  1. Well I'm kinda partial to two events. The Ojai pirate fest in Sept. is always good. But the Escondido Ren-faire either in the spring or fall is also very good and the setting is beautiful. Though currently the only pirate group at Escondido is Stranglehold, that's fine, they are a terrific preforming group.
  2. I don't need to have others who already think I'm full o' shyte be known as some kind of reject. I'd much rather have a strong, good name that represents what we be doin' , as opposed to thinkin' we are some kind o' dirt rejects.
  3. Getting drunk would be my guess. Anything for a party.
  4. One of the reasons I don't buy anything from Ebay anymore is because of the added $14.95 cost added in for their cut. That's just too expensive for me if I'm buying something especially if it's less than that. When you're a poor person like me, every dollar is precious. I liked the bracelets cuz I haven't seen those here at events that I've been too. Besides, the price was right. In fact I thought all the prices at Pirates Cave were decent for the items offered.
  5. Arrrggggghhhhh! I ordered the bracelet I wanted. However, even though with shipping it came to around $7.00, I discovered on my bank account, that an added couple o' bucks for an overseas transactionmaking it a little o'er $9.00 kinda p-o'ed me.
  6. The Real Pirates of the Caribbean. Airs on Friday, December 16 at 4:00am ET There may not have been ghost ships laden with cursed sailors, but the Caribbean was indeed once full of Pirates. In this exciting hour we bring you four stories of real pirates that once wreaked havoc on the Caribbean and beyond. We'll introduce Captain Kidd who plundered his way to the end of a noose and Black Beard, quite possibly the most famous pirate of all time. We'll look at Anne Bonny and Mary Read, two female pirates who became friends and shipmates, and we'll also highlight Sir Henry Morgan, one of the few pirates actually to have been knighted. Go go underwater to discover the remains of Black Beard's ship and see how pirates have been depicted in TV and film, including Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. We'll meet modern-day treasure hunters and maybe even someone who has had a run in with pirates today. TVPG **I believe this is the one that Jamaica Rose is in.
  7. Well maybe I'll win the lottery by then....
  8. Why? Because I'm so damn honest in my real life it's heartbreaking.
  9. First I want to say I like your website. Saw things there I haven't seen here in the USA. I really like the celtic bracelets, and dang I'd love to purchase one. Anyways, welcome from across the wide waters of the Earth!
  10. I don't need to take a test like that. I already know myself. Runs with sissors.
  11. I held off responding to this because since I haven't had anyone I know killed by another, it was hard for me to say one way or another. Originally I would have said I'm against killing another for another, but sometimes you have to look at what's involved. In the case of Tookie Williams, he never recanted and never told police even if he didn't, who did. Thereby denying himself any kind of salvation. Anyone who kills another, made a choice by themselves. They didn't have to do it, but they chose to. Therefore they deserve any punishment given to them.
  12. I don't hate the Holidays, I enjoy them, but I agree, I was rather disgusted when I saw Christmas stuff before Halloween! I send out Holiday cards because it's a way for me to say 'hi' in a more personal way. I'm not usually one for computer generated cards sent by emails. As for buying gifts for people, I've become more orientated with knowing what the people I do buy for want or like. I no longer buy separate gifts for couples, now they get 1 gift that will suit the both of them. A lot of people have come to expect t-shirts from me with funny sayings. Gawd I love the catalogs I get, my favorites are Wireless, Pyramid Collections, Gael Song, What on Earth. I also buy during the year when I might have a little extra cash and there might be a sale on something not too expensive. I also do not buy expensive things or stuff that just sits on a shelf and looks pretty. It's always something that can be used. I also have the satisfaction that I make a lot of things, so I can always whip something up or check through what I have before spending money. If all else fails, a gift card to a store is the best bet. For many years, my family has given me gift certificates to grocery stores. It's wonderful! Otherwise they just write me a small check to spend as I wish. This year however, I did spend a fair amount of money on my companion, I got him two books from our dear King's Pyrate here, that he gracefully signed. I found a fantastic leather embossed ship on an oval box made in Russia. He's also getting one other thing, the real expensive thing that at this time I am not saying what. But thank goodness I got a nice Hannukah check from my dad to cover what I spent. Whew! Sometimes I just wish this holiday was like in August.....
  13. That's the most amazing guitar I have ever seen! Awesome!
  14. If any of you want to see some incredible pictures of the new POTC 2 coming out next summer, take a look at these! I got permission from the Yahoo groups POTC Costuming to use these. I thank them greatly!
  15. I'd like to be able to walk around longer, pain free.
  16. Well since it's suppose to be a children's base of stuff, how about, Pyrates Play (or Playpen-but that kind of sounds like Romper Room)
