LadyBarbossa

Scurvy Dog.. you scurvy dog!

A spyglass, eh? Oooo... would love something like that.

Damnit man, wish you were closer to this direction! Would have so much fun at the re-enactments at the tavern there! :)

Psst... :::looks around:: if ever you get that chance... grab something for me from the sequels. If you could? Rather partial to Barbossa. :) As long as I can use it at the re-enactments.

::Ponders:: Not sure what I could use actually.. besides a carbine & 2 or 3 Dragoon pistols.... a horse...

In the Toy Review article back in July, they mentioned that the 1st series they were putting out Jack, Will, Barbossa & a cursed pirate. But for the 2nd they were not sure yet.. but were thinking about Pintel & Ragetti... possibly Elizabeth... a cursed Jack... a cursed Barbossa... & someone else. though... Norrington would be a good choice as well. :)

They have to immortalize everyone. Like Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.

LOL.. how many figurines have Johnny been immortalized as?

The Black Pearl would be nice to get our hands upon also. :)

Aye.... tis sad news indeed.

How would pirates mourn the loss of one of them? I'll be wearin' a black ribbon as an armband on Halloween as I wear my black pirate outfit in memory of this great fellow pirate.

Gotcha!

Awesome! I will get to work on your hat then, Christine. 1 Barbossa hat, coming up!

I've had some disturbing news last night as I checked with our local Toys R Us....

They DON'T intend to sell the Jack Sparrow 18 inch doll!

Disturbing as to this would be the only place in town that would sell the doll!

Most disturbing & frustrating as this type of BS can hurt the merchandizing figures & possible sales of PotC toys in the future! How can one buy these items WITHOUT buying online? I don't like to buy online period!

Ummm, Bess ... or anyone out there! Is there SOMETHING that can be done about this? If the stores are supposed to carry them, don't they have to since they are contracted to do so & it's in some respects advertised?

Oh, & advertising of the products. How's one to know about them other than word of mouth?

I can get re-enactment supplies easier than getting the PotC merchandise!!

::Shakes head:: I won't ask what this world is coming to.

Awesome. Thanx for th' info, Silver Steele.

Aye, I'll definitely be buyin' it. When is the issue.

Aye.. I'd say that's the real thing there! Looks just like the one that I saw there at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago for the Action! exhibit.

Wow.. the whole kitncaboodle.. wicked!

::removes big black feathered hat; bows deeply;:: ye b' most welcome, Christine.

I'm kickin' m'self I didn't have a little extra cash to buy ya a hat black at Cantigny this past weekend. But.. tis ok... since I was not impress with them. Let alone I haven't an idea you hat size... that's a must before I start working on it. :) Let me know what it is. & I can make you your Barbossa hat.. cause I did spot some more items that would make it more like the actual Barbossa hat.. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Well.. I was able to figure out the lyrics since I posted this.

I have yet to memorize it.. for it's a PERFECT pirate song - if you play the cursed pirate - for this month.

The "helms" I wrote there is a typo.. it's actually "Hells" ... & the 2nd line in the 2nd verse I believe it's "We set.."

I adore this song. There are other songs that I have sung by Wylde Nept on their CD. Good sea shanties.

You're most welcome, Christine.

::Looks at Barbossa:: Devil.

::plays with feathers on my hat:: Ya could've had mine,.. but ya wanted the old one back. Tis a pity.

Aye.. Christine.. I can make ya one like mine.... is much alike to the Barbossa hat. Tis easy.

::looks at Barbossa; shakes head::

Oooh, dear. & a couple people told me that the NECA toys were horrible.. these are WORSE! & not even official!

Oh, well.... Interesting... nonetheless...

Christine... how's about a deal here... I need to learn how to make hats & find out the cost... How's about I make ya one. Be great for me to experiment. No charge to ya since it's a prototype.

How you want it to look though? IM me when you can, m'dear.

Ahhh.. the joys of the world of idiocy!

Makes Monty Python movies all the more TRUE! Scarey.

Capitalism? :: Shrugs:: Democracy... doubtful...

Just the fools being stupid... & not knowing what they are getting themselves into.

Frankly... I'd say this is up to Disney to email the buyers to warn the buyers of the seller being a fake... let alone eBay needs to do their work.

Pirating the props to make cheap replicas or fakes... reselling items you can get elsewhere.... that's just not practical piracy mates. That's idiocy in the highest degree.

Besides you can get better Barbossa hats else where.

Nay... I just think he's the worst kind of pirate.... a rather stupid one!

Again, my OWN looks far better & rather close to the real Barbossa hat than that!

ahhhh... he will learn the hard way. If he starts dancin' from the yardarm.. I want to be there to see it!

Frankly... I respect the Bess & those of the crew cannot say a thing about the film.. & actually I like it that way. I love a good surprise!

Thanks lass.... just trust that I'm in the production offices almost every day and I can tell you I doubt ANYONE will be disappointed.

So far it's stunning!

Can't wait, Bess.

Hope we see you little isle again. :)

I'm sure I won't be... though I know a couple out there who would be considering they are those kind of people that have twisted minds.... Christine know's what I am talking about... they write fan fic & it's always involving Slash between the main male characters. :: cringes:: Yyyeeeaaaaahhhhh.... I stay away from it. The closest I get to sickness of that sort is any attraction between Barbossa & Elizabeth! ::innocently look with halo above head::

Again, Can't wait, Bess!

Oooo! CONVENTION! We have GOT to do something....

From Toy Review back in July, they mentioned Toys R Us will definitely carry the line... Kay Bee Toys... & specialty stores like Bess mentionee Suncoast, maybe Sam Goody... but places like Wal Mart or Target will nto carry the line. I don't know, they may have changed that since then.

Well.. for one.. in the commentary with the Writers they DID say that Bill Turner IS dead! the "Crushing black oblivion" kinda hinted to that.

Davey Jones? I'm sorry first thing that pops up in my mind is Davey Jones of the Monkees in their TV series when they were battling pirates! Peg Leg Pete?

Or worse. the Commadore turned bad?

Frankly... I respect the Bess & those of the crew cannot say a thing about the film.. & actually I like it that way. I love a good surprise!

Have fun some of ya sea dogs lucky 'nough t' have one in yer ports!

Alas, not havin' luck getting one 'round here, let alone the midwest I think. Rather d'pressin'.

Oh, how many times I died bravely in battle or with the ship!

A couple of those I could actually haunt the bilge rat that took me b'fore my time!

"A man can face the most dangerous challenge so long as he believes he can master it."

~Esteban, "The Mysterious Cities of Gold", Epis 39

Others from "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"...

"Go ahead & set sail. Then keep your eyes wide open."

"Mendoza! Don't move! I won't hesitate to shoot!"

"Go ahead, Doctor. Shoot! Then you will loose all hope of getting out!"

"I won't hesitate, & must I, I'll take you all to hell with me!"

"Great guns a galleon!"

"Aah, you've led us on a merry little dance, my dear. To celebrate, we'll give your friends in the village a splendid fireworks display."

"No! You can't! You gave your word!"

"Well, now I'm taking it back!"

"By the Devil's black beard... it's Mendoza's ship!"

"May we know what amuses you so!"

"Your question amuses me. You think I am after gold. But truth be told, you may take all the gold you wish!"

"Now that's what I call striking a good bargain!"

& many others I will have to grab. :)

The other I love, from Colonel William Tavington in "The Patriot"... it's part of my signature:

"You know.. it's an ugly business doing one's duty. But just occassionally... it's a real pleasure."

"You really know how to charm 'em."

"Shut up, Frank."

"Big & older?"

"I swear Frank...I'll kill ya in your sleep!"

"Next time try fat an' haggered!"

~ "American Outlaws", Frank & Jesse James

"He's smilin'."

"Is that bad?"

"Very."

Also from "American Outlaws"

& of course can't forget some of the lines from "The Goonies"

"Shh! I hear somethin'!"

"Maybe it's a way out-"

"Maybe it's the Fertelli's-"

"Maybe Joan Fonda Please-"

"Maybe it's another of One-Eyed Willy's boobytraps!"

& many other Goonies lines.

:angry:

Aye.. what Charity stated. Barbossa was shot in the heart.. fell back, lay facing up, eyes open gazing lifeless at the ceiling.

As to the monkey... :: Shrugs:: I've heard from elsewhere that monkeys are deathly afraid of water. Now.. this one.. :: Shrugs:: may enjoy the bloody water. But.. the monkey taking the coin.. we shall see. Some say that the monkey restarted the curse... some say that the monkey started a new curse & gave the coinage to Barbossa to resurrect him...:: Shrugs:: who knows.

We shall see with the sequels.

I've heard the rumors also about prequel... but... doesn't sound logical to me.

We shall see soon enough, won't we?

Curious as to the ships they will use as well. :) Ooooh, so many choices!

:angry:

:::uber confunfused by what Robert said:::

Back up the wagon train & say that again? I didn't quite understand what that mention entirely.

Historical is one thing, but to hear from the Historical Nazis.. :: cringes:: I have to listen to that PLENTY enough...

As to the video game... kind confused there... ditto with the setting in the Caribbean...

:: Shakes head:: OK.. read that several times over & over... m' friend... most people could frankly give a damn about actual history.. we saw that major screw up with "The Patriot", granted was an interesting film, but... there was WAY, WAY, WAY too much controversy there. Believe me, I heard it from EVERYWHERE... anything from the uniforms of the Green Dragoons ((::: raises hand:: which I am a green dragoon in Lee's Legion & an auxilery member in Tarleton's British Legion).. to the general history use... :::puts hands over ears:::

With pirates... it's all about pirate lore. Besides what reality do we REALLY know of pirates?

PotC was a breath of fresh air compared the onslaught of movies from marvel comicbook heros to teenage drama films.

Lemme see if I can find it again. I'm on a different comp at this time.. but I had posted about the card game & a link to the manufacturer over a month ago... :: runs off to attempt to find it:: I posted it here on the Pub, here under Pirate Pop.

Ahhh.. ok.. here it is..

Pirates of the Spanish Main card game

Yeah, I wondered about that, Bess. How the hurricanes would effect the locations in the Caribbean. Especially after Ivan & the vast devstation that one has caused upon all the Caribbean.

Ivan the Terrible!

Just meaning some extra work AFTER hurricane season, huh? Poor things.

HEY! At least the Keys are all well & safe... for now.... so that those going can enjoy PiP! ::Cheers;snoopy dances::

Bess... can't wait for the sequels :)

Aye... I 've done that 3 times since July.

They still act like complete dimwits & ocean sludge about the card game, let alone clueless on contacting me.

Would be cool.... but bloody hell if I know that such a thing will happen.

Especially here.
