Capt Grey

Ye be a fine pyrate, Deacon. Thank'ee fer sharin' yer swag. If I uses it fer me own invitations, I'll sends ye a copy.

I missed "Master and Commander" in the theaters but I picked up the DVD yesterday and watched it. Wonderful film! This is only the second movie I've ever bought the video without seeing it first.

It was also nice to see "Pippin" in there as well (as the helmsman).

Arrrr, that be a right nice invitation there!

Me first mate wants t'do a pirate party this summer (and we do live in California). I be thankin' ye fer the ideas.

Aye. Me youngest cabin boy has it and enjoys the Pirate Piggys.

Aye, laddie. I were partly joshin' with ye. I be a major player in several SW clubs and I gots t'defend me honor.

If ye wants t'whine about Star Wars then go to the FanForce site. Me own little group gots plenty o' whinin' pups on our board.

**draws sword and glares around the room**

The first one who mentions "franchise" in the same breath as Star Wars, I'll have yer guts fer garters.

Like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars be a multi-chapter story. The entire story were born in the late '60s, early '70s. Aye, they be makin' lots o'money fer it - but they also be their own production company which takes a lot o' money t'be. Aye there be plenty o'merchandising tie-ins, as there always were since 1977.

And don't be callin' Star Wars fans "whiney" when ye be whinin' yerselves on this here board.

**slams sword back into scabbard** And that be my 2-dubloons worth!

Ye still be a young'un, lad. But I doffs me hat and quaffs me run in a toast t'yer birthday. May there be many, many more.

(And thank'ee Red Maria fer the words t'the Viking Birthday song; been tryin' t'get them fer a while. )

I used to have a rather thick neck (of course, post surgery, my neck is two sizes smaller) and that could be why it felt odd.  Unbuttoned, it felt okay.

Pardon me for asking, but what kind of surgery takes 2 inches off your neck? I have a husband with a thick skull. Can they do this kind of surgery on his head?

I find a 2x4 very handy, Pearl.

Fantastic, lassie!

I needs t'get me lathe hooked up and make some wands. Of course that will be AFTER I gets me Jedi orders done...

Thank'ee kindly. I be enjoyin' Easter - huntin' eggs be like huntin' treasure!

Arrr, lassie. I knew it be you when I read the "viking funeral" sub-title.

Glad yer back in cyber-waters with the rest of us scurvey bilgerats.

Well done, Penny! Huzzah!

But fer dressin as a man, me friend does Obi-Wan Kenobi - complete with beard which takes over two hours to apply (and people don't know he's a she). And her Indiana Jones takes 4 hours to apply the stubble.

Birthday! I love Birthdays! Drinks all around!

I sent ye a PM, Wolfy Wench. I think I've taken this thread too much off the topic.

My apologies, blackbeards_ghost.

Very nice, Pirita.

They had a big clearance sale about a month ago - could be they sold most o'what they had.

Well if ye be lookin' fer me, stop by the San Diego Star Wars Society booth and ask fer Grey Jedi.

That's how I met RumbaRue in person - at a convention where I be workin' the recruitin' fer the club!

That there be a birthday party them kid's will be rememberin' fer years t'come!

Good on ye and yer mates, Quill.

(This be the reason I dress up in Star Wars garb and visits the kids at Children's Hospital - to see the looks on their faces.)

Be ye goin' t'Comic-Con, blackbeards_ghost? Will there be preview copies there?

I tries t'make it t'all the booths, but it be gettin' harder and harder as the dang convention gets bigger and bigger - plus my time workin' at me own booth.

I find that upholstery fabric makes wonderful waistcoats and frock coats (and Hogwarts teacher robes).

Aye, Chadwicks be a fine place fer costume boots.

Bought all me Jedi boots from them (2 brown pair and one black; Capt Grey has too many Jedi outfits ).

If it be THAT size it be blowed up enough!

Ye can make duplicates t'sell t'pirate wenches fer them long, lonely times at sea....

And don't forget that Free Comic Book Day is the first Saturday in May.

T'would be nice if there be a pirate comic in t'lot.

Arrrrr, a wee bairn t'join the crew! A toast t'yer healthy child and wife, matey.

I know me own cabin boy likes Captain Feathersword o'the Wiggles. There be many fine pieces o'treasure fer wee pirates there. Check e-Bay or the Wiggles own web site.

Be sure t'take many pictures fer us what can't be there in person.

A toast t'yer wake - it be the only way t'celebrate death!
