Quartermaster James

Taking this thread back to it's origins...

Since these German toasters made there appearance here, I have learned that there are similar items available stateside. Not pyratical mind you, more Mickey Mouse, or Winnie the Pooh, mind you.

So, my devious little mind is wondering if one could take one of these units and customize it with a "toast stencil" of one's own design?

Hmmm...I see the "Toaster project" looming on the horizon!

Mmmm...toast!

Quartermaster James...you shouldn't have..woah I've just redecorated..this'll go on the wall!

Silly Cat!

You're supposed to drink the cocoa packets...not nail them to the wall!

I put some more plunder on the packet ships this week, but many more will be sent after next week, as I will be between ports until then. So, if I've already swapped addys with you and you don't receive something this week, look to the packet ships the week next.

Best regards,

Quartermaster James Hunt

The pyrates sacked the manor and defenestrated the governor!

The pyrate seized and defenestrated the annoying cell phone!

The pyrates, full of rum, committed many acts of defenestration!

Ahoy Captain Midnight!

Figures include 12 ideal pirates

What the heck is an "ideal pirate"?

pyracy@graysail.com?

Isn't that a No Quarter Given address?

That is the address I contacted when I was having registration problems, and they took care of them...

Aye! Many thanks, indeed!

Truly a project for the undertakin' soon. And, with the added benefit that, given these proportions, it can be built with dimensional lumber readily available - a plus for those of us with limited shop space!

Ahoy mateys!

Aye! The exchange o' plunder be working jes' fyne: the packet ship brought me jes' today me own first bit!

Thank ye Ms. Diamond for yer precious gifts! They have found a most welcoming home.

Best regards,

Uh...you're asking me to remember something I did while I was drunk?

Do yo have any physical evidence?

Otherwise, the aftermath is something like this:

As Rose tumbled, the captain, passion swelling in his veins, was still enough with his wits to notice that this Black Rose bore thorns: one tucked in her boot, and another in a sheath at the small of her back.

Many thanks to ye all for your condolences and grettings!

Barkeep! Keep the rum flowing! I know that cask isn't empty yet!

Now, let us join in song!

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme

Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine

Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain

For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass

Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass

Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain

For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well

Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel

There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee

Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as we

Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock

I hope she's safe landed without any shock

If ever we should meet again by land or by sea

I will always remember your kindness to me

New to some, but not to others...

Allow me to introduce myself; Quartermaster James Hunt, of the Good Ship Fearless. Brother of the recently lost at sea Captain Jigme.

Barkeep! Tap a cask of your finest rhum! Drinks all around! Here's a toast to my brother and to the health of the company!

May the Author of all that is good keep your name writ in his book.

I haven't seen Castillo anywhere in Oregon, yet. Right now, it seems rhum is going through the same sort of renaissance we saw single malt scotch and tequila survive, albeit with increased prices. My grandfather, in Manila, drinks Tandhuay. I will spare you the price; outrageously low, of course! I hear someone is starting to import it to the states. I wait to see what they will try to get for it here!

My Dear Ms. Diamond,

I am gladdened that ye are well pleased with the package. I instructed my servants, in my absence, to send ye "something shiny" from the coffer.

If any other of ye were contemplating trade with my recently departed brother, on his behalf I will honour his commitment to this enterprise.

As mentioned elsewhere, I am as yet unable to post to your forum under my own name. I will continue to monitor and post from my broither's account.

With highest regard,

Quartermaster James Hunt

of the Good Ship Fearless

I thank ye all kindly for your condolences.

It was actually a point of some contention as to which of us be better in the galley. Unfortunately, my brother and I being some time separated, I cannot compare his skills to mine. I am given to understand that in his travels to the east, in which he took his strange name, he acquired a fancy for fiery and exotic spices. Still we were both taught culinary arts by our sainted mother, being raised in a merchant home that seemed to just as oft serve as public house.

My registration with your forum seems to be somewhat snagged; until it is approved I will continue to post under my brother's account. Also, I will, of course, honour any extant or contemplated trade contracts on my departed brother's behalf.

Your humble servant,

Quartermaster James Hunt

of the Good Ship Fearless

Aye! Here's to tapping the rum cask for your birthday Sir!

Many rounds, and many happy returns to ye!

As, no doubt, the news has already reached some ears here, the sad duty falls upon me to inform you that my brother Captain Jigme perished in a shipwreck off the coast of Hispaniola.

The Good Ship Bodhisattva was attempting to rescue survivors from the wreck of her sister ship Tara. Reports from the land indicate that there were no survivors. The ships were too far out, and the swells far too heavy for any man or boat to make shore.

Once my application to come aboard is approved, I will be posting directly, under my own name.

May the Author of all that is Good bless you and protect you.

Quartermaster James Hunt

Thanks (again) Kass!

Ye all sound like a bunch of merchants!

But, my dear Capt. Sterling, are you not yerself a merchant?

If those dear children were meant as gifts, by all means, please return my coin!

At least they used gold and not silver. Shining it would have gotten embarassing...

Kass, I think they make pads for that...

Anyhoo...while on the topic of hats...

My character is undergoing something of a sudden evolution and I think I should add some trim to the unfinished brim of my tricorn.

I am unsure as to finish it with a plain black trim or with fancy gold braid. Was the gold braid in fashion outside of the military? My character is turning out to be merchant turned pyrate, leaning towards high-end civilian clothing more than military based garb.
