LadyBarbossa

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!

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'. :angry:

"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.

A last resort here for anyone around the Chicago area willing to jump on the bandwagon with a fellow PotC fan named Toby who does a fantastic Jack Sparrow ( who, btw, will be doing a gig with NECA to help promote & released the new PotC Merchandise). He's been asked to return this weekend - Sept 18th - to the Museum of Science & Industry for a special event to help promote it. Not only will Toby be there as Sparrow, but other characters from various movies including the Chicago division of the 501st Stormtroopers, & many other characters. Want to join Toby? Just show up at the Museum of Science & Industry this Saturday - Sept 18th. The event starts at 10:30 am til 2:30pm. Join the fun. Maybe afterward we may swing by the Bounty.

The vast majority of RPGs out there are rather slow if not dead. At current looking for Barbossa in a few.. Will Turner in a couple.. Elizabeth in one, & a whole slew of characters for all of them. :) Soon, Charity... Soon. I've been a bit slammed with other things lately.

:::Shrugs::: we shall see eventually, eh?

Oh! BTW... there are a few other RPG on Yahoo that are in DIRE need of players. Lemme see if I can grab their URLs here.... :: runs off to get them::: Barbossa RPG My own... looking for someone, prefer gent, to take over the role of Barbossa... starting just before the curse. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Series Another of my RPGs. Takes place after the Film. Alas, REALLY slow.. in need of players. Pirates and Love The REALLY HOT & Steamy RPG that Christine gave a link to. Always welcoming new players & characters. Plenty of ideas to go around. A little slow with a couple characters. Though, open for some of the co-characters to be taken: Norrington, Groves, Gillette, Gibbs, AnaMaria, Jack's crew, Barbossa's crew, Jo's crew, etc. pirates ofthe caribbean This was an award winning RPG in which is slowly dying.. NOOOO! I don't want it to die as I have ideas for this one as well, have recently been made owner from the original owner who has kinda.. dumped it. Soo.. pretty much in need of almost everyone & new characters. The only characters that are taken: Jack & Gibbs. Black Pearl 1 Needing someone to temp Barbossa every so often. This I am hoping will be an interesting RPG as well. Otherwise, we have Jack, Will & Elizabeth. Willing to let someone take over some of Blackheart's crew. Black Pearl Legends Ooooh, this one will definitely prove to be a wild one as well! Hard to say what the plot is to this one.. but I'm sure Jack & Barbossa will find themselves in some DEEP trouble! PotC Twisted Tales This one is interesting. Jack has cursed himself with the Aztec Gold, captured a Princes of England who is a friend of Elizabeth. Will, Norrington, & Barbossa is needed here. As well as the minor characters. Barbossa more so... as I play Elizabeth (my first Elizabeth role) & Again, Barbossa is needed to help defeat Jack! Pirates Cove Uber slow at the moment. But, would like to see this one get going. Barbossa has kidnapped Governor Swann. Elizabeth (Again I am playing her) must enlist Norrington's, Will's & Jack's help in order to rescue her father. Lots of potential here! ::pants:: Ok.. that's a vast majority of them. A couple others though I think they are pretty much dead. A pity since I had fun with them & they had REALLY good stories going.

Guinevere, looks like Christine got to it before I. Hope you enjoy it. I honestly picked up Barbossa back in November here I do believe. & be portraying him sense. It's been wild. Damn the man can throw me for a loop! Seriously! You'd REALLY have to go back to when I started playing him to get the jist of most of it. But the stories are a bit slow, pardon on that. I wish they would go faster. I have TONS of ideas for the future, guaranteed it will get SOOOO wild, SOOOO intense... SOOO sexy! Plenty of romance, adventure, betrayal, suspense, action, horror, drama, etc...!1! Guaranteed! ::: Hands everyone a fan who has read the PaL post::: Yeah, cold showers, ice buckets, fans with really cold air, AC on high, etc. I agree, Siren. Rush & Depp I admire greatly & professionally as Actors. Nothing more. No crush on them... especially Depp, I think he had enough of the crushness back in the 80's, poor man. It's Sparrow & Barbossa that draws the attention. Though, is some cases, more Depp's fans than Rush's, they mix the character with the Actor. Sever that pretty head... Oh, dear. Not sure if I will want it to go that far. Despite that's what happened to Blackbeard, poor man. Let's just hope that doesn't happen to Barbossa!!! Yup.. one of the other pirates has the same earring. Keep an eye out for his crew. I'm not sure if others have the same earring as well. As to focused on Barbossa's face.... well... I'd have to admit, my eyes DO wander! Thin is not too bad. I wouldn't really call Rush thin... then again, I haven't seen him face to face. Ummm.. "Quills" ... ::Speechless still:: he doesn't look all that thin. Nor is he perfect body-wise compared to Orlando... but.. that's ok. Truly. ::Still stunned with "Quills"; jerks a tad:: That movie.. & those scenes will forever be imprinted in my mind. For one such as I - & Christine knows what I am talking about.. hopefully - Ummm... has ... ok, I have no word to describe it for these once innocent eyes. Not that it was TOTALLY bad. Working with Jack? Naw.. Barbossa would get rid of Jack at his(Barbossa's) earliest convinience. :) Fan fics, rpgs, pictures, fan art, the voice, even the movie is not enough. My desire for Barbossa has literially become insatiable. ::evil grinz:: Love fest! Well, I wouldn't say in the MIDDLE of it.. But... I'm sure it will most assuredly get wilder & steamy. Hopefully before the month is out! One of a... well, a few now... RPGs, m'dears, that have Barbossa in them. It's rather funny... Elizabeth & Barbossa are an item in it. Plus Elizabeth's daddy has fallen in love with a lady just SLIGHTLY older than Elizabeth.. & Jack has recently fallen in love with one of Barbossa's old Lovers.. & Will... has fallen in love with a French beauty & Josephine's (Barbossa's former Lover) Lady-in-waiting, "sidekick" or whatever you want to call her. Anyway....

:) Ditto, Nyre. With the patterns & the sewing biz. I've got a couple orders already... I have a friend who has asked me to be a part of their new business (Historical Attire). So.. .it's suddenly full steam ahead! Hoping I can keep up! I just adore the idea of the costuming now. & with the Sparrow-like pattern from Simplicity... & Butterick's Lady's gown/caraco outfit.... just fantastic! So... giving my hand a go at this. We shall see how this works out.

:) Oh, indeed, Charity! I love the fun of PotC. I admit, Treasure Planet was pretty fun as well... mostly the female feline cat.. love her sentances. Ted & Terry can come up with some rather fun stuff. :) If anyone has NOT seen Treasure Planet.. do... Captain Amelia is just a riot! "Doctor, let me give you a piece of advice, & I mean this in a rather caring way... Shut that Howling screamer!" One of many lines I so like. Barbossa die again? :: Shrugs:: Who knows. Maybe Jack will die heroically in the end or at the end of a hangman's necklace... again, who knows what the Writers have in store.. other than Bes.. Nope, no screencaptures of it. I guess... the diner scene is a good view of it. Off & on through the film you see some good shots of it. The earring.. :: Shrugs:: bloody hell if I know. Some have said a tiger's tooth he got from a trip in Asia, maybe a boar's tusk, or a bear's tooth.. or a claw a lion in Africa.. :: Shrugs;: Bloody hell if I know what it is. I made a similiar type earring filling a little of the neck bone of a turtle. One of the other pirates has the same earring as well.. bloody hell if I know his name... you can see it in that scene where he's rammed through the gut with the staff that Elizabeth had... with Jakoby & the other pirate as well in a line, trying a tug-of-war to get it out until Elizabeth & Will push them out of the moonlight after Will stuffs a grenade into Jakoby's belly! It's the tall pirate on the left.. you will see the earring on his right ear when he screams bloody murder after being rammed through with the rod. Oh, I plead the 5th (Or so the court lead to believe)... As to the appeal of Jack & Barbossa... Ummm, Depp is just a fantastic Actor, ditto with Rush. Their characters however... are beyond measure! What makes them SO appealing is the vareity of rebel, humanity, humor, intelligence, cunning, & all around appearance that gives them such an appeal. Barbossa being a fine example... as some people don't seem him as an attractive man physically. In due time, people like him... variety of reasons.. but the major reason being is his all around pirate appeal. He's all that is pirate lore! Blackbeard, Kidd, Rackham, Morgan, Roberts, etc.. all in one! Sparrow.. he's mostly Rackham to the point of fantastic fun... he relates easier to the innocent crowd, in a manner of speaking. He's good, he's fun, he's he kinda of guy your parents may be afraid of until he comes in & tells them about the "Chieftain" story.. then they will love him. Again, Barbossa.. he's the reality of life. He's truth, he's humanity, he's... us! His struggles are near to us. To the point people love it when Sparrow stops Barbossa in the end cause it gives hope that there is defeat as well... But, granted that others ruined Barbossa in his quest to be normal, it's all about relation to fictional characters. Plus we just love the hell out out of them.. they are WAY TOO WICKED!

Well, in an RPG I am in... Barbossa & Elizabeth are an item. Tis rather interesting. Guinevere, Yeah, Jack could be bound to the same Gods as well... well, sort of. To Viracocha, that is. Since Barbossa was in the curse for 10 years, his debt had been paid. But, he still belongs to the Gods. They are rather complicated yet simple. As to Barbossa REALLY being dead... umm, HELLO! He was cursed, skeletal, undead, etc.... if that wasn't unbelievable - which was made into believable - then I think they can find other ways of him to return! Pirate ghost stories run amok.. hauntings, curses, etc. It's just part of Pirate Lore. Jack also took some of Barbossa's wealthy... if that wouldn't piss him off. I can see Barbossa cursed again. Well... Maybe his resurrection has something to do with that necklace that he wears.. the one with the serpents. It looks like the celtic symbol of the 4 serpents with means "Immortality". So... who knows. He's no mere man, either. Or maybe Barbossa is just a bit oddly lucky. Hehehehe... Maybe voodoo would work since at the end of "League of Extrodinary Gentlemen" Alan Quartermain was resurrected by a witchdoctor. But that was only when he was laid to rest in the earth of Africa.... "Africa will not let him sleep". Again, we shall see what happens... how Barbossa makes a return appearance. Perhaps we will see new faces, which would be awesome... as the majority of the RPGs out there & fan fiction has come up with some intreguing characters. It's not meeting each other's match... it's just adding flavor & spice to an already colorful cast of characters. Colorful enough for a character or more can give another character major heartburn. Bess... I hope the hurricanes are not adding to too many delays in island hunting. Unless they were lucky enough to get that done already.

Yeah.... depressing in a way, isn't it? Stynky? I hope it does well. A couple friends of mine were excited about it until they found it too difficult to get ahold of it & now finding they won't have time for it. Let's hope we can get ahold of it soon enough.
