LadyBarbossa

M'dear... I STILL haven't been able to get ahold of any cards! It's getting rather silly to the point I have been waiting for a pack since July.. & the damn store won't get them in yet. They can't seem to get ahold of more boxes! They keep selling out, so they tell me. I'm not the only one here trying to get ahold of them. ::le sigh:: Enjoying them? I won't order online. I just don't like to... long story...

Looks like Morgan had a blast! That is IF he got ahold of the cannons! Christine.... nice hat. :) Morgan! Can't wait to see your pictures, mate! Eager to go back to the PotC ride again?

:::wipes off Morgan's mouth:: Easy there, mate. ::hands him a bottle of rum to "rehydrate" himself:: Aye, Bess... I figured things were finally starting to go full steam ahead. Hope everyone is keeping up with the pace. I'm sure it's one hell of a production indeed. As to Barbossa's return... :: shrugs:: Mates... creativity. I've seen it in fan fiction & role playing games online. Plenty of good ways he could return. I guess we shall see what the writers come up with in the sequels. Besides... the Aztec Gods ... well, Viracocha on the side of that chest (stil kills me with that)... Barbossa honestly is bound to the Gods for all eternity. At least he didn't end up as an actual Aztec or Incan sacrifice. Granted, honorable... but still a mighty painful way to go! Ooooooh... so many ways Barbossa can get back into the mix.... let alone continue to get into trouble... poor ol' sea dog. Plus, lots of wealth involved in the New World... well... possible that war can be involved since by the appearance of the film it seems to be setting close to the Seven Years War... Oooooo, what a thrill! Again.. so many possibilities. So many choices... so much FUN! Heaven help them all...

Hmmm.... ahhh, the ever fun subject of attire. Well... I'm an American Revolutionary War re-enactor. I have the Ladies attire as well as working on men's attire for my uniform as a dragoon of Lee's Legion & to double as a dragoon in Tarleton's British Legion. Finding period correct items is truly a pain in the arse! Mostly for women to find some material decent & correct for the gowns. Men... I think is a tad bit easier.. though sometimes hotter if you wear a damned regimental. But I do keep to as close to authentic as possible. It's a condition I guess being a rookie re-enactor, this being my 3rd year. I wear the gowns, one made with a machine, one hand sewn even hand embroidered. I've a hunting frock I bought from a sutler & making breeches, hand sewn. Then my pirate outfit at current with the pantaloons, ruffled shirt, waistcoat, frock coat... all with 100% cotton & breathable.. I've a few other pirate attire in mind, including the Calico Cat look from the card game Pirates of the Spanish Main & a Spanish Conquistador look. Unnatural material tends to be hot compared to natural... plus, I have been told by many, natural is more flame resistant than unnatural.. :: Shrugs:: Bloody hell if I know.. I'm NOT going to test that though! I'd say go with what is comfy. Aye... gents adore the petticoats... but the breeches/slops/trousers/pantaloons with a shirt - ruffled or not, any design - with a waistcoat of any sort, stockings or not.. shoes or boots.. etc... Depends on your climate I guess as well. :)

Bloody hell! Tito had a Bday?!? ::Grumbles:: an' I missed it!... ::whimpers:: Oh, well... :: Tosses Tito a bottle o' rum:: Here ya are, Mate. Suppose... I should add an extra to yer new shirt, eh. :) I'm sure I can conjure & scower fer somethin'. Hope ya had a fine day. If not.. well, then.. someone should kidnap ya & take ya out to have a fine day an' all. :) again.... HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRTTHHDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!

Again, can't say I know that chocolate is better than sex... but the chocolate is FAR better than anything made by Herseys... let alone the Godiva chocolates.. Or any other chocolate I've had before. It's made WITHOUT any parafin (?) wax... & it's made locally in Eu Claire, Iowa! :) As to attractin' gents like an East India Company prize ship ripe for the taken... So I have been told.. but alas - be it good or bad, I am still debating it... thus far good.. since it's obviously givin' me some fun opportunities - I've no gent who's decided to be courtin' this pirate Lady. It has it's ups & downs I guess. I've been told.. I'm rather imposing & intimidating. Right good for a pirate such as I. :) But.. Billy... I'll tell ya this... You HAVE to try one of those chocolate truffles... or as many as possible! They are just delightful! So good :) But Pete makes it all the worth while to visit the store. She is a riot. Though... for those of you unable to make it here to Iowa to visit Pete at the Olde Fashion Candy Company... you can order them via phone or online. :) Anyway.... ::Looks at Barbossa II; grabs one of the green apples double drenched in caramel; offers it to him:: A trade? Pictures for the apple? Trust me, mate.. this apple YOU WILL WANT! I had one on Thursday... talk about DELIGHTFUL!!!! OMG!!... ::Clears throat:: anyway... ::: evil chuckles:: Evil, am I not? ::Sings & dances around to "Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson!:::

:) Aye.. the book series is now an animated series. Redwall TV series Is the link to the animated series. The series is just fantastic. But the interviews & documentary shorts at the end of each episode is awesome... especially the pirate shorts during the Martin the Warrior episodes. It was wild to see the pirate short documentaries.

MerryD.. they are indeed SOO good... but better than sex.. :::shrugs::: One of these days, I'll get ya to the shoppe so you can try one of those fine chocolate truffles. There are MANY of them that are just fantastic! :::holding a box of the truffles; looks at Animal:: These... Barbossa gets first dibs on them... the 3 of them, if they so desire... they being such fne gentlemen of the sea. Even now, there is a green apple that is double drenched in caramel! Had one the other day... I have to say, it was pure heaven! :)

Not sure if anyone posted this before. But, I haven't seen anything. My niece & nephew LOVE a series called "Redwall" that is set during a Ren era with animals from the Writer's native lands of England. In some episodes of Redwall, mostly about Martin the Warrior... they use pirates or raiders of various sort. At the end of each of these episodes was an explaination of pirates, pyracy & what was used by some crew whom I am sure someone who did that would be on this Pub. Each pirate documentary short was different after each episode. Well worth checking it out. Especially for you young pirates. :)

Oooooh, I'm sure there will be. I'm sure they will surprise us as well.

My parents get AAA's "Home & Away" magazine for the Minnesota/Iowa region. In the Sept/Oct issue they talk about pirate fests in Florida. What makes this SOOO cool is that it's a cover story! The cover is REALLY fine for a pirate such as I... a chest overflowing with GOLD! Covering 3 pages, the article has a few good pictures of pirates on the Jose Gasparilla. As well as a singing group of pirates at Pirates in Paradise... plus a picture from the Disneyworld Pirates of the Caribbean ride... & a cute kid looking like a pirate with a penciled in 5 o'clock shadow.... aww, really cute. There is mention in there of Pirates in Paradise fest even when it is & who to contact calling this a fantastic event & must go to as well as the Gasparilla fest. Mentioning of Mel Fisher Maritime Museum... the Ghost Tours of St. Augustine as well as the re-enactment of Robert Seales historic invasion upon St. Augustine. If anyone is able to get their hands upon this issue of "Home & Away"... I STRONGLY suggest it for pirates! What a GREAT way for the pandlubbers of the northern midwest to be shown pyracy & have their own version of plunder & treasure.

ANIMAL! :::Shakes finger - good one not the bad one - at him::: wily ol' sea dog. Hehehehe.... Scupper... I've plenty of chocolates 'round here to top Godiva. They are WAY better than Godiva. :) ::ponders::: Gold would be good punishment. :::Attempting an innocent look with a wicked smirk::: ::Tosses both Animal & Scupper each a bottle of rum:: There ya be. I hold the best of my stock for Barbossa... hehehehe... all 3 of them here. As well as my wine... which I'm sure a certain Barbossa might like wine from the Amanas. I've 2 bottles from there.... if not 3... I think 3. 1 being the Lover's Wine. Anyways... straying from the topic by Barbossa II here.. which, he's torturing me... actually so are the others.. with their being at DragonCon.. :: whimpers; le sigh:: As well as wanting pictures.. LOTS of them of him as well as everyone. Can't wait to see pictures of the Jolly Roger.

Pewter? :::pause:::.... Pewter?!?! Now, mate...we be pirates. Granted gold is rather... pricy... but what do we pirates care. Silver would be a fine choice. Ooooh, sufferin' silos... Pewter be fine 'nough. Though wouldn't mind silver if no gold. ANYWAYS.... :) Sounds rather.... interesting. Will be rather hard to give to just one. I've curious as to who will receive this award... :: Goes to the site:::

HHAAAAAAAAAAAPPPYYYY BBIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRTTTHHHDDAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Crimsoncrow. Here be rum... ::Tosses ya a bottle o' the finest rum from me own private stock..::::: ..... women... :: opens the door so that a flood of Tortuga Ladies rush & pounce ya..::: ... but th' gold, mate... I be keepin' tha' fer m'self! I'm plannin' t' "Commandeer" th' Bounty within the next couple months...

Not at all, Scupper. Wish you & others could join the lot of us here. I'm aware that not everyone can make it... but, always good to make an attempt than NOT making that attempt at all. So... whoever can is welcome to join us. Just figured this would be a fine place to post to give fellow pirates the heads up on what is going on & what we be plannin'. :)

:::Blushin'::: Awwww... ::Bows b'fore Barbossa II::: The pleasure is all mine. Most welcome. I also look forward to seein' the pix. Can't wait. Give 'em hell at DragonCon.

Happy Bday, Blender Wench! I've no much t' say. Have a grand day of plundering... give 'em hell... & if anyone steals your rum... hang 'em after you shot their hands off.

WICKEDLY COOL, Paisley! Someone I know out east is attempting to talk me into going. So... Who knows. Would be awesome to go. Keep me on the side for "Just in case".

UPDATE!!! HMS Bounty info The HMS Bounty will be remaining at the Pier in Chicago throughout October & 'dressed up' as a ghost ship thorugh October! So, may change the Invasion a little. Still looking at joining Toby as Jack Sparrow at the Museum of Science & Industry on September 18th for the MovieMakers exhibit there. Maybe a casual group outing to the Bounty. But will plan a major Pirate Invasion in October to coordinate with the HMS Bounty. I am discussing this with the Pier at the moment. Interested? Let me know! October Invasion TBA soon.

Very cool! Good to hear he's returning. Granted Johnny, Geoffrey, Orlando & Keira made great as Principals, but theco-stars like Mackenzie made the movie all the more an adventure ... each character grabbed your interest.

Just 8, huh? Hmmm... will be tough... Partially agree with Christine on that. Since I already have 2 of the 2-disc DVD. One from Wal-Mart for that coin, the other from Blockbuster for the rental card. Hey, I grabbed what memorabilia I could. But, neither can top my standee of Barboss! :::HUGS grinz::: Hmm... I Guess, we shall see what it will be eventually. Hopefully more with Barbossa... since there is little that have Rush as Barbossa in the bonus'. Again... only 8?!?

A very stunning frock, Cap'n Grey! That be a shirt underneath that coat? I applaud thee upon such a fine venture. It be worth it's weight in gold, to be sure! Here's rum on me for such a fine coat. :::Gives ya rum bottle::

AHOY an' AVAST! all ye who either frequent or not th' port o' Chicago! The HMS Bounty be returnin' to the Navy Pier for the month of Sept! Sep. 3-26 Tall Ship H.M.S. Bounty Navy Pier 600 E. Grand Ave. Chicago, IL 60616 (312) 595-PIER Guests of all ages will be invited to participate in a spectacular, month-long, educationally-oriented event involving tours and stories regarding the Bounty - one of the most widely recognized tall ships in the world. I've spoken with a couple other fellow pirates in the Chicago area about an Invasion in the future. How's about an Invasion on a weekend when the Bounty is in the waters of the Lakes? Welcome to ideas on what else to do, where else to go. Would be fun to be on the Bounty, get as many pirates as possible for a photo for Morgan! Ahoy, Morgan! Our favorite Patriotic Pirate! HUZZAH! Come pirates from WI, IN, IL, IA, & some of you who dare to come from OH .. or even MN, MI & MO! What say ye?

Tis a pity Toby won't go for it. He'd make a fantastic Sparrow! What about Wade? I know Wade was rather bummed over the Toy Faire thing... maybe getting him into Disney would be awesome. May cheer him up a bit. Or even Jimmy! Jimmy makes an awesome Jack. As to Barbossa... Oooo.... between only 2 gents I am aware of that dress up like the ol' Captain.... & then there is Barbarous here if & when a fine attire is constructed for him.... I'm sure Barbossa will be a challenge. Oh! & Pintel & Ragetti! Those 2 are just 'da bomb'! Yes, Bess .. you can relay that on to Lee & Mackenzie. Maybe more PotC fun stuff... besides just the ride... like a stage show like they do with all the other Disney stuff like Indiana Jones... I think... Maybe be so bold as to actually have the Black Pearl ship... ::gasp:: it can sail behind the Columbia. Still hoping for a PotC Convention. & the theaters are not being all that cooperative on reshowing PotC, let alone doing the PotC Interactive... since the Interactive was meant as a fundraising idea. I've tried it here since March with little luck or sucess. Was hoping to raise money for the families of the Signal Battalion out of CR.. but they returned to the US in May-June. ::Le sigh:: Just wanting more, this blood-thirsty pirate fandom .... :)

Umm... no. I think I have seen that "avatar" more times than I care to. Since a friend of mine has been using that for her IM icon for months. I say turned the bloody bilge rat over to Barbossa & his cursed pirates.
