It's a mite hard for me to say what period I be projectin'.
I have ta say, "fantasy" period fits it best, though I have a lot O' stuff in the 17th-18th Century catagory.
As me First and Best mate says, "there be a fine line between History and Entertainment ...that we have all but erased!"
I had ta take a peek in me bedroom, to figure out just what I have in me collection...(can't be a callin' it a kit no more, on account of thar bein' no work for us pirates for a while now...hope that's a changin'!)
Me bedroom(shared with me First Mate) has a theme...and is chock full o' more collectable pirate crap than a theme park souveiner shoppe.
So, I got me:
abouts 10 shirts, 8 bodices, 2 long coats with gold buttons, 1 long coat in black, 6 hats, with varient plumage, 5 skirts, 4 pairs O' trousers, 3 pair O' black boots(but me bucket boots disintergrated from wear)
for weapons I gots : 2 cat o' nines, 4 1/2 swords, 16 daggers, 1 belayin' pin...and some sort O' antique wooden hammer like thing from a 19th century wooden vessel.
Then thars 4 large chests, numerous uncountable smaller boxes, an oak cask, bunches O' flagons, too many pewter mugs andcups , 2 compasses, 2 brass spyglasses, a sextant, an astrolabe, 4 large iron locks and keys,iron shackles, way too many jolly rogers, writing kit with 2 feather quills and inks, 7 lanterns(includin' two actual antique ship lanterns)2 map and chart cases, and I be sure...many more things I be forgettin' ta add.
'course I not be fool enough to carry ALL this with me, on any given raid...but it be nice to have a choice...and a large collection from which ta pillage from!
I gots me enough ta outfit an entire crew...now alls I need is a ship!

But I almost got up and walked out of the theatre when Depp said "Savvy" in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico".
Ah...you too eh?
When Jonny said savvy in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, I admit I burst out laughing at the sheer silliness of it!
It's become something of a joke around my house to end every query, question, or random statement with "Savvy?"
BTW Yes...I am a 7th Sea Freak...ya might have spotted me hangin'around Revanants!

On Friday, I went out wearin' me best tricorner'd hat, and me pirate coat, and wandered down to me lake, to find someone...anyone.... to talk to!
But there weren't no one around...so I went back home and sent incomprehensible e-mails to all in me address book!
Figure's If a couldn't be a- talkin' like a pirate in person, I'd be doin' it on me computer.
Sorta sad...really.
