Yersinia Pestis

Thank you Long Tom. Yes, she is a very fine little bauble. Expensive, but very fine. Yes, We could form the LOGOFWETWGB. I decided that I wanted to have the biggest high cock in port. I hope others don’t think that I am compensating for anything.

Sorry! Copied the wrong tag. Here is the first mate and I celebrating Samhain.

I was listening to me first mate playing the Celtic harp, but she has now switched over to the piano and is playing some Bach. This lassie is extrmely talented

The first mate, the crew and I have made this festival for the past four consecutive years. We plan on making it this year also.

I am a happy drunk. I am very friendly, laugh a lot, tell jokes, and everyone is a friend.

The smell of a newborn baby, lilacs, hyacinths, my wife wearing white musk, the air after a summer rain, freshly cut grass, freshly split oak.

With garlic powder, ground cumin and salt. grilled to a beautiful medium rare. smothered with onions and mushrooms sautéed in butter.

Gentleman, Thank you for your input. It looks as if I could go with either a valve or a stopper. The Royal Danish Arsenal Museum web site was awesome. They have some very beautiful pieces. Thanks for the reference.

Does anyone know when dispensing valves were developed? I am looking at a very nice powder horn. It is beautifully scrimshawed; however, it has a dispensing valve on it. I might be incorrect, but that does not strike me as being GAoP. Any ideas?

I was thinking that society felt that piracy was a type of "plague." In a "former life" I spent 13 years in the biomedical industry. I started as a virologist, moved to technical services then into regulatory affairs. As a former bio-geek I knew that the causative agent for the bubonic plague is the bacteria Yersinia pestis, which is listed by CDC as a select agent, because it can be weaponized, even though it is recommended to be handled in a biosaftey level 2 facility (biosafety 3 if a potential to create an aerosol exists) and treated with antibiotics. Hence, the name Yersinia Pestis, Plague of the Seven Seas.

Navel shooter Your favorite drink on a comely wench.
