    Here's the rules the Pyrates of the Coast sail under... the articles if you will...

    Pyrates of the Coast Articles

    As a representative of The Pyrates of the Coast, I solemnly agree to abide by these articles for the duration of the voyage:

    1. A crewe member shall have fun at all times.

    2. A crewe member shall always pace him- or her- self. Obvious public drunkenness is not allowed and you risk being sent home.

    3. When the group leaves, everyone leaves.

    4. Excessive public displays of romantic prowess are not in the interests of the The Pyrates of the Coast. Predatory practices are forbidden.

    5. A crewe member is courteous and polite at all times and shall not use foul or vulgar language when in public. A crewe member always allows a member of the public to go first.

    6. A crewe member shall not point his or her weapon at the public and shall use extreme caution and discretion when allowing the public, particularly children, to hold weapons.

    7. A crewe member shall not intentionally damage or destroy another's property. Stealing, either from a fellow crewe member or the public is cause for immediate dismissal and expulsion.

    8. Gimmicks - active or inactive - are the exclusive possession of its innovator. No other crewe member shall adopt a similar gimmick without the creator's permission.

    9. Stickers are not to be placed on establishment furnishings, glassware, etc. Further, a crewe member shall use good taste when placing stickers on members of the public.

    10. When an establishment or patron buys a crewe member a drink, he or she shall order a well drink, unless he or she is willing to pay for a specialty concoction.

    11. A crewe member never expects "freebies" on a voyage. He or she is always ready and willing to pay for everything. If you don't have the dough, don't go.

    12. A crewe member shall always crewe member never argues in public.

    13. When on a voyage, a crewe member is always sure to be well groomed and attired in clean, well maintained clothes and equipment. T-shirts and other "civilian attire" are not allowed.

    That pretty well covers it - works for all of us at least...

    So I'll be steering a wide coast from those states that require that - don't do that peace tie thing. See it as unecessary for our crewe.

    Hi confusing accent guy!

    Who in the 'ell takes a weapon ever through airport security? No one has ever been allowed to take a cutlass or pistol on board a plane, peace tied or not that I know of. Even in 1984 they seized obvious toy flintlocks. So this is nothing new in the airports of the U.S., '84, '97 or 911 (hut-hut-hike!) :lol:

    I know it's not 1997 any longer. But we (The Pyrates) play this gig all the time all over the country - fully rigged in weapons - and no one has ever asked us to remove the weapons or peace tie. That was my point. It's kind of sissy.... and downright unpiratical.

    Does anyone else do this when they're roaming around in public, visiting bars, interacting with the public? I'm really curious. The thought would never occur to us. And yes, we even pull out our weapons in public and hand it to the kiddies. Never had an incident in 22 years.

    I've crashed and roamed several boat shows over the years. People love it. And I just pay my way in so they have to treat me nice. Hundreds of photos... lots of buzz. Spruces up a show a bit when a pirate sails in.

    Also, what's all this about peace tying stuff. In 22 years I have never peace tied my weapons and not a single person has asked by to take the weapon off or tie it. Not very piratical now isn't it? And no, no one in those years has ever tried to pull it out (the sword :) either.

    Guess that's a Ren thang, eh?

    I've been in the bilge for the last several days, picking up Jasper's refuse on the floor. At least I hope it was his - came home from delivering all our guests to the airport and now there was none on the floor. Hhm, who was it, lads and lasses?

    Do I have to get DNA samples?

    Depends... which outfit. I have garb for 12 straight days with no dupliates. Some - total authenticity, others more party pirate oriented. Depends upon the mood, the gig and what's clean at the moment.

    Only hand sew things like trim on hats... the sewing machine was a great invention regardless of period, so why no use it...

    The crewe just returned from a very successful pub run in Mount Dora. Sheila stunned everyone on the Mexican restaurant with her bottle trick, the captain broke the puzzle game at the local bar, Diosa tried a Rumrunner and the Captain benefited from her not liking it, OriginalCynn zinged Nigel countless time and Black Skot's trip back from PiP has now become something of a legend... All in all, a good day and Mount Dora will never be the same. And no one will be able to eat Fritos or tunafish again.

    But we did get invited back - so a good sign, eh?

    FOTOS!!!! coming soon.

    I've been to both and prefer the Magic Kingdom at DisneyWorld. Plus you get four parks and two water parks plus DisneyQuest and Pleasure Island to keep you busy. Our crewe's heading off to PI tonight...

    I see we're having a relief effort for our northern crewe who have experienced bouts of frigidity, hypothermia and icicles hanging off vital body parts...

    I am throwing in the following items:

    1. A thermometer (rectal) for taking the temperature in Seattle and Chicago.

    2. Two ice trays (to fill with water - we have to pay for ice here in Florda in January).

    3. One cut of "The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful" emphasizing the phrase, "If it doesn't work out there'll never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain."

    4. All my old sweaters... who needs them here - still wearing my shorts.

    I hope others here in the sweltering south will be as generous with our suffering northern crewe in this time of tumult.

    Hey captain, how did I get the title of bilge rat? You telling me something? :wacko: I was a hoping to sign on as one of the ships carpenters...if not, how about the ship surgeon. I can start with cutting out a heart... B)

    Sorry lad, that's a pyracy.com designation for newbies. Us seasoned posters have far more interesting titles, again, thanks to the wonderful owners of this here board...

    Notice to all crewe,

    Forgive my transgressions of the previous evening that may or may not have happened, either those thought or acted upon, whether it involved any of you in my conscious or dream state, clothed or naked, with or without the monkey and other animals present at the table. Thanks for your attention to this matter...

    We pdx pirates and members of BOOM are plottin' and will surely be seeing you there!

    Additional web sites: with pictures of ships: http://www.tacomascene.com/tallships/.

    Freedom Fair: http://www.freedomfair.com/

    Wow!

    Only three ships are confirmed for Tacoma? And one is a local? They invited something like 50 --- even the Seattle one had a couple of Class A's a few years back... I was hoping to take the crewe up north for the event, but I'm not sure now... may just scuttle our plans and head to a port with more ships...

    Hard to compete with Sail Boston 92... That was a tallship gathering I'll never forget...
