  3. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

    If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

    If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

    If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

    If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

    She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

    So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!

  4. Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving "We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but sail we must and not drift nor lie at anchor."

  5. The Associated Press

    BEAUFORT, N.C. -- An anchor from a shipwreck thought to be Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, was so unstable that divers in North Carolina retrieved it Wednesday rather than waiting until next year.

    Divers raised the 4.5-foot, 160-pound grapnel, or anchor, from the wreck in the Atlantic Ocean near Beaufort on Wednesday and will display it Thursday at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. The anchor originally had four prongs, but now has 1 1/2.

    Two divers put straps on the anchor, then small lift bags that they filled with air, said Mark Wilde-Ramsing, the director of the Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck project. When the grapnel reached the surface, a crane brought it on the boat.

    "It went great," he said. "It went as smooth as it could be."

    The grapnel probably was an anchor for a smaller boat that would have been used to transport items between ships or from land to ship, Wilde-Ramsing said.

    Archaeologists and conservators with the state Department of Cultural Resources say the grapnel was at risk of washing away after nearly 300 years in the sea and might not weather possible storms until next year, when a full-scale expedition is planned.

    The rest of the shipwreck looks very stable, Wilde-Ramsing said.

    Queen Anne's Revenge was a French slave ship that measured about 100 feet long with three masts and a crew of 150 to 200. Blackbeard captured the ship, then known as La Concorde, in 1717 and renamed it before it ran aground off Atlantic Beach a year later. The shipwreck, discovered in late 1996, is within sight of Fort Macon State Park.

  6. may i ask where did you get the rounded stock for the sides?

    I bought the bed from a antique mall mate I didn't make it someone in the 1700s did all I had to do was put it toget and add the rope.

  8. Ahoy me lads and lasses,

    It's been too long since my weary eyes have looked upon your countenance. We've entered into the months of hard sailing. Wind, rain and mighty waves are ahead, we must brace up and pull together.

    October 17 is the event at Georgetown. We had a grand time last year and made many friends. I'd have to say that last year we were treated better at Georgetown than any other event. It would be great if we could all gather there, we might not get the chance during the winter. The Crew of the Charles Towne Few will bee there with the Charlston mismosquito flet. Drop by and host a tankard with us if yea bees in Georgetoen Saturday Octber 17,2009 http://www.woodenboatshow.com/

    Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

    Drink and the devil had done for the rest

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike

    The bosun brained with a marlinspike

    And cookey's throat was marked belike

    It had been gripped by fingers ten;

    And there they lay, all good dead men

    Like break o'day in a boozing ken

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    Fifteen men of the whole ship's list

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    The skipper lay with his nob in gore

    Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore

    And the scullion he was stabbed times four

    And there they lay, and the soggy skies

    Dripped down in up-staring eyes

    In murk sunset and foul sunrise

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Ten of the crew had the murder mark!

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead

    Or a yawing hole in a battered head

    And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red

    And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes

    Looking up at paradise

    All souls bound just contrawise

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    Fifteen men of 'em good and true'

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    There was chest on chest of Spanish gold

    With a ton of plate in the middle hold

    And the cabins riot of stuff untold,

    And they lay there that took the plum

    With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb

    While we shared all by the rule of thumb,

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    More was seen through a sternlight screen

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

    Chartings undoubt where a woman had been

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot

    With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot

    And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot

    Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid

    That dared the knife and took the blade

    By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

    Drink and the devil had done for the rest

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight

    With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight

    And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,

    With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well

    And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell

    Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,

    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
