Pirate Seika

Interesting ... i think today's depiction of pirate lingo is really just the result of Hollywood's spin on pirates... After all pyracy was not an anomaly.. it was worldwide... spanning from b4 the beginning of recorded history to present day.... and of course pirates from their own areas of the world would have spoken in their own accents and dialects... i think WE (meaning English speaking)choose the English pirate accent as the accepted.. seeing that for us it obviously is the easiest to replicate... just my thoughts...

I don't drink tea or coffee.. or anything with caffeine for that matter.. but a nice cup of hot lemon with cloves and ginger hits the spot.. or a good cranberry lemon ginger and clove toddy... Sugar in Chinese tea..? obviously u're NOT Chinese... lol

"Kraken!!!!" squawked the bird....

"Get lost Bird!!!!" snapped

so far there is only Cap'n John and I.. but we may be able to commander Cap't Bedlam and his lady to join our crewe.. so that would put us at a grand total of 4...

not sure what to do with the geetar.. but i generally take along my pipa (chinese lute) in replacement of ... the body shape and sound have remained the same for about 500 yrs.. so they r a pretty good trade off.. of course u will have to learn how to play the lute.. but u can play anything on it that u play on the geetar!!!! and it's period...

awww.. shiver me timbers.. Hurricane... *blushin pyrate here* I shall inform Harry that yarr entire crewe will be wanting the mark.. and if ya be lettin me know how many there be.. i shall offer yarr me crewe discount.... xoxox

Cap'n John and I will be heading down for sure.. but we haven't any concrete plans as to where we will be staying as yet.. I'm still hoping to be a vendor this year.. but won't know until Harry gets back to me in the summer...

"Help ye with what?" the Captain retorted. " Explain yer presence on my ship?" The lady's devilish grin softened to a seductive smiled as she glided across the deck toward the Captain's quarters.

squawked, Move aside bird!!!

will do... still new at this pirate BB.... so many topics i can't keep track of them all...

Cap'n John and I will be driving down from Torontuga (Toronto)about a week b 4 PIP and makin a stop to visit friends on Anna Maria Island... we'll likely head down a few days ahead depending on whether or not I get to be a vendor or not... *crossing fingers Harry agrees to give me a chance* Might have room for a pirate or two from Sarasota down if any r interested...

sir william cecil...aka lord burghley

Never........

thou may kneel before thee and grovel...

Why thank you... if you ever require a letter of mark...

wow... beautiful costume piece.. i try to NEVER be of the upper class or royalty at any outdoor event in the heat... it is not conducive to my pirate persona..lol although i have been known to don my Eliz the oneth costume for the right price... it's ridiculously hot and weighs about 40 lbs... took me a week and about 15 hours of hand sewing and 40 yards of fabric i just prefer bein a Pirate or a Gypsy... this is the Liz costume.. yes i was paid handsomely to wander about a castle for 4 hours in character i prefer to look like this or this... i'm the blonde on the end ok.. enough digressing.. this is not at all pertaining to PIP anymore...lol

I plan on being at PIP this year ... not quite sure in what capacity.. hoping to be a vendor/sutler... spoke to Harry.. so I have my fingers crossed ... any ideas for a pirate bribe... lol

quartered... left for display

to the yard arm

Ahoy Maties... sail into Torontuga and dock your ship in Salty Cove for the 2nd Annual Pirate Festival at Historic Fort York in Toronto Canada. This is up on the calendar so if any savvy pirates are making for the port of Torontuga (Toronto Canada)in late August ye be sure to find Pirate Seika and Cap'n John Swallow plunderin the fort and singin a shanty or two in the pub.... The adult pub night is loads of bawdy piratical fun!!!! The Pirate Festival

some fresh bread i made ...an orange and a slice of halvah....

i'm kinda partial to pirate attire.. but the next best thing is gypsy... given neither of those arrr available i like my man in cargos and t's or skater shorts... i like long hair and a nicely trimmed goatee.. my guy has waist long dreads as well and an earring... he really is a pirate no matter how ya dress 'em

harrr harrr just so happens this pirate is a certified galley chef... and i love me steaks nicely grilled and still bleedin... to me the best steak is virgin.... nothin but an excellent 2" cut sirloin plopped on the grill..... maybe a little salt and pepper after the fact... i know what exotic tastes i have i live on the edge ....

Aye... a man in a kilt *swoon* but as far as skirts... i have the best of both worlds here.. i wear pants or a skirt with bloomers... to help keep the dang skirt outta the way i hike up the front portion and tuck it through me belt..... so i can swash buckle me way and still look like a lady (ya right)..lol my beef is the bodice.. hate them hate them hate them.. don't care how much cleavage it gives me.. they are horrid nasty pieces of work...
