ok translation please?? Rolling on the DecK Laughing My ????? ok after that I'm lost --- the mystery thing again aye ...LOL Oh and Cheeky - I am so glad you made it, and it was a pleasure to help take your PIP-ginity. What fun to witness the birth of the twins, LOL- Sterling's Mini-He. You were so much fun to play with. I look forward to lots of shenanigans next year. There is no doubt we will definitely ROCK THAT SHIP!

I really don't think there should be any limitations on what people come up with.... I find the personna idea intriguing..... I just have no idea what I would come up with for me..... Chrispy had a great idea Diosa - how about a bodice with a hallow above it. or my thought the heart pins you wear for your campaign. a mini version would make a nice ornament.

Robbies could be a short yellow ship ....loved that photo caption btw Cheeky...

Now thats a GREAT idea... then we could collect each other!!

Did someone say Chocolate FEST!?!?! Where is that?? How do i get there? Is it PC? How many days is it? ---Nell Chrispy says "oo ooo can I decorate a tree with my van??" again LOL should we make the ornaments pyrate themed?? I'm thinking mini-cannons out of femo

Who's that??? thats Not - Not Nigel!!- --Nice Puppy maybe?? -Madd Dogges baby brother. Honestly though.. that cocked brow gives you away...so maybe the kid doesn't recognize ya, but hey the wife gets a new boyfriend for Christmas

Chrispy says that raises another question, "How do you handcuff a guy with a hook?"

Oh thats funny.,...I could hear that followed by " aye ye scallywag, hands behind yer back while i clap ye in irons" Dutch...hmmm...Dutchy....hmmm...Dudley ..Dooright..."Fear not for I'll save you" The thought of you in a state troopers smoky hat lunging to save me gives me the giggles. Now it all makes sense.

10. You should be reading the 100's of e-mails in your in box, instead you find yourself rummaging around on the pub, reading everything your friends have ever posted. 9. Instead of admiring the Christmas trees in shop windows you find yourself pinning over those perfectly spaced palm trees just right for a hammock. 8. You're disappointed when friends don't end the evening in song while passing their cup around. stingy bastards! 7. You're bummed that you missed out again and forgot to cook a biscuit on your sword this year. 6. After a week of fighting sleep every step of the way, its seems foreign to actually lie down and willingly close your eyes without worrying what you might miss. 5. You spend the rest of the year trying to figure out how to clone yourself so next year you can sleep and still not miss anything. 4. You can't help but wonder....in this economy I might actually be able to find a reasonably priced island... maybe even one with a FORT??? after all I do know 100 pirates who would be willing to go in on it. 3. You wish hats would come back in fashion...you just don't get to wear your hat enough. 2. You wear your pirate hat to the grocery store... after all it feels odd not to be stared at...so to hell with it, I think I'll wear it to work tomorrow.... WHAT!?! 1. You think next year there may actually be enough people to petition the government to make it an actual HOLIDAY! - Merry PIPmas everyone!

You were a member of the club too, no one told me. WELCOME! Nell <---also a member ---- hormones suck! - tears help, amazingly (thank God for friends and their shoulders) We need to have a group session next year LOL and HEY - i didn't get a massage!!! hmmmph!

Aye cappy ....send it to that Dastardly Diosa ...she knows just how to deal with Dogge's precious things... oye ---maybe she had her lovely hands on Bonesy already very well could be how he lost his head...men are known to do that around her you know ;D

Ah no mate, sorry I can't even say that I know what it looks like. hey Stynky I think I know someone who will pay 20 for the lovely tankard in the photo? - would make a nice birthday present for Mission, don't ya think?? whispers to Stynky : How many bottles of mead did you manage to con?

Thought i'd let everyone know one more of the flock has returned to their nest. I just heard from Fayma they are home safe and sound. Hugs and kisses to all for guiding them with kind thoughts and wishes home. XOXOXOX Nell

LOL! From the very short time I've been aquatinted with Mission I've come to love his wit-filled ramblings. I'd truly be disappointed if he didn't post said dissertation. Mission! Mission! Mission!!! Truly Mission... I so enjoy reading your clever stories. You have a dialogue with the reader that is quite charming. Thanks for sharing with us.

Diosa I think you have the idea and it serves him right for not telling us so we could celebrate it together at PIP...a proper punishment is in order......a couple of extra bottles of Meade........the stocks........ just think, had you told us sooner all you'd have gotten was a cake. No really... Hugs and kisses and many Birthday wishes!

all I can remember is... 5 gold earrings.... bum bum bum bum 4 squawking parrots 3 flintlock pistols 2 cannon balls and a peg leg for my left knee!! Thanks to Mr. Silverhawk!!

for you dear girl and for anyone who has yet to hear the tale of the never ending battle between the Crew of the Bloodlust and the Arch Angels. mwwwahahahha! You can thank Dead-eye and the Cappy for the back story the song is an adaptation of it. http://www.myspace.com/thecrewotwo - it should be the first to play, if not, its in the playlist. There just rough recordings done in my spare bedroom. All the others on there are old tunes, probably some familiar - one of my favorites is Before You Kissed Me - what a love song!! I can't claim the lyric though - I only wrote the melody, the lyric is a poem by Sara Teasdale, and a gorgeous lyric it is.

You know, since finding PIP, I have to admit, we have let Christmas slip by every year practically unnoticed. Sure, I see the decorations, and hear the carols, but Mission, I agree it all pales in comparison. I haven't bothered with a tree or decorations, in years now, it seems a chore. PIP has become our winter holiday, our time with family. The days leading up to it are more exciting than waiting for Santa as a child, and seeing our friends has become the equivalent of that shiny red bike under the tree. I'm sure things might be different if we had children, then again, maybe not. Growing up, somewhere along the way, this time of year lost the magic it had in childhood. Thanks to all of you and the fun we share, every year I get a glimpse of what its like to be a kid again. The new "slogan" hits the nail on the head, it truly is the Holiday between Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family I'm so truly grateful to have. Merry PIPmas everyone! XOXOX Nell

OK I need to quit getting so excited and clicking the button 3 and 4 times - Spike thinks i'm doing it just to outrank him --- LOL

Diosa I can attest to the fact that Dutch is indeed a master at sweeping ladies off their feet...well at the very least falling on top of them it made me forget everything about my pride and the bruise on my right boobie. Dutch to the rescue!!!!
