Rumba Rue

I really had to laugh, I have a porno tape called "Swashbuckler". LOL! , and at first that's what I thought you were all talking about! Yup, even the X-rated is bad, really, really bad. Crimson Pirate is a hoot! Ya, badly done, but lots of fun. Rumba Rue **I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges?**

Hey girlfriend! So ye wants ta wear the pants in the family do ye? Well I just made me some pants ta wear (black cotton twill) so I can be more comfortable. I'm gettin' tired o' wearin' tight bodices and skirts especially in the heat! I have quite a few peasant tops that work quite nicely with a nifty sash. Be creative, I know ye can do it! An' it never hurts ta entice the hubby with such creativity either. Rumba Rue **A lady takes off her diginity with her clothes**

As said before, BUYER BEWARE ! I have never bought anything off Ebay and never will. Too many fakes out there! And this particular person proves it! Perhaps someone should say something to Ebay.... Rumba Rue **No blind person here**

No Rumba. Bad, BAD pirate!!! Why thankee, cuz I didn't know there were any good pirates! Rumba Rue **Remember, burn last**

Shiver me timbers, shiver my soul Yo ho heave ho There are men whose hearts are balck as coal Yo ho heave ho And they sailed their ship acrtoss the ocean blue A bloodthirsty catain and a cutthroat crew It's as hard a tale as was ever told Of lust for treasure and the love of gold Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides Yo ho heave oh There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides Yo oh heave ho And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum The devil himslef would have to call them scum Every man aboard would have killed mate For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight A piece of eight A piece of eight Five, six, seven, eight Hulla wacka ulla wacka something not right Many wicked icky things gonna happen tonight Hulla wacka moolah wacka sailor man beware When de money in de ground dere's murder in de air Murder in de air Shiver my timbersw, shiver my bones Yo oh heave ho There are secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones Yo oh heave oh When the mainsail's set and the anchor's weighed There's no turning back from any course that's laid And when greed and villainy sail the sea You can bet your boots there'll be treachery Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails Dead men tell no tales! Ah one o' me favorite movies, jest love it! Rumba Rue **Shiver me timbers**

Lunch ye say? Well if'n I wear me fine frock coat, do I get a cameo appearance in the movie? Rumba Rue **The Cecil B. DeMille wannabe**

A toast to ye: Here's ta you, And here's ta me, And here's ta life on the rollin' sea. And should we ever disagree, The heck with you, And here's ta me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Rumba Rue **Smile and Let Your Spirit Soar**

Hmmmm, must be readin' the same lil' black book too. Rumba Rue **This is either remarkable or madness, those two things conincide**

Hey Christine, you should have seen the forks of lightning! Really cool! We don't get thunder and lightning storms here very often, so I think it's really nifty when we do. I just happen to be up at the time to witness most of it. Rumba Rue ** **

Absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately way too small for me! I'm sure you'll get some good takers! Rumba Rue ** **

<So Bess, you're makin' the move up north to the Montery area? My brother use to live there until marriage ended. He just bought a house in some place called Aptos, near Santa Cruz. But he still works in Salinas.> Sorry, I admit I'm not up on the lore of stuff, (ok whip me with a wet noodle), can't help you out. As for hurricanes, I'm glad I don't live on east coast. You people have to deal with them every year! Here on the west coast we only get earthquakes once in a while. Tell me, as it floods all the time in Florida areas, do you people all have throw-away furniture? Seems like the furniture companies are making a mint there! Rumba Rue **West coast gal to the end!**

I HATE DREDLOCKS! It's a horrible hairstyle, looks like one hasn't washed their hair in ages! Don't do it! Once done, you'll never get the rats from the hold out. Rumba Rue **I'd rather be training cabin boys**

<blush> Ah me fine Skot, thank ye kindly. One is never too late in life unless ye left your undies at the last ladies' home.... Rumba Rue **As good as it gets**

Uh, it figures, the guys are lovin' it, the women are jest rollin' their eyes. Who needs that kind of stuff, when most o' the women here can jest wear a billowy shirt and partial costume, does the same trick. Well in me younger years o' life, say age 16, I could 'ave fit inta somethin' like that....but alas, time has taken it's toll on me figure, and at my age, I've earned it! I just calls it "The handles o' time." Rumba Rue ** **

Well I'm not moving to Floreeda!!! Sorry I wouldn't trade my west coast paradise digs for humid weather that would melt me where I stood and look like a wet dishrag all the time! More power to ye Paisely for takin' the leap like ol' Nigel did. Rumba Rue **I'm too smart ta be caught**

I guess I must be 'special' to have two threads for my birthday. It really was a surprise to me also! Thank you Iron Bess and all the rest of you fine people for such a wonderful rememberance! Rumba Rue **Life is what you make it so make it happy!**

Surprisingly enough, I've found great buys on linen cloths at Wal-Mart! I picked up 6 yards of nuteral a few months back for $1.99 a yard compared to 6.99 at JoAnns! Got a Wal-Mart nearby, check them out for good buys on materials! Rumba Rue **We are the Best dressed Pirates around!**

Anything in cotton is good. Don't use bright colors. Nuterals are best. For skirts, try a not too heavy cotton duct (it will hold up quite nicely over the years) if doing gored skirt type. If not and just gathering material at waist, use something lighter weight. Did you leave your costume in your hotel room? If so, call the hotel and ask. There should be a lost and found and if there, they can probably mail it back to you. If you left it at the con itself, it's gone. I'll send you a PM. Rumba Rue **I'd rather be in a boat with a drink on the rocks, then on the rocks with a boat in the drink**

I don't know about back east but here on the west coast if you go into just about any PetCo/aquarium stores you can find those skelton band figures and more that are used for aquariums fairly cheap! Rumba Rue **Here fishy, fishy, fishy, ...hop into my fryin' pan**

Well I thought 'Hey you, pour one', t'was good enough. Geesh we gots so many pourin' ale, does it matter? Just so long as me mug is filled I don't be really carin'. Rumba Rue **I use ta have a handle on life, now all I gots is the mug**

Thanks for your write up. It's totally amazing how many great costumes show up for that convention and never at a regular sci-fi con. Great pictures, though some didn't have an explanation as to who they were. Anyway, glad to hear you had a busy, but fun time. Rumba Rue **To Infinity and Beyond!**

Ah, it would be nice, but unless I'm high on Dramamine, I will be fillin' the boat with me insides.... An' to everyone else who has been so kind to remember me, I thank ye from the soul of me heart. (Is that a waitin' list I see o' men?) Rumba Rue **You there, go hoist something**

I'd love ta meet ye all, but I won't be at Ojai, I'll be in Canada. Perhaps next time! To everyone who has been so kind to remember me, I hoist a tankard to ye fine hearts! Rumba Rue **To Infinity and Beyond!**

<blush> (Good Gawd, I've got a fan club! ) Thank you for your rather charming and sauve, smooth, appealing, delicious, words of wonderous, magical, enveloping, and risin' to the occasion ....... I'm glad I can make people laugh, it makes me feel good too. My motto that I live by: Those who can laugh at themselves shall never cease to be amused. Rumba Rue Woman Entitled to Nights of Complete Happiness

Aye ye all be most welcome for kind thoughts and wishes. I spent the day o'er at my compion's sister's house meetin' more o' the extended family (Geesh ye'd think I t'was gonna marry the guy!) A fine brunch of food. But mostly recoverin' from a long day and night o' partyin' at the PRP Anniversary party yesterday. Unfortunately since I was steerin' the ship, I couldn't drink.....much. Ah but I be makin' up for it NOW! Bring on the dancin' men, I want a SHOW!!!!!! Rumba Rue **Smile and Let Your Spirit Soar**
