theM.A.dDogge

Wasn't any of the girls' tents, that's fer sure... i left me kilt at home...better ask ...Callenish....

you would not belive how many times we have run up against opposition...before anyone has seen it!?!?! so ....to counteract this....we have/are compiling a tape as well as letters of refference.....from all the museums, faires, shows, and forts(hinthint)....or from anyone official sounding...that we may send these ahead to quell the nervous stomachs of myopic officials. please...if anyone feels obligated to do so...our crewe would love letter of refference for the hangins....please send to the Captain Sterling. thanks.

I am open to ALL ideas from the Arch Angel crewe. You black dogs outdid yerselves agin this year. Not only taken the gold, but havin a right mutiny, with the crewe hangin the captain and turning Pyrat. Now can ye see why yer crewe be our role models? We are Sunset performers and I think we can perform both types of hangins at the pier. Aye, let's have a sit down, be a blue moon yet? i'd be up for that....but first we gots to convince the wife i can come back... ...!?!?! she starting to figure out how much fun i actually did have!?!? an she aint buyin that there was even a competion.....let alone that i won anythin....considerin i didn't even git home with a trophy or nuthin.... but i do have the gold medal....i have yet to take it off....!?!?! :angry:

oi...i think you and Diosa are top of the fan club.. ..tho she might have ya beat...she actually crept into my tent in the dead of morning...and swiped the "green fairy"...!?!?!? :angry:

I don't know if it was the authority in your tone in this post but this is the first photo of you where you DON'T look like a teddy bear. (salutes the Dogge' - sir yes sir) It is a marvelous piece of theater, as well as a lesson about our past. It's definitely something to leave people thinking about who we are as human beings. I think exploring the social impact in an open dialogue with the crowd afterward is a great educational tool. I mean to start a dialogue about the psychology of mob mentality and the reasons these things were performed publicly..WOW!!! I have to agree my only thoughts afterward concerning performing it in front of a public audience of adults and children was that the humor in some instances may be considered in bad taste. I know we're a bunch of artists who are fascinated by the whole thing so the humor is amusing to us, I have to admit I really enjoyed it! .... but my first thought would be that in broad daylight in the middle of a festival more people would be offended by the HUMOR than they would by actual hanging. Historically it is a heavy part of our past especially in these parts and to make a joke of it concerned me more than the thing itself. I think that would be more likely to get people on our backs. this paticular show was performed with ONLY the fellow pyrates in mind.......our shows for the general public differ greatly in that we always try and teach an aspect of history as well as keep our humour appropriate for the situation with our audience in mind....first rule of theatre. we tailor our scenarios to the goals of each event as well as to the public audience. if for a family show...we're not as scarry....if for adults...a few blue jokes....etcetc....we try and have a new sc ript for evry performance. this one was for PiP in paticular....with the jibe at Capt Spike(bastard)....Not-Nigel and Not-Maddogge...etcetc.....and like i think it was stated earlier...this was just a taste...a sample....we usually have an ALL DAY SCEENARIO that leads up to the hanging.....where many of the public get involved...to the point we actuially have the audience mebers themselves vote and decide the fate of the poor victim....they have NEVER disappointed.

Ye never have fun... riight then...next year i'll have to try harder.... :angry:

dere Teechr, pleese excuze Bo from skool, four he 'as a lot of drynkin....er.....worke too due. syned, Bo's MoM

:angry: ...oh....that explains it....but did i have fun????

well done well done.....now that your certified....you can tell the rest of us...we should be?!?! :angry:

pssssttt!!!??.....Mary......why don't i remember this photo taken??? when was this taken?? why don't i remember this??

once again...the corpse gits all the hooplah.....not the guy doin all the work.....shheeeesh....always a bridesmaid never a bride. ok....seems like everytime we do the "hangin"...we go thru the same converstaions.....My Brother Billie , damn neer brother Andy and I developed this scenario some 10 years ago now durring some Wild West Re-actments. we've pretty much done them every way possible....humourous, serious, neer;hangin...multiple hangins...for familys...for adults only...daylight...nighttime....gallows....horses...trees...breaskaway limbs...escapes....so on so on Now what i find interesting....is that the same reservations of the THOUGht of seeing a hanging....are neerly the same...before they actually see it.....but noone in 10 years you has actually see us perform the HANGIN....as ever complained..... now...Everytime we do this for a PUBLIC AUDIENECE...there are some guidlines that WE demand..... 1. only 1 of the three of us who developed this stunt...are in charge of the "rope"... 2. we only "hang" someone who we have worked with..and can trust that will follow our saftey rules.... 3. Never is anything actually round the neck....we might have a "dummy" peice...but is not actully attached to the "rope" 4. everything is checked nd re-checked...and checked again....by one of the 3..... 5. we always ask ...."permision"...from the crowd before we proceed.....in 10 years they have NEVER stopped us!!!! 6. if we are performing for families....We first announce what we are about to do....then we MUST give an IMMEDIATE DEMONSTRATION on how we do it...for saftey...show the MOVIE MAGIC...to the kids up close and personal...show the Hung isnt hurt...and nevernevernever try this at home..... 7. we always solicit impressions of the "show"...as to make the illusion more seemless. 8. ???? so....from all of us...thank you so much for the kudos....this hangin feels like our baby....we have always strove to show it in a realistic light....to show what would have really happend...from the gang mentality....to the suddden silence of the crowd right after the jump. we dont feel that in front of kids...it should be too light.....tooo funny...we would hate for them not to think a hanging would be dangerous....but at the same time...we dont want it too grotesque either.....more of a middle ground...just a taste.... i always find it interesting the reactions of the audience....when they go from...i dont think i want to see this...to...well if everyone else wants to...to hang the bastard....to ....damn...they actually hung him?? and just think...many of our realitives made a picnic of this?? so please...continue with your impressions.....i'm taking notes on them all..... and remember...... wherever there is injustice....i'll be there with the rope!! the Hangman

Haha, does the chemise have green ribbons in the sleeves and hand stitching on the neckline and cuffs? Aye that it does... I collect more items from the quartermaster's family than anyone else... hmmm are we sure we want him to be the quartermaster? Let's see, cravat from Mr. Abbington, Neckerchief from JiJi, OH Mae's poster, and now Brig's underpinnings...all in my tent... Captain, let's not tell the QM that I left my underthings in your tent.
