Thank you Lady Barbossa! I almost had the biggest catch out at the Oceanside pier yesterday....used some squid, got hooked on a very big - well over 20 pounds - sort of grayish, green with yellow fins......don't know what kind of fish it was, but sadly there were so many fishing lines in the water, my line got all tangled up with some others and the fish got away. Bummer! Didn't catch anything else. Next time I go to the pier, I'll go on a weekday when there's less likely to be a ton of people on the pier.

Congrats! Another pirate has been born!

Thank you so much! Boats and I went to the Valley View Casino last night for their all you can eat lobster buffet.........food was very good (also very expensive!), but the lobsters were the small kind and you only got half at a time. Course we had to wait 2 1/2 hours in line.....waiting in the casino where smoking IS allowed.........YUCKY! I don't think we'll be going back there for quite some time even if it is only 15 minutes away. Today Boats and I are off to Oceanside to try my hand at some pier fishing with my new saltwater rod (I bought it).

Thank you, thank you! So far my day has consisted of washing the car and vacuuming, don't I know how to have a good time!

Money will buy a fine dog but only kindness will make him wag his tail. 3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all. 4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs. 5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water. 6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? 7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without. 8. Why is it that, at class reunions, you feel younger than everyone else looks? 9. Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. 10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who anxiously awaits his 16th birthday. 11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity. 12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4AM: It could be a right number. 13. No one ever says "It's only a game" when their team's winning. 14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap. 15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it. 16. The trouble with bucket seats is not everybody has the same size bucket. 17. Do you realize in about 40 years we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!) 18. Money can't buy happiness - but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than in a Kia. 19. After 70 if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

Thank you Jacky!

Gawd, just the mention of my name in the article about Pyrate Con, has gotten several people to call me and tell me they saw me mentioned. Ooooooh, I'm famous.....not!

How to tell if the average person might be a pirate? Hold a bag of booty and and see if they take it....and if they do.... Presto! You got a pirate! ,

I never felt it as either I was driving at the time or fishing. Boats said San Diego rocked well.

Hopefully I'll get a little wiser to this scam and know better.

Hmmmm, first you start off with a mission, then you travel to another place and get your desserts with caraccioli, then you decide to continue on the mission until you find the angel Raphael and now you decide that you're an angel on a mission? Ooooh plaaaleeeseeeee! I need a drink.

What's all this quaking about? A prairie duck? Never heard of such a thing. What does it taste like? How do you cook it, with lots of spices? There's some decent recipes in 'Way to a Pyrates Heart'....... In any case welcome to the Pub and be sure and have all your quackers lined up for target shooting. (Just kidding) Rumba Rue

HMS ROSE/SURPRISE I know when I went on board I was just in awe of the magnificent beauty of the ship. The inside of the ship has been transformed into a museum and the Captain's area is set up like a dinner, fine crystal, china, some of the actual outfits worn by the actors. There's also a tiny area where the ship's doctor's room was, also showing the medicine bottles and such that a doctor of the time would have (Mission you should see it!). The area is just big enough for a small bunk, and a small table, otherwise most closets in your home would be bigger. Yes the ship is in need of major repairs before it can sail again. It's one of the reasons there's a fee to get on board - the fee helps towards repairs. The iron hulled Star of India is docked right next to it along the waterfront. That thing has no engine so when they do actually take her out to sail, tugboats have to be used until open water.

I understand that this is not spam as I first thought. I received a PM from Mr. Abdikarim Mohamed, informing me that .....well ....I know I shouldn't tell who he really is.......... damn sneaky pirates.........

Good ol' San Diego! We rock! :angry:

Interesting..........a new kind of SPAM! Seriously, I think you have the wrong pub..... :angry:

shrooms shrooms gotta love them shrooms shrooms!

Waz he do? Shave 'is legs?

and the other picture.... BTW- There's another thread about this is Rabble-Rousing
