Sounds amazing! Kudos to ye. Can't wait to see images of yo'r attire.

Welcome, Sawney Beane. A pleasure to have ye joining us here at the Pub. 🏴‍☠️

Glad ye joined us here at the Pub, Tropic Thunder. 🏴‍☠️

Nice! Looks sharp. 😉

A hearty welcome to ye, Toby Jack. Welcome to the Pub. Ye won't find any finer piratical place than this. 🏴‍☠️

RANSOM!!!! 🏴‍☠️ Glad to see ye and welcome back. Good to have the Pub back open, isn't it?

Absolutely love it! 😁🏴‍☠️

So... recently... or these past couple years, I've been called "Cute" when I'm dressed up as a pirate. I don't think Pirates are cute, but people seems to think I'm cute as a pirate. HA! Oh, what a riot. What do you think? Are Pirates cute? Can Pirates be cute? If a Pirate is called cute, are they really a Pirate? Offer yer 2 doubloons, me hearts! 🏴‍☠️

I understand that Mad Davy Flint passed away back in November. No doubt he'll be sorely missed. 😔🏴‍☠️

🤣🤣🤣 I'm damn well more than half tempted to buy one! I know my Pastor and his wife would get a monstrous kick out of it! 😆🏴‍☠️

You are most welcome. I've more than enjoyed the site for a year now. Some good info. Have yet to try any products.

OK... more amazing tea fun from the East India Company... Now it's a limited edition Boston Tea Party tea chest! Boston Tea Party merch and stories 🏴‍☠️

Stynky gets they Pirate Plunder Award of the Year for the big score of wool fabric! 😆🏴‍☠️😉👍 Seriously though, that screams major awesome project!

These are all so awesome!! Kudos to you all? Can't wait to see the finished product, TSmith! 😉 Stynky... love the mattress pad. Good luck with the cot. Hope you find a comfy one. Military surplus stores used to have canvas and wooden cots. I had one for several years until it broke. Holds up rather well really. Did anyone ever make like a portable 17th/18th c daybed for events? Does anyone use a hammock?

Amazing place for sure. I'm whimpering wishing I could attend. 🏴‍☠️

Sorry for the double posting here but... I TRIED to play my viola and my niece's violin like a cello, and... well.... epic fail! Not so much the placement of fingers, but the string and bow movement and placement. If you had a shorter bow, it might work. The lower cord strings are tilted that makes it difficult to play. Possible with LOTS and LOTS of practice, I guess. Good luck! Otherwise, a Viola Da Gamba might be a lot of fun to play with the extra cords as a mini-cello.

I think that's a Viola da Gamba. It's very much played like a Cello, and has more strings than a Violin, Viola, or Cello. Nice find! 😉👍🏴‍☠️

Viola is a lovely sound. Anyone have links to the sheet music to the songs they play? If it's in typical Treble clef, that's fine. I can easily convert to Alto clef. I can certainly play "Blow the man down" and "Drunken Sailor" on viola, as well as "British Grenadiers". That's awesome ye mentioned "Au Claire de la Lune", Mr Bagley. I think I have that somewhere and shall have to learn that one, too. I've a viola and was learning to play that. I had a cheap plastic fife once and always dream of that gorgeous rosewood fife. I suppose a fife could have been an instrument that was possibly played, too, aye? 🏴‍☠️🎻

Ooooooo... 😍 Ok... now they are on my new, updated 18th c Wishlist. 😉🏴‍☠️

Neat examples. I've been lucky from time to time to find pewterware, including porringers. Plenty of pewter drinkware, too, like tankards and little alcohol sippers. All drinkware have solid bottoms to them, instead of the clear fake bottom. The more wonderful surprise, and I snatched them up quickly, were the Blue Danube or Blue Onion tableware as those are the closest I've seen to period tableware. Lord! Those plates back then were STUNNING! I even found tankard made in Holland that wasn't delft, but perfectly mimicked 18th century designs. All the above I've found at Goodwill over the years. The most difficult or impossible to find have been the 3 or 2 prong forks. A lot can pass for the spoons and knives, but nothing today can mimic the forks. Does anyone bring period like bottles? Like the onion bottle? 🏴‍☠️

Don't ye hate when that happens? Well, glad Long Beach went well nevertheless. What very few pictures I've seen, and from two people reporting in after going to the event, it sounds like it was a lovely pirate event.

A hearty piratical welcome to ye, master Bryan! 😉🏴‍☠️

So... apparently PotC 1 is NOT showing in Iowa. I guess when Disney meant select, they really meant "let's show PotC in too few theaters and not show it in some states!" sort of thing. Foreign fans are livid. I don't blame them. Either way, watch PotC and post about it. Grab Disney's attention. There was a hint from Martin Klebba of PotC 6, so.. like it or not, we just might get another PotC film after all. 🏴‍☠️

Rock on! Have fun sporting the new outfits. 😉🏴‍☠️

A hearty welcome to ye, Master Wendell. 😉🏴‍☠️
