JoAnn Fabrics will be selling the Simplicity patterns for $.99 Aug 14th only! Heck! I plan to go back & buy more of that pattern! As well as a few more other patterns. I'm stocking up on them so I can make my own attire for later. :) Butterick patterns are on sale for $.99 again Aug 19th - 21st. Girls! I am SOOOO going to be stocking up! Oooh, happy days! :: Snoopy dances:: Oh! & Simplicity is having a costume contest! Check it out on their website or at your local JoAnn or other fabric store... hopefully, they will carry the contest. I'm definitely entering a couple of my costumes.

::le sigh::: Alas... I have no seen the music video. I've no cable nor can my comp handle viewing the video. I swear... I'm perhaps the only Country music & PotC Fan that hasn't seen the video. I loved that song from Terri Clark well before the Sparrow sighting. Terri Clark has some fantastic songs anyway. She's been on Late Night with Lia(Country music Radio personality) often. A couple times spoke of the video & the song. Hehehehe, she's a PotC fan. As well as Johnny. It's rather funny listening to how many women call in asking for that song, asking about the video.. asking about Johnny... Ahhh... Country music. Especially with so much dealing with drinking too... ::Sings:: Give me 2 pina coladas. One for each hand. We'll set sail with Captain Morgan... but we'll never leave dry land...." Anyway... I keep hoping that someday by some bloody miracle from God, I get to see that video.

::Yawns;:: I think they put sleeping powder or potions in the drinks from the new Bilge Rats. Anyway... will make this short & sweet... Happy Birthday, RumbaRue. TO a fantastic piratess. If gold & silver & jewels are not tossed at your feet ... may the cochroaches rot & burn in hell.

Check it out all! # 4923... it's meant to look Sparrowish... but, after looking at the pattern & a couple reviews from a PotC Costuming chat list... it's a grand buy! Pretty close to 18th c pattern cuts, even looks like a fall front breeches! Yes.. BREECHES! Not some silly drawn string pants or something that is not really all that period. I'd imagine that you can make it also fly front. Pattern includes a frock coat, waist coat, shirt, breeches & cravat. Available for adults & kids.

::Sings to a Will Tell theme::: Happy, happy bir-irthday! Happy, happy bir-irthday! Happy, happy bir-irthday! HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ppy, happy bir-irthday! Wishing you many, many more oh, great pirate of the seven seas! :) May your tankard all ways be filled with rum. & ship filled with many Errol Flynn look alikes. ::rolls over a barrel of rum:: a birthday present for ya.

The lyrics are interesting. Though, that's the best I could gather from what I heard from the singing. Though, that one line baffles me. I know I kinda misunderstood a couple words... such as Helms.. should be Hells. Just haven't had luck with finding out the lyrics to this Song.

Happy Birthday, Royaliste! Such a grand event for the great captain of a grand ship! :::rolls in a barrel of fine rum:: For ye, mate. & only the best for ya. :)

Aye... the Black Pearl herself is one of the greatest treasures. To have that much booty from the original ship... such is more than a treat! Lucky Louie

& a grand prize she is, Royaliste! Was wondering when you would be so kind as to grace us with the fantastic ship once more. :)

Another bday?! Oooo... a party indeed! ::Hands Drunken a bottle of fine rum:: I'd give ya something else... but rum is usually the most enjoyable of all the pirate presents. Here's to plenty treasure in you old sea chests, to your tankard that it be full of rum, to you health & again, of course your wealth... as well as your bed filled with dreams of all sorts of pleasure.

May your hold be filled with much treasure & plunder! Great cannon herald your Bday, Lassie! Wishing you many more... & from m' private stock, here be a fine bottle of rum!

Aye! Recreating/replicating the original props will be a task & a challenge & a half! & HOPEFULLY.. this time.. they will spend a little more & build a REAL ship of the Black Pearl! Most unlikely, but one can hope, pray, wish, etc.... would be cool.

Aye.. fair enough. I've not looked through the book myself. Though I know it's available via Jas. Townsend & Sons as well. They've also Waugh's books on both men & women.. plus many other books of fashion from the 18th c. Even a couple that extend into the 16th, 17th & 19th c. I found one pattern a year ago that worked well enough, though I had to make adjustments on the sleeves to make it more period.... Though, I can't seem to find that pattern now. I know it was a slightly older one & they seem to have discontinued a couple since then. But it is a fantastic idea is to take current patterns, adjust them to the actual proper look of the era. & LOVING the deals going on at JoAnn Fabrics & Crafts! I've bought 4 patterns from McCalls already. Didn't really need anything from Simplicity. Though, I know there will be a couple patterns from Butterick I will SOOO want! The hat pattern, stays, & maybe a couple outfit patterns. I will be SOOO stocked up on patterns to make some fantastic outfits. :)

A friend of mine brought this to light. I checked it out. Though it rather interesting. Not sure if someone had posted this before. But the same type of card game that made PokeMon & YuGiOh popular, is now of pirates! Pirates of the Spanish Main Enjoy all! & take what'cha can!

Oooo... lucky ol' sea dog you! The rigging of the Black Pearl! Wow.. now THAT is a treasure for sure! Fantastic... fantastic. :) Good to know things are going well with PotC sequels.... I hope. Still no sighting of the Barbossa/Dawg pistol?

Ahhh.... part 2! Kinda a take off of Charity's topic. Not restricted to PotC, nay... more for those of you out there with a nautical or specifically a pyratical. So.. ladies & gents, pirates & piratesses, wenches & sailors.... I'll go ahead & put forth my list of trinkets, treasure & possessions. I've yet to get a few chests, but in the meantime, my swag is as follows: A white linen rose courtesy of m' shipmate Pierre, thank ye kindly; a black feather rose for this blackhearted woman; 3 red feathers; a silver tea hostess set; a golden goblet; a few oriental vases; a brass tiger; several rabbit furs; oriental saki set trimmed with gold; a faceted brandy glass & a cavat; parchment paper, quill pens a plenty, & ink; a silver rose decorated jewelry box with the finest of jewelry I have; a smaller silver oval jewelry box with some rings; a small brass heart-shaped jewelry box with some more jewelry; a small wooden treasure chest; a black wood & clay chest from Hot Topics with the skull on it; the Sea Ghost animated ship (which I am custom making into the Black Pearl); a couple gold orniments from Colonial Williamsburg; a couple versions of the Jolly Roger, & will make my own version as soon as I finish Barbossa II's Colours; a several candle holders, both table sets & wall hanging; porthole mirror; several bowls of wood, brass, & silver; a wood ornimental plate from Russia; a painted, highly decorated tin from Europe; a couple wood orniments from Africa; a medallion like painted clay necklace; a couple Native pots; 2 sandlewood fans from China .... now these items I have acquired m'self as well as gifts.

Again, I'm sure I be leaving a few things out. So.. mates.. what is it that you have? Even show a pic would be fine. I'll see if I have some picture that shows a good portion of what I have.

Tis a good tribute for PotC. Well, Scurvy Dog, shall I begin a new thread for those to post a pic or 2 of their tribute to pirates, be it small or large? I'm working on a side room that I am making it look like a ship's cabin... as much as possible... getting some of the crap out of there left by may parents is MORE than a chore! It's hard labour! But... I'll start another thread for all ye grand pirates to post your fantastic pix or describe your pirate/nautical tribute. Eventhough I am sure there was one put out a few month back.. much can happen in a few months though. Aye? Again, good tribute. Did ya put it up on the Lost Soul of Barbossa photos, Charity? Ya should. Especially it Barbossa is involved. :)

Well, all... looking at figuring out a verse to in this song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ghost Ship 1 more year boys and a day, we'll set sail for far away; 'til then we toil, & work & sweat, 'til we pay off our cursed debt. We've been through the seven seas, we keep sailing with no breeze; ___?___ no anchor, touch no land, with death's head grins & skeleton hands. At the edge we heard a cry, sailed on passed & still we fly; We work the sails without wind, for seven helms, for we have sinned. We've forgotten all the laws, lost in time the curses' caused; A ship of inmates, a ship of death, the sails are filled by the Devil's breath. One more year, boys, and a day, we'll set sail for far away; Til then we toil & work & sweat, 'til we pay off our cursed debt. The sun & wind & moon & stars, the white sea mist are never ours; Still we chase them, shiver & shake, pray you don't cross our burning wake. One more year, boys, and a day, we'll set sail for far away; Til then we toil & work & sweat, 'til we pay off our cursed debt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone able to help with this? It's just that one verse above that I can't seem to decipher. Thank ye kindly for your assistance, mates.

The 3 of them were huge enough before PotC. Orlando being in Lord of the Rings, Black Hawk Down, etc. Johnny... hehehehe, well.. he's been rather huge since the 1980's. Kiera.. well, true.. she's a bit new to this.. but her major breakthrough was Sabe in Star Wars epis 1 as the Queen Decoy. Darn lucky girl! & Geoffrey... again, rather fantastic in his own right. & the suppporting cast... Jonathan Price! Hello! This dude is a Broadway Tony Award winner & also an amazing actor... even as the bad guy in Tomorrow Never Dies! ::le sigh:: Davenport! Funny as all get out in "Couples"! Lesbian spank inferno! One would have to watch that episode of "Couples" to get that one! & everyone else.... But ... keep in mind... if they continue with what made PotC:tCotBP a blockbuster hit.. then, PotC 2 & 3 will do great. All I know... I will be as patient as possible for it's release. & If & when Iron Bess can spill the info... then so be it.

SSSCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! ::In southern accent:: ah doo d'clara..... ::normal accent::: Happy Birthday, girl! :::Rolls in a keg of rum:: May you have many more Bdays so we can celebrate in such grand style & ... God knows whatelse can happen.

Oooooh, Nigel.... most kind of ya, mate.. ::slips around around your shoulder:: though.... my Bday was 2 months ago... if I do recall, this is for CAPTAIN Barbossa... his Bday was naught but a couple days ago. :) So... whatever ya said about me... can apply to the good Captain. Anyone with the name Barbossa is the boss! Actually.. there is a funny fan fic out there that uses 1 sylable words, & Barbossa is simply called Boss. For Barbossa... apple pie, apple tarts, apple cobbler with ice cream, apple cider, apples & caramel, apple fruit salad...... MerryD... have any apple lust dust?

Well... when MerryD an' I get out an' about upon the high seas of corn... I will do m' best to celebrate in all your places. Just tell me, what it is that I should do for our favorite pirate lady! :) I won't kiss her, that's one thing I won't do, gents!

I don't know, RumbaRue...:: takes one of Barbossa's apples; cuts up the apple; whips out some caramel dip; dips it & eats it::: Delicious with caramel. I'd say they would be good in an apple cobbler & apple pie. Mmmm... :::has another bite:::

Ooooo Barbarous! Wild devil you! Anyway.. a bit toned down here... Aye, the Hot Tub be a fun yet clean place. :) A lot of Long John Silvers we all be there. As to the OTHER hot tub & meade... that.. be at a certain place.... ::Whispers in ear((PM)):::

that's all we want to know, Bess. I know I would rather not know the story until I see it in the theater. I admit, I was rather stunned & surprized with "Curse...".. since I hadn't seen previews for it except for that earlier preview that had the Dracula soundtrack background music with the soaring over the waters coming up upon an island preview... I was intregued then. But never knew what it was about. Honestly thughtit was some modern day catch with Johnny Depp & some teens in some wickedly horror like Cape Fear thing! Believe my utter surprize whenI found out it was period.. lots of gents in breeches! ::le sigh:: heaven! So.. yeah... story... secret. & hopefully, all those damned rumors out there won't be true. I've heard so many that I am sick of them. I just don't pay attention to them any more... just.. awaiting the film's release & such now. Trying to be patient. Trying...
