Rumba Rue

I live in north county San Diego, Escondido (means Hidden Valley). Home o' the Wild Animal Park ('bout 10 minutes from me), the San Diego Zoo, the Star of India, and current resting place of the HMS Suprise/Rose, all 'bout 45 minutes from me. Wonderful beaches ('bout 45 minutes away), expensive homes, expensive gas, the widest range o' wild life I've ever did see ~ I've turned inta a great bird watcher. Fishin' just a few minutes from me home, hikin', geesh, I think I gots it all here, inculdin' great weather 90% o' the time. Expensive homes, expensive gas, oh I did mention that, well it's worth mentionin' again... uh ye need a good job ta live here! Rumba Rue **They were all fine sailin' days, but unfortuntely they were only ideal for sailin' in the wrong direction.**

I fear with all this 'blowin' that the men might get a bit over anxious and be linin' up..... Rumba Rue **A man's got to do what man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't**

Really??...Izzat a fact??.. I guess I'm not gonna be there again! Oh, well, more targets here on the Bay last year!..... :angry: Ah me dear Royalist, do not worry, yer ship and crew be welcome! Unfortunately due to another pirate group that caused major problems for the Ocean Institue one year, the main guy, Mr. Dan Stetson who runs the thing, put his foot down and only wants PRP there. So don't be worryin' yer butt off, ye be welcome, and welcome inta our encampment (durin' the day in costume) , an' wellcome ta join in our after hours fun. We puts on a grand pot-luck dinner fer all~ we've had so much food, we've even invited the Security Guards ta join us! Hey we know how ta get good treatment! We party and sing 'round the campfire, an' just have a fine ol' time! Rumba Rue **Sailin' on the big blue wet thing**

>Last week in Orlando, Eisner shared his latest vision: boost Mickey Mouse's popularity with new cartoons, including a "Mickey and Friends" TV series; churn out two "Pirates of the Caribbean'' sequels, action toys, and a TV series.< I have read and re-read this portion of the article a lot. I find it a bit confusing. I'm not sure if it means there will be an animated series for POTC or the fact that there are two more regular movies of POTC due to come out in the future. I am not keen on the idea of an animated POTC, as I think it would be of somewhat stupid to silly orgins. However, if it means there will be 2 more movie sequels to POTC, then bring it on! As for toys ~ I WANT THEM ALL! Rumba Rue **Were those mouse ears on Rigetti's eyeball?**

Hot glue/glue guns, my best friend! LOL! Good work on the hat! Looks great! Rumba Rue **In the beginning there was nothing, then it exploded**

Hmmmm, an' here I t'was trainin' me parrot ta say, "Polly want a corspe?** Rumba Rue ** **

Well if'n ye be all comin' ye can join us! The Port Royal Privateers will be there with full encampment. We are the ONLY pirate group allowed there (it's our biggest event of the year) and the Ocean Instutite loves us! For more information, go to: http://www.tallshipsfestival.com/ If'n ye want ta sail on one o' the many tall ships, reserve yer tickets ASAP! They sell out every year! As long as ye be in costume, ye be welcome into our encampment to join the festivities and after hours fun. Anything else ye might want to know, just give a holler! Rumba Rue **Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!**

<sneakin' in an' a belated wish> HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now everybody line up so's we can toast to her with a spot o' soda! Rumba Rue **Another day, another dubloon**

What's a boat? LOL! I don't sail no more, no more I don't sail no more. Been to sea and green as tea, I don't sail no more. Swamped the decks with stomach retch, I don't sail no more, no more, I don't sail no more. I stay on land and play the with the fans, I don't sail no more. Tis well for me, not to be at sea I don't sail no more. For a land pirate I shall be. I don't sail no more, no more, I don't sail no more! Rumba Rue **Tis amazin' what I can think up on the spot!**

Well I put in my real name and came up with: Skylarking Rose Put in my user name and came up with: Captain Eliza Hmmmm, not sure 'bout either one o' them. Rumba Rue **Bring me that Horizon1**

Arrrgggghhhhh, the only restraint I need is a good size bottle of rum. Rumba Rue ** **

Thanks Paisley! I usually steal them too, but been having major problems trying to save them! Seems the computer doesn't want to! Rumba Rue ** **

Aye now that be interestin' news. I use ta watch 'Fraggle Rock' many years ago when in 'altered states' an' thought it was dang funny. Aye me friend Kermit will be wearin' mouse ears! (Now if'n only Eisner could be given the Black Spot!) Rumba Rue **No greater loss of mind, than mine**

Gorgeous ship, too bad I get seasick.... Rumba Rue **The yellow brick road ain't what it use to be**

I think the closest you can come is a jerkin that's altered a bit. Rumba Rue ** **

Take heed of what Roslinda says, for she be right. Be careful, don't be fooled by a COSTUME! I've watched many a female drool over one particular guy who runs a certian group here in Calif. that is the worst person to ever be around, but his costumes are great. In fact this twit has tried many a time to get my attention and I just ignore him. His reputation for bedding the females preceeds him, an' it don't interest me! Thank goodness I be smarter than that! Rumba Rue **Dreaming is one thing, reality another**

Try Walmart, Kmart, Target for a steamer trunk that reasonably priced. If you are looking for a more period type, check antique stores - but I warn you they will be at least 3 to 5 hundred dollars depending on condition. Also, there are places like Home Depot, Dixie Lumber, and others,that sell kids wooden toy boxes (kits) you can put together, stain and put whatever hardware you want on it (big black gate componets were used on the toy box my friend built and drags to events, it looks really good, strong, people can sit on it. He even put a locking mechanism on the lid so it will stay up when getting stuff out, he also put wheels on it so it could be rolled along easily). Rumba Rue **Creativity is my game**

Tale a trip to your local library and look for books on 'Textiles'. Unfortunately I can't answer your question about the material you have. But I'm sure someone here can. Rumba Rue **Mind is lost in a sand storm**

Well I for one usually only come here in the mornings as I have 'real' life off boards. Once in a while if I'm on the computer in the afternoons or evenings I pop in, but it's rare. Rumba Rue **Reality is what happens when the dream suanters away**

Hey Paisley, I love your smilies, where did you get them? Hey Stynky, WE WANT MORE SMILEY'S!!!! Rumba Rue **What's a smile without a face?**

Bodices - it's what keeps the men coming to faires. Rumba Rue **Another smooth escape designed as a dramtic exit**

Ah my good woman, we shall meet up! Sent you a pm so check your messages. Rumba Rue **Life is what you make it, so make it happy!** :)

Sorry mates, but there's already a group called "Marooned", they are out of Las Vegas. Very fun, good singing group. My suggestion, is takin' ol' Ben's name and just a tad of a change and come up with, "The Connecticut Bends". Rumba Rue **Somewhere over the rainbow lies my pot of gold**

I really have to laugh at the period pants of the time. Nothin' like walkin' around lookin' like ye got a diaper full! Rumba Rue ** **

Unfortunatly, the pirate's weekend will be after I'm there! Well ne're mind, there be a group o' 4 o' us from PRP and California goin' and we be meetin' up with a fellow PRP'r who lives in Phoenix and his friends at the faire ta form a whole big group. I've been to the Arizony faire before- I absolutely love DED BOB! I'll be there (I be drivin' all o' us) on March 12, and visitin' the faire on the 13th if'n it be rainin' (it does rain occassionally in the desert), we'll try for the 14th. Headin' back ta California on the 15th. So if'n any o' ye in Arizona want ta get together for one heck of a party let me know in a private email. We be stayin' at the Holiday Inn on Apace Blvd in Tempe. Tentative plans are fer a big party at my friend Linda's house in Tempe after the faire. (Poor woman hasn't got a clue what will be invadin' her house- lol!) RUMba Rue **Rum, the drink o' a good pirate!**
