Rumba Rue

I've sailed on the Californian several times during the Tall Ships Festival in Dana Point, CA. Nice ship, nice crew. Hmmmm, 6 & 7th? Guess they won't be at the festival this year, cuz that's the Tall Ship Festival dates for here. Oh well, there's plenty more to plunder. RumbaRue ** **

Well, since I can't figure out how to get to the HOME PAGE FRONT, as there seems to be no link here.... Anyway, Louie Lambie is a longtime member of PRP, we gals in the group call him "Pocket Stud", cuz he's shorter than me (I'm 5'3") and he's a real nice guy, though I question some of the gals he has dated, including the current one.... Since I can't see the home page, I don't know who else is there. Hey Jamaica, where's a link to the HOME PAGE FRONT? RumbaRue **I had a mind once....**

I've worn both belt and sash around my waist. Makes for more colorful pirate, though it of couse isn't quite historically correct (was I ever a correct pirate? Naw) However, many pirates did have some sort of sash over their heads, around their necks (hence the coming of the wild west) for instant quick ties, sweat and gags for prisioners. RumbaRue **In the beginning there was nothing, then it exploded**

Well (hanging head in shame), I got five wrong. Guess I was too busy drooling over Johnny Depp to notice anything else. RumbaRue ** I had a mine once, still looking for it**

Well as much as you all like pain, not me! Sure I'd love to get a very small one (a pentacle with celtic knotwork over my left breast), but I cannot endure the pain, much less the sight of a needle and blood. I give enough of my bloodletting when I make me costumes! Also, once you get a tattoo, you are unable to give blood at the blood banks, and in my case, my partner who does do that sort of thing, wouldn't be able to donate either, as being with me ....well that's what the law is here in Calif. But hey, I got one of those fake tattoos with the skull and swords from POTC, works for me! RumbaRue **Better safe than sorry** :)

Being from Calif. , the Wedge is located in Huntington Beach, Orange County. Nowhere near San Diego. Hmmmmm, me thinks kids aren't being real good to their parents. RumbaRue **I had it, I swear I had it, ok maybe I didn't...**

Whoooooeeeeeeeee, laughing my ass off! RumbaRue **Sweet, loveable, deadly, pick one**

Ah, my ever so wishful thinking of living in Jamaica.... that 'crop' .....it's legal there ya know.... RumbaRue **Me? I'm sweet and innocent**

Well actually yes! But not till after I flick me buggers at ye. Bahwwaahhhaaaaa! RumbaRue **I intend to live forever, so far so good** :)

Crickey! That's the most disgusting thing! Well in the play of fairness, perhaps all we pirates should pick our noses and pile all the buggers together and sell it with a certificate of authinticity! Hmmmm, after a good faire they are nice and black.... RumbaRue **Forget the yo ho ho, just gimme the rum!**

PRP use to have a big bag we carried every where with loaner gear. Got to the point is was too much to drag around, and too big to store in our trailer for the group. Not sure if or what happened to all of it. Haven't seen anything in quite some time. But, trust me, if you are on a real budget like me and many others, thrift stores, garage/yard sales are the way to go. RumbaRue **I had a mind once, I'm still looking for it**

I know these aren't pirate related, but there might be some ladies out there who might be interested. The prices are reasonable considering you'd be paying twice the amount from other costumers. If you are seriously interested, please send me an email. Thank you, Shari Land aka RumbaRue For Sale: Ladies nobility outfit. Black cotton velvet, size 16-18. Includes bum roll and partlet.

As Queen of the Thrift Store and Garage/Yard Sale Finder, I urge you to check out all that I have mentioned. I've found lots and lots of goodies from shirts to mugs, from belts to trunks! I don't think anyone in PRP will doubt me! (My latest find were two perfect wooden barstools to use for our encampment for $20.00) I have people give me lists of things incase I find something good. :) Even found a beautiful black silk blouse, with just the right sleeves and front, perfect for pirate wear, for $2.00! Belts can be altered, coats can be changed, pants can be cut off, get creative, and use your imagination! RumbaRue **Lead me not to temptation, I can find it myself**

Hmmmmm, makes me think there's blond joke in there somewhere.... RumbaRue **Ok, so I'm blond, but I ain't blind!**

I saw that ship you're talking about at the Michaels here in Escondido. Very cute, almost bought it, but after hearing the song "A Pirate's Life For Me", and hearty but twangy 'yo ho ho and a bottle of rum' all over the store for hours on end, it decidedly would drive me bonkers and run for the raspberry vodka! RumbaRue **Which one of my personalities do you find offensive?**

Here's one that just came off the top o' me head this mornin' Be a pirate, be a pirate, There's nothing like a pirate, Sailin' an robbin' with no regret, It's here I'll hang me hat, well met, Another day, another dubloon, Ne're a need to ever fret, I'll be a pirate, Yes a Pirate, 'Till twilight nears, and me life be at rest. So what can some of you do? Try and keep it clean! I know, it's hard but there's younsters reading these posts too. RumbaRue **When Arrrrggghhhh just isn't enough**

Well there's an interesting item in the new 'Renaissance' magazine I got the other day. It talked about Shakespears day when clay pipes that were found from the time were holding traces of cocaine and marijuana. (Article on page 20) So maybe those pirates were really 'swishbuckling' around! RumbaRue **Two wrongs are only the beginning**

Thank you! I am not sure what was happening before, but things had become 'frozen' after reading a few posts, forcing me to shut down my computer 6 times this past week. Now it looks better and hopefully the bugs are gone. RumbaRue **If at first you don't succeed, then walking the plank isn't for you**

For those on the Pacific side it will be the pirate fair in Ojai in Sept. That's the one all the pirate groups try to get to. Check out more info on in the "Raids" section messages or just go to: http://www.goldcoastfestivals.com for more information. RumbaRue **If at first you don't succeed, then walking the plank isn't for you**

Yo, Captain Sage, checked out your site. Well at least your daughter didn't draw you as a stick figure! Bawaahhhhhaaaaaaa! RumbaRue **Another day, another dubloon** :)

I can heartily say the Port Royal Privateers will be there! RumbaRue **Fun time in the rum time!**

Get yourself a copy of : Port Royal, Jamaica, by Michael Pawson and David Buisseret. You can probably get it from Amazon. com, where I got mine. Tells you everything you wanted to know and then some. Great reading about the insights of everyday life, I highly recommend it for everyone! RumbaRue **Life is what you make it, I'll make mine happy**

Ok, I'm really and landlubber (ducking everyone throwing cannonballs at me) as I'd rather be riding a horse. Unfortunatly I don't have one anymore (actually that was in another lifetime in a galaxy far, far away), well I don't have ship either, so I guess all I can do is dream about it. ' But hey I'm a great 'wannabe'!!! RumbaRue **I'd rather be training cabin boys**

I was concerened too when I got Gilligan, about how my cats would react. At first they thought I had brought them dinner, but 'dinner' had other ideas. Now Gilligan will actually chase and try and bite my cats if they bother him too much. Be forewarned about buying parrots- they need LOTS of attention and GOOD care. They are also LOUD. I had to snicker when I did some research on the Internet and books about Senegal parrots; supposedly they are great for apartments cuz they are quite! Don't believe a word of that nonsence. You can hear my little parrot all over the friggin' complex! RumbaRue **More rum! More rum!**

Well here's a picture of me bird and kitties. Here's Gillligan! This one is with my kitty, Magick This one is with my kitty, Shadow. Oh on the wall behind is some of my award winning celtic needlepoint. RumbaRue **Life is a full pitcher of rum**
