GoF

I'm stuck.

Well mates, many of you have visited the link from my Texican Privateers site to the knife company I do work for Beckwiths Blades. They be carring a new line from Hanwei by Paul Chen. Paul's stuff is combat quality. It tis the real deal and his prices be not high for the extreme quality. So check out Hanwei at Beckwiths Blades. The Deacon has never steered you wrong yet.

As best as I can remember. The first I heard of mandatory tip breakage was around 1515 and was left to the Captains descression. It was also an issue of accidental deep cuts from heaving seas and the like of rough weather. Where a mate or able was not as prone from years of being on board a press or lubber didn't have that experience and coordination.

Just curious to know if there are any other pirates in the great lone star state. The only events I know of that might attract such scurvy dogs would be the Scarborough Fair (alas, already past) or the big Texas Rennesance Festival (not untill October). Anyone know if there any other pirate events in these parts?I know we have a local SCA, but I don't know if there are any pirates in the group...

Aye lass, there do indeed be Pirates in the Lone Star State. We be the Texican Privateers. Texican Privateers Outside of Scarbi & TRF there is also Cavalier Days but no true Pirate Fests. We throw a Buccaneer Beach Bash every year. As well as a Buccaneer Backyard BBQ. William thanks for pointing her our way. Ifinya email me I will put you on our list and let you know whenever we get together. lloyd@livelydjs.com

Those of you with parrots, parakeets, canaries etc. I need your birds' molted feathers. Colorful feathers are the best. I even use the smallest ones that have color.

My stock of feathers is extremely low. I will make you a free hat pin in trade.

Please email me.

Thanks,

Wonderful pictures mate. aye

Thank you kindly boy'o.

Thanks all. It was a grand time indeed.

Today I bought a felt hat blank. Thought I'd make it into a tricorn. Now I realize I don't know how. I've heard of 'steaming' and 'ironing' but I'm not sure how that applies to forming the brim into a tricorn shape. Can anyone tell me the basic process? TIA!

Boil water in a teapot or pot with a lid. Once you have a good amount of stem. Shape hat in the form you want it. Place in the steam until moist and pliable but not soaked. Let dry. Repeat as needed.

Very nice indeed. Maybe oneday she be made for our shores.

Well Bury the kegs and hoist anchor. It be done.

I'll have to wait and see. I may have a gig that weekend in San Antonio. But bring yoy walkin' boots as the fair site be 65 acres not counting the parking lot.

Well, post up when ye gets yer minds made. I'm not working TFR this year (and won't be till the current entertainment director is beathing water). Many me mates work it thow. Stop by the information booth at the front gate and pays yer respects to Miss Mable and her crew there. Can't miss her. She's the big redhead. Then the executioner by the May Pole be Master Barthalmew Smyth. Just call him Derly.

Well Mate. At leaste yer OK and will have a tale to tell. Glad ye be coming along so well.

I've been hunting on the net for two things that I'm wanting to get for my pirate attire, and have been unsucessful in finding these.

First, I had a nice looking cap-fire blunderbuss that I carried when I was at faire. Alas, it got lost and never recovered at Texas Renaissance Faire last year. I've been as of yet unable to find one that I could buy ahead of time to have for Texas Rennaissance Faire this year. So, I'm posting here to ask for any advice on if anyone knows of any online vendors that may sell decent looking cap-fire pistols or inexpensive non-functional replicas.

The second thing I've been looking for deals with a post I tacked onto in the Rabble Rousing area about Tattoos. I'm in searching for decent looking temporary tattoos of a skull and crossbones, in particular ones that a pirate would have [if it were real].

Thanks in advance for any information I can get!

Morick Towain

Captain of the Pirate Brethren of Texas

Hey Morick. I talked with one of me mates, Miss Mable who be in charge of information and the lost and found at TRF. She said it wasn't turned in. Which is odd. Most things lost do come back. We've seen walletts with hundreds of dollars and credit cards still in them. Medications, etc. Sorry about that.

here is a good source for Cheap Stuff. or check out my links page.

Nothing here that will threaten my well being around this place and it may be of interest to some of you swabs.

We are starting to move in the production company and the FGW building is filled to the gunnels with art work models and plans for Pirates 2.

A few of the cast have been asked to be ready for February shoot dates so.... looks like the tide is coming back in mates.

Yo Ho Ho

Woo Hoo. Don't forget us Unemployed actor stunt type Pirates here in Houston. I can be SAG by cuttin' a check.

I've found that I can make lingerie out of string, tape and soup cans and make any man happy. They don't even care.

That be true. Most men just appreciate the effort. Or is that interest?

Well, summer's in full swing,so between pirate activities, I'm finishing up the new paint and varnish on my classic yacht, S/V ORCA.....an LF Herreshoff design, 34' on deck, 38' overall, Alaskan Cedar on oversized oak scantlings.....Interior in Cedar, Oak, Teak, and a sprinkling of Mahogany..Marble counters (real, not 'cultured'), hot and cold pressure dockside water, fridge, microwave.....Starting at 44K....that be a start on her credentials, more to follow

Ok, I'll take 'er. How's a dollar a week?... ok, ok, two dollars and that's me final offer. (harumph) Ok, so I'm broke at the moment, but by damn she be a fine lass.
