Toga Party At Beryana's Camp!! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! ...oh wait, that should have been 'Tortuga party' TORTUGA! TORTUGA! TORTUGA!!

I did naught know we had a Pirate Anonymous Club here?!! Aye, I confess, I be a pirate. I be a pirate in th' morn when I get up. I be a pirate before lunch then twice again after. I be a pirate before I go t' bed and often I get up two, three, sometime four time t' be a pirate some more.

I naught be fustilarated?? A little confused perhaps, but ne'er fustilarated.... ::what's they mean t' be 'fustilarated'??::

::sipp'n me rum 'n wonder'n; what he got in that thar chest? gold? gems? junket? 'er perhaps more rum!?:: Welcome mate, 'n thank'ee for th' drink! ::wonders what treasure he be hide'n in that thar chest....::

OMG Bosun! I hope he washed it first!??! Pirate germs - YUCK!

'high end jewelery'?? ....uh, then just where be th' 'low end jewelery' t' be worn??

Hey Patrick! Look at ye number, yer'ns be 921, mine be 920 - GO SIT DOWN 'N WAIT YER TURN! (places hand upon flintlock...)

::comes rush'n through th' door in haste:: Move! Move! Get outta me way!! I hear tell there be a saucy lass hand'n out Felicitations!! Well 'ello 'ello fine lass.....I gots money (felicitations...be that standing up, 'er lay'n down?? )

'n unusual places t' bed their strumpets

I like Townsed & Son's socks, they have black ones in cotton. Their socks are only $8 and I have a couple white ones what lasted all year and will still wear them again this year. They have fine stripped ones I wear too. They usually deliver in about a week's time for me! Townsend & Son's socks Ye can always get th' white ones then paint them black with some fine Stockholm Tar: Fine smell'n Stockholm Tar!

Gotta love a whore who makes th' best outta bad thing! 'n even gets wrote up in a prominent news rag for it!! ....now, might this Agelina Harford have a sister? I would like t' see 'bout a threesome!

Careful now Quartermaster, they have a word for them ye know; 'Divorcee'

Now, Now me dear Mary Diamond! A gentleman pirate do naught discuss he's sex life in public. Just 'where' I bed me tarts be naught open fer PUBlic discussion! ....however, that re-tongued maneuver ye speaks of... for a "for pattern change" ye says?? Interesting indeed

I was working as a dental assistant in London's posh Knightsbridge area. Our clientele were predominantly Lords and Ladies and other members of the aristocracy. There were two girls who came in for treatment whom i am happy to say I befriended. We always had such a good laugh and often we would go for a drink together after I had finished work. They would tell me stories of their work at the playboy club as bunnies and I would just sit in total awe. One day they suggested that I go to the upcoming audition at the club... blah blah, there was, needless to say the obligatory lack of confidence and a million and one reasons why I shouldn't. But hey, I went and what's more got the job!!! I started as a Croupier Bunny and attained my two certificates as a competent dealer of roulette and blackjack. When I first joined, Croupier Bunnies were still wearing hot pants and a waistcoat..... Oh WAIT! That be Bunny Pepper's bio!!!! I still be learn'n me self t' multi-task... Me own Bio? Well, still work'n out th' fine details, it be a might fuzzy after much rum but I know me da hails from what now be known as Germany, he was but a humble fisherman but with all th' fuss that lead after Holy Roman Empire he head t' England where he met me mum, a fine Irish lass o' fine breeding. But even in England they found their kind was not much welcome, treated rather poorly in fact. Me da secured passage on a merchant ship t' colonies in what we know call America...still working out th' details (like I said, much rum involved). Th' ship was attacked by Spanish pirates...we were prisoners...th' Spanish cur were attacked by English....me da was exicuted, me mum told me t' flee, I jumped ship....found me self in th' Caribbean.. Like I said, still work'n out them details.....damn details.....need another rum....now, what was Bunny Pepper up to??

If'n I was t' list th' things I have naught done at PiP th' moderators would surely ban me fer life...for that matter, I have naught done any of them at any festival fer th' same reason

Belay Such Bilge! I walk across our linoleum floor (aye, I can even say linoleum, not just spell it!) with pride, for when I am on deck th' whole crew will know t' toe th' line ('n batten down that do-hicky, 'er whatever)! Even as I come down th' dirt trail in th' canyon I notice passer-bys glance down as they can hear th' difference in sound from a well clad gent t' a mere commoner they can! Leather souls 'n wood heels command Respect! (gee, perhaps someone should have told Capt'n Dangerfield...)

Now see'n as how this is th' "Captain Twill" forum; has anyone seen any examples of sailor's knot working from th' GAoP? I know they said it was a very common past time (except'n for them what ate th' 'paste') but When did it become common practice? They say Turk's Heads and other rope/twine wrapping has been popular since th' days o' "wooden ships" for railings and other such for their ideal gripping and decorative stature but did this really extend back int' GAoP? I know braids and stuff go all th' way back into Ren period, but where are th' reference o' sailor's fancy work during th' 1700s?

Ok, so I finally figured out what I was do'n wrong with me Turk's Heads...besides try'n t' follow too many tutorials and gett'n one step wrong (going U th' lead when I was suppose'd just follow it) I was try'n t' feed it horse fodder when camels eat only straw! So here is me Turk's Head. Still needs some tightening, working alongside th' guard is a real pain. I tried waxing th' tarred marlin t' see if it would work any easier, but actually I think it may have made it harder, kinda made it more 'gooey', plus there is a spot where I think th' fiber lengths are seized and that produces a lump which made it even more tricky Stage 2, the first Turk's Head:

Happy Birthday t' Lady Brower! Happy Birthday t' Lady Brower! Happy Birthday t' Lady Brower! Ye Look Like A Pyrate, 'n Ye Smell Like One Too! Now blow out th' cannon fuse so we can start drink'n that rum!!

Rumba, I coulda sworn I spotted a sparrow's nest in it on New Yarrr's

but...but...I taught them puppies t' 'Sit', 'n t' 'Stay', 'n t' 'Heel' when we go on walks even...so far they do all three o' them tricks really really well....now if I can just teach them t' fetch me slippers 'n th' paper then I'd say they be Well Trained indeed!!! ....hmmm, reminds me o' that bloke what had a pup he would take t' th' beach 'n teach 'em t' 'Fetch'.....

Nope, both o' them have just sat there all night stick'n their tongues out at it.....

The Turk's Head has been driving me nuts, I can tie a simple one on me hand but when I try to do one with more then 4x5 I get all turned around....th' size cord I am using (about 1mm tarred marlin from American Rope) I think needs as least 5x7. But I think I figured out my own way, go around twice with the main line then back around with the standing end - kinda half arse backward but it worked on me hand....after dinner I will try it on th' handle.

That is pretty much what "Soul In A Jar" is (see post above), moccasin makers use it t' put a soul on leather where there is none. Also Shoe Goo is like rubber and I know it wears real good, just not sure if it could be spread 'EVEN' enough t' work...but th' Soul In A Jar goes on with a painter's scaper...but he says it only comes in black. Still don't know about that 'sticky carpet cement', have not found one who knows just what that thread was speaking about, and now I can not find where I found it......Rum Walkabout!

Check'd th' URL? Last time I check'd th' URL it was female... ::checks again:: Aye, it tis female alright
