of water, and burrying it in my back yard for several days, then watering said burial ground. Upon removing it from the mud hole, I drug it behind my car through gravel and over rough pavement. After another good and thorough soaking in muddy water, I placed it upon me head to let it dry for a custom fit. Then I gave it a good brushing to remove the debris, and followed up with generous amounts of mink oil on both the smooth and sueded sides. Though a mighty headache and muddy hair were the unfortunate side effects, a perfectly "aged" and well fitting tricorn resulted. The headache has long passed, and I've washed me hair since. I must track down the receipt, but I'm certain I purchased this tricorn from Excaliber. Ye may be thinkin' I went to a great deal of effort to achieve the "lived in" look, and perhaps you're right. It's an art, this business of wasting time...

I happen to be one that shelled out the doubloons for this hat, and found it quite pleasing. It fits perfect, and gives me that geeky Jack Sparrow look that I like so much. Just got it recently, and it's a finely crafted tricorn. See my cheesy avatar to the left.

Arrr... just Arrrr.... Well... arrr, ......... Nevermind. Take 'im to the edge an' keep 'im there until he forgets 'is own name... the agony and the ecstasy... an' all that... THEN remove your bodice carefully!

Arrr, is there a woman among us who wouldn't be simply ravishing on screen. I think we all would! ARRRR !!!

Jessica Lange... Arrrr, if I were a man, I would find her delightful to look at. A true beauty in my mind and a brilliant actor. And linked to Sam Shepard... who's close friends with Bob Dylan... they keep good company, eh? And lest we forget Holly Hunter? Feisty, pretty, talented, TEXAN! Neither of these lasses have been in a pirate flick, but they could be, I think.

Raising Arizona is one of my all time favorite movies. Cage was great, and Hunter was every bit as good. But she's good in everything. I still laugh thinking about the aforementioned scene.

That was a suggestion, inspired by a bad dawg.

I suppose that this means we did not, in fact, end this discussion in the "Post Mortem" thread, as we had all agreed last night. I conclude that some people are incapable of grasping certain concepts. So let's go back to the "Post Mortem" thread and work on it some more.

I really can't see the value in making it about one's significant other or spouse. What's up with that???

ARGH... lost cause, you are!

If you need a server to hang your images on, e-mail them to me and I'll provide you with the linkage.

Oh, yes, the Square Peg /Round Hole conundrum... I just keep collecting them, hoping for a proper fit. It will NEVER happen. Classic obsessive/compulsive behaviour. Similar to collecting Pirate-related board games, maybe.

Maybe... somthing like "drowning on the ship of fools..." Somebody did it... More... my thesaurus is open, obviously. Insubordination Seditious Malevolent Anarchy After a little research on the phrase "Ship of Fools," the earliest reference I can find is from Sebastian Brant’s Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools), the first edition released in 1494.

Ship of Fools

The Whydah Store's Pirate hat for Dogs is sweet. But I'd have to buy 3... ouch. Put it in the catagory of things to spend money on when I'm rich.
