Capt Grey

Master Sansweet didn't say squat at the panel. Much to everyone's disappointment.

All I know is it won't be over Memorial Day weekend.

And your fans on the RL boards will continue to send customers your way. :)

(But I thought pirates liked drama and treachery? )

Happy, belated, Natal Day lassie!

I see Captain Syn! Wish I had gotten tickets this year, but alas the pocket book is being drained by the lawyers.

Aye, Stranglehold represents each year. Unfortunately they are on the opposite wall of all the Star Wars tables where I was at all week.

Although me old bones be getting too tired to run that table every year; at 125,000 attendees the con is beginning to suffer from its own popularity.

Hmmmm, Star Wars and Pyrates.

You're my kinda guy, matey! I've seen your work on the Rebel Legion board.

I be eyeballin' that gray hat as well. Goes wit' me frock coat.

I have the buttons from Mary Diamond if you need them, McDrago. I believe you were going to take half of them.

Let me know if you're still interested. :)

*Blast and damnation! When are we actually going to get a "smile" smiley?! *

:::Looks at all those out West::: damn ye! Sendin' all that weather towards us. Shame on ye!

~Lady B

That's cuz we don' know what t'do wit' all this white stuff; ye scurvy dogs in t'east has more experience.

I be hankerin' after t'gray ones but me waist be 39" (probably more after t'holidays ) and me calves be 18".

Mayhap this be incentive fer me t'get me weight down.

A couple years back, I got some cocoa-puffs and put em around the tree and told the kids it was reighndeer poo. Then I grabbed a few and ate 'em! They still think it was poo!

We used chocolate-covered raisins for our "reindeer poop" with our kids.

Happy KwanzChrismaKa!

It says central California for his location, now I'm wondering where he is that it snows?

People forget that California has mountains. The tallest mountain in the contiguous US (lower 48) is in Central California (Mount Whitney, 14.505 feet), and the inactive volcanoes in Northern California (Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen) are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

So yes, California DOES get snow.

Bad link updated to one that works.

One of my Star Wars friends has an auction up on e-Bay for a 4-piece buckle set. Here's the description:

It was about this time last year, son #2 found my Imperial Guard helmet, and suddenly wanted to play dress-ups. So we came up with this impromptu costume.

Let me know when he turns 18, we'll get him signed up for the 501st Stormtrooper Legion.

Great costumes, everyone. I agree that the royal baby is the hands-down winner. Although Rumba's peacock dress is outstanding.

Here's the "live" link:

E-Bay Buttons

GAH! If it wasn't the holiday season I would be all over the shirt-weight linen.

I have some obscure movies I really love:

It Happened One Night - my father's favorite, and mine; a classic

The Quiet Man - my favorite John Wayne movie

The Blues Brothers - not that obscure, but the best car chase scene EVER

The Rocketeer - very underrated movie that should have done better

The Man From Snowy River - absolutely gorgeous to watch

Zathura - what Jamanji should have been

And my guilty pleasure, Spaced Invaders - so stupid it's funny

Continued due to picture limitations:

Endor Commando

Imperial Officer (my Star Wars/Star Trek cross-over costume )

Professor McGonigal and Harry Potter

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of me in my Star Fleet Admiral costume. :angry:

Oh geez! Where to start.

Jedi General from the first Clone Wars, the Animated Series (not the current 3-D one)

Rebel Officer

Rebel Pilot

Rebel Fleet Trooper

Congrats, lassie! That be a mighty fine accomplishment in this day and age. :)

And a toast t'yer birthday as well, Stynky.

I'm well into me cups with all these *hic* berthday toasts.

A toast t'yer birthday, mate.

A toast t'yer birthday, lass.

::Sends off a multi-cannon salute:::

OOOOOOH! AAAAAHHHHHH! Pretty cannon blasts!

Hubby is taking me out for champagne brunch on Sunday. It's a present worth waiting for.

Thank'ee fer yer well wishes, mates. :)

I can vouch for the quality of Capt Synn's work. He "moonlights" as a supplier of leather pieces to the Star Wars costuming community. Right now he's in demand for Rebel Fleet Trooper holsters.

Nice to see you here, matey.

Sold to callenish gunner. :)
