theM.A.dDogge

alright ...from one who has yet to have the pleasure of seeing yer wonderful city...(though i do have family down there)... gotta ask....why NOT go into the cemetaries after darK?

well ya know...i bought me murdoch from scottland... ...and due too international gun laws...they were unable to ship from there to here. ..unless they didn't drill the frizzen hole.. .no hole ...ya have a non-firring weapon...hence replica. ..course drilling yer own frizzn hole was 'bout the easiest thing i ever did ...course i'm just sayin'....

So what if he were to make the actual sale off property?? I just think it would be a shame especially for the reenactors who might be wanting to load up on a few more pieces to actually use during the event, but of course we certainly don't want Harry to get into any sort of trouble either....

well.....as long as it was just harry gettting in trouble...i would be willing to risk it

Billy Beach (or Beech, I'm not sure how he spells it.)

damnation...its spelled BILLIE BEACH (jr)...our granny Beach liked it thought that spelling was prettier when she named our dad

am i going MADDDD???....or did i just hear a bunch of PYRATES discussing FOLLOWING the RULES?????

thats what i thought being a "PYRATE" was all about..."FREE-TRADE"

i know at most events ive been to....only weapons that have an "interior" or "closed" firring mechanism" would have to follow weapon laws

flintys and even cap and ball weapons (anything without a cartridge) would go under "replicas" and therefore did not follow the same guidelines....in modern terms...liike i was told at the border crossing into canada...when asked if i had any weapons...."NO...I Mean REAL weapons"

ifn ya ask nicely...they should let ya sell yer wares

But MOST importantly.....

1.) I had mine........ before Mad Dog got his! 

 

Oh yes...I forgot to mention this in my review. I got mine before Mad Dog as well. Evidently he's the man to beat.

yeahyeahyeah.....if i'm not AT the bottom of the list...then i am NOT on the listr atoll....

Captain looks at Maddogge and Rats, and the snotties... chuckling low...all he can say is.. "um....ahem..."

whys i gots to be named FIRST alls da time....????

i have no idea why ya'll dont's like sunrises...personally i likes em a lot...without sunrises...how would i know its time for bed??

i have know idea.....i tried to stay up once to see if i snore or talk in me sleep...but i kept falling asleep...so i never did figure it out??

oi cap'n...oh i can tie a knot...its the un-tie-in i gits a problem wit

so ok...heres' the trick...don't lie in the hammock length ways...end to end...but more diagonal like...damn near sideways....that way ya don't need the "perfect distance " tween to uprights...and you actually lay flatter for a better nights sleep thats more comfortable....mine is actually an ecuadorian made hammock...made the same way for damn near a thousand years...or so "they" said...whoever "they" are....and i can sleep in mine with the ends damn near touchin.....so distance really never comes much of an issue.....

thinkin 'b out just me fly of my wall tent...use that as a tarp staked to the ground eh'?....then just a stout stick or two to keep and end up...or a little rope work....an viola!!!!!.....a big mess on the ground...most likely me hammocks a commin too...try ta keep way from the red ants...tho i heard they are not half as bad as the deadly chartruse ants....

just tyhought the fly was lighter and easier packed then the wedgie/lean to....

personally i just look at the SPELLING.....COTTON starts with a "C"....LINEN starts with a "L"

damn...got ta buy ink

yeah...i was braggin about the free "dirt" one year a ta wild west event...thu me self in the middle of the dusty road to get the right look...and discovered that besides dirt...a very fresh "road apple" works as well...not bad for the complexion either i might add.

oi...anyone mention good ole fashioned "durt" yet?...seems to make any impression better by simply being dirty....sure ya tried to weear your best at times...or work clothes seperate...but how many shirts did ya really have?...and shoes?...or waistcoats?...how often were these really washed? or mended?...many seamen became great sewers by necessity...many did not....seems (to the audience) they always pick out the grubby bum/hobo/wino looin guy as a real pyrate...than the neew store bought fancy man.....

plus dirts cheap....

got tickets ...now what...where do we officially sign up to participate....is the PiP site the newest updated version?...saw register form there... anyway to just e-mail it it?...or is snail mail only way?

please excuse me if this has already been addressed...didn't see it mentioned anywhere....

oi.. got me a flight into keywest Thursday arivin about noonish...leavin out tuesday about 3ish

will be flyin with a blackpowder gun case(airline approved) fro cabelas (63"double rifle to hold em all...the fishtail plus blunder plus a pistol or two)...and an extra large dufffle (scuba bag)...with clothes swords and canvas,& b;ankets...plan on findin a stick somewhere for a ridge or a rope line 'tween some trees.....

whoo hoo...gittin excited now....

yeah...but they all had it commin...all of em did...da basta'ds.....and thier lil dog totto too....ill git ya me pretty.....he...hehehehehe..... oopps...nevermind

oi..william

done got me aero-plane tickets...non-refundable...so guess puts me down on the "confirmed" list

fliyin in to key west proper...thursday around noonish....stayin til tuesday afternoon

planned on stayin at the fort....how early can we set up camp...how long can we stay before we get the ole' heave ho???

oh yeah...tar will be swords, knives, boardin axes, cudgels,rocks, dead fish, live fish, sea guls, coral, a palm frond or two perhaps, even a cast iron pot...or whatever else seems ta be handy....

damn-nation boy...i am mightly impressed at yer sewin skills...considerin it looks as if ya has NO HANDS in the pictures ya posed...how the hell do ya thread the needle???

well ...quit braggin...lets see yer work....eh?

tho to be in a combat scenario ie BATTLE...a sword is not always necsary to be in a "sword fight"....kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight.....there are plenty of references of cudgels...ie "big ass stick"....also single sticking was a safe way to practice sword techniques in port....while the irish/scottish/welsh...were known to have stick fighting bouts...kinda like boxing with a club in yer hand....

in fact we have used several scenarios where the invaders to camp were repeled by...well what ever was handy....iron poker...an axe....cast iron pot firewood...etc.....same goes for this....a walking stick was carried in many a period portraits....but carried at the ready...not used for walking...especially in port were many local lawws prohibited carriying of weapons......

in a perfect world...everyone would have a beutiful sword and pistol to be envy of fer sure....but in reality...if someone uglier than me was chasing after me....im picking up whatever was handy to even the odds in me favor.....

sorry ...rambling again....

yo...cassie....yeah...im bit of a half breed meself.....a mix of a gun guy...and sword guy...guess just depends on how close they are??

not for my big ol but....er i mean mr manly large shoulders and girth....oh never mind
