LadyBarbossa

Yes, it is hard to go to some places with twirps in tow. Oh, dancing pirates... granted we saw them in movies like "Muppet Treasure Island", but still.... to see a group of us in a Line Dance doing the Electric Slide of some other jig elsewhere would be a riot! :) "Oh, Aye! I can't wait for "Pirates of the Crimson Coast"! Bought 5 more packs last night. Got the great ship the La Resolucion. Though... I prefer to have the Revenant. & get the character Calico Cat... though, the name is cheesy, she's a wicked character! I got the Countess. There are a few more packs here. Hopefully I can get a few more. I still want the Revenant & Calico Cat. El Fantasma would be cool with his ghost crew.. but... Calico Cat is far better. Oh, mentioned this under the Rabble Rousing... Last weekend of Feb .. in Oshkosh WI there is a historical Trade Fair on the periods from 1750 to the western frontier which I imagine is post Civil War. Maybe an Invasion of sorts with that. Though, not sure if we would all dress up, but more likely go as a group to check out the info, look for merchandise, etc.

No hard feelin's, Mission. Though, Christine's a mild point there. Jack.. well... Jack is the good, Barbossa is the evil. Can't have the light without the dark. But, aye. I see Jack on a slew of adventures as well... if not like the Star Wars saga or James Bond... maybe like the Star Trek series or Hercules.. or better yet, like Doctor Who! Admittedly, I'm sure we all come to agree that PotC has now grown into a likeable & loveable cult! Now... if we can have more mechandise... conventions... & the PotC Interactive more often.... etc... ::le sigh:: :) Pirate life would be grand. Though... I still stick by Barbossa's side. ::: Evil grinz:::

Ahhhh, not t' worry, Isabella. I'm sure we will all come to a good agreement. Otherwise, we'll just check them all out spanning 2005. :) The Pirate's Cove sounds intreguing. oh, Merry! What a fantastic idea, too! Joe's Crab Shack! I have a feeling we are up for one hell of a fun year! Pete... I accept yer challenge! Would be fun & to see the faces of th' others as we demand rematches! LOL... ANYPLACE is nutty with us around. :) Our usual haunt is fun with all the sing-songs & .. well, if crazy enough.. dancing, too. Aye. For some that remember me dancin' in the aisles to one of the Irish songs that was heard on "Titanic".... Jack & Rose were in a duel of the feet dance. T'was fun!

What shall we do at the Invasions? Hmmm? I've FINALLY some cards from the Pirates of the Spanish Main collectable card game. Could play that. Rather addictive. My nephew & I played it already. Played it for 4 hours straight! :) Watch pirate films perhaps... Course, depends upon what Toby can find out with some certain events. Anyone have suggestions? A trip on the Windy Schooners? dinner at our fav plac &/or Dick's Last Resort?

:: Rolls eyes rather annoyingly:: Aye.. I've heard this bloody story over & over & over & over & over again... Barbossa was shot.. he keeled over & died like Jack wanted. Point being? Ummm... imagination... think of pirate lore. Is a pirate REALLY dead? Hmm? Besides... I'm sure there are PLENTY of ways Barbossa can return... as well as why Jack returns as well & out smarts Norrington. ::pulls out pistol; whips out sword; in Barbossa style on the treasure mound::: I'll bloody well gut the next bilge rat that contends to the fact the bloody Writers have NO SAY in their own bloody film! I hear PLENTY of th' complaints from m' friend. & bloody damn right I will be VERY, VERY happy for Barbossa's return! Hell, they can bring the ghost of Blackbeard in for all I care! Even the ghost of Cortez or perhaps the crafty temptress Malinche for all I care! Add spice to the fun & Jack more dilemmas to deal with. The sequels can't be any cheesier than the other classical films with pirates in them. Can one complain if it makes you feel like the adventurous child again... with temptations of treasures untold... with adventure yet to be had... etc, etc... I saw bring on the fun! Let the Pirates roam th' waters once more! & I.. await Barbossa's devilish return. ::: Evil grinz:::

Theres mention of it on the Revolutionary War re-enacting chat list via Yahoogroups.. & a couple other Rev War chat lists on this like revwar.com chat list. Sounds like an exciting event! Wish I could go. Not sure though. I know a few from the NWTA here are going. As well as some from the SCF, British Brigade & the BAR. The beginning of my area of interest with the Rev War.

What a lucky discovery for you! Bravo on your new addition. :)

THEY LOVE US! Soon enough... soon enough! :) We'll return to the Pub & have a hell of a time! I bet that they - at the Pub - were thrilled to see you back. Rum? Nay.. Morgan, you bring the rum cake! damn that is good! Bloody hell, you have me HOOKED on it! Isabella... send the snow back to Iowa! I want a white Christmas. I don't think the barely inch of snow we got the other night will last til Sat.

Do we blame ya, mate? I think you are not alone with that desire.

Tomorrow's a bit of a short notice. Besides, the snow's not TOO bad.. snowing here & it's light... barely an inch at the moment. But, still praying for a white Christmas ((Yes, I said CHRISTMAS!... :: whips out sword:: anyone has a problem with that, I'll GUT YA!)) Maybe a minor invasion in Jan.. or Feb.. then a major one in April. I'm sure a few of us are itchin' t' have a little fun. Though... I think next year.. we should do that... have a Pirate Christmas! What ya all think? :) Have a few drinks... raise a little hell... Open , :: clears throat:: presents... treasure chests & whatever we find that catches our eyes (if you have 2 of them. )

Only just now are they starting to become available here in Cedar Rapids. I've bought 3. Hoping to buy more soon. I REALLY want the Revanant. :: Crossing fingers & swords:: As well as getting ahold of Calico Cat - cheesy name, but fabulous character. :)

Not t' worry, Barbosa... we'll break ya out of prison. :) Oh, I'm with ya there, Christine! Get a group of us together to raise some hell. Ya think the Caribbean is ready for the lot of us?

Another edition of Pirates of the Spanish Main will be released Feb 2005 - Pirates of the Crimson Coast Constructible Card Game. More added to this edition: The CSG smash hit Pirates returns this February with Pirates of the Crimson Coast! French ships join the hunt for gold and glory, new Schooner ships set sail for high adventure, and players must contend with new weather and sea effects such as fog banks and reefs! These new effects add excitement to every Pirates game! Pirates of the Crimson Coast will also introduce a new constructible element – forts! Built to stand atop existing islands, forts add fun new twists to Pirates. Pirates of the Crimson Coast also adds new rules to increase strategy and options for hard-core buccaneers. All of this in one $3.99 pack! Each pack still contains everything a player needs to build either two complete ships, or one ship and one fort, treasure, rules, an island card and a die! There are over 62 ships to collect! Contents 2 sailing ships or 1 sailing ship and 1 fort 1 treasure 1 crew card 1 cardboard island card 1 rules sheet 1 die Don't know about you all... But I am rather eager for this edition!

It's under the Reservations. Adult - double occupancy - $1999.00 per person Child - 12 years and under only in a triple - $1499.00 Single Supplement - $500.00 Cabin Upgrades : Burke Suite - $250.00 per person (only 2 Burkes) Admiral Deluxe - $225.00 per person (only 2 Admiral Deluxes) Admiral Suite - $200.00 per person (only 8 Admiral Suite) Commodore Deluxe - $150.00 per person (only 8 Commodore Deluxes) Sounds like fun nonetheless. I'l have to consider it.

Well, I suppose we should all make plans then, eh? Have a grand Invasion then as well? I'm sure that Toby aka Captain Jack Sparrow will be gracing Bristol with his presence .... as well as "Daddy" Sparrow. Smithy, as MerryD & I know him as.... well, I know his as Smithy & "Daddy"... LONG story there! Maybe by then, I'll have another outfit ready. Or 2 outfits. Maybe ol' Barbossa will be joining the lot of us. What a grand time we will have for sure!

Damn right ye'll come out t' have some fun with yer fellow pirates, Rose! A wicked image that created in my mind, Isabella! I've 2 pirate flags. I have yet to make my own. Soon enough. Perhaps I will have it done for the Invasion. So... dare we plan this for Feb? or March? I'm sure we may get a good lot together.... :) perhaps a dozen or so.

:) pretty much. Aye, I may stay with someone actually that is in Joliet. But, we shall see. Could always carpool as well. Best to do that so we don't get LOST again! Hopefully, we'll have some fun on a ship or 2. alas, no news on any Tall Ships at this present time. Only the Windy or Windy 2.

I'm with Christine & Joshua there ... eager, but trying to be patient for when the little Barbossa figure comes out. :: le sigh::

Hard enough to say which hotels are good. But, as to the pirate fun... :: Shrugs:: I don't know if that small boat that is on the river is still there.. looks like a pirate ship. Spotted that back in July 2003. Was rather cute. I'm sure the lot of us can come up with something. Toby, however, will keep me abreast of any events coming up as well.

Well, besides a certain pub... there can & are various places to check out. Alas, would have been one hell of a time with some Tall Ships being in the vicinity between Aug & Oct... mostly, the HMS Bounty being docked there at the Navy Pier. Fine ship she be. Instantly fell in love with her. Ahhh, the helm felt so natural as I stood there. Didn't want to leave her decks. She'll be sailing up the Mississippi sometime in 2005. So, if someone gets to moving on that supposed Pirate Fest in the Quad Cities, what perfect timing that would be. Hopefully there will be more Tall Ship opportunities in 2005. Just finding out ahead of time is rather hard. Pity. Plus, depends more on what Toby can find out with other events... being the Jack Sparrow of the Chicagoland area. Good man & good pirate. Not t' worry, Cap'n. I'm sure we'll keep ye'all a breast of the situation & plans. Then again, when & what month works best for you all? What would ya like to do at an Invasion? etc. Input, gotta love it. Can't guarantee that's what we will do, but... possible to keep in mind for the future. 'course, I'll be a'keepin' m' eyes open for some ships 'round about...well, b'sides the Windy & the Windy II - some cute schooners worth of some pirate fun. Oy! If ya haven't been to the Museum of Science & Industry yet, do so! They have that exhibit on filmmaking... & the major prop there is fantastic... it be the Jolly Roger, the ship in the recent live action "Peter Pan" with Jason Isaacs as Hook. A fantastic ship!Plus, one of the gold gowns that Keira wore in PotC is there as well.. & some PotC images. It's well worth a look see.

Actually it's the pink markings you placed upon Nigel that was a kill! :: applauds Paisley:: Interesting temp tattoo. :) As to the sausage... I'm not sure if I want to know. All in all, sounds like you all had a blast down there.

OMG, that's hilarious! Nigel, sounds like you gave the ladies a bit of a stir.

I've been to the Suncoast & both the Spencers here in CR... & alas, no Jack. & from what they tell me.. no one here will carry them. :: Shakes head::: I've no idea if they are lying to me, or if someone, somewhere is beng a huge butthead. If I get them, I'm a damn lucky lady. If not, wouldn't surprise me. I tell ya, I've very bad luck!

Hmmm.. Joey dressed as Barbossa... driving down the road in the Batmobile... I can see that. :) A replica Batmobile, huh? Oh, dear. My nephew's friend's dad has one.. as well as the batcycle & the Speed Racer car.. LOL, funny a hell when you see those vehicles during the summer months... just going down the main drags & there be Zach's dad... in the Batmobile! Hope you get it & enjoy it, Joey!

I've heard this, too. Despite Bess telling us that it's not true... I VERY confused. Doesn't bother me none if he's in it or not. Heard Catherine Zeta-Jones wanted a speaking part in it as well.
