Cap'n Coyote

Ye must 'ave me confused wi' one o' them diurnal critters, Royaliste. We coyotes hunt by moonlight.

But I be savin' me doubloons jus' as fast as I c'n. 'Tis turnin' inta a full-blown obsession, it is. But I guess ya wouldn't know anything about that.

Most likely they be used ta it, if'n ye c'n believe half o' th' stories what come from th' Royaliste.

Why d'ye think I wants ta get out there so bad?

In Darjeeling, a pub wench named Taft,

Claimed, "It's great to be best at yer craft,

For while aiming to please,

I serves beers on me knees,

So each sailor gets head with his draft."

Redneck Zombies- Fangoria magazine ran a contest for amateur make-up FX, the winner got their movie distributed. Unfortunately, there were no rules about plot or dialogue.

Manos: The Hands of Fate- for all you Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fans

Not to totally steal this thread, but both FT's homepage and Laugh.com have reissues available of several of their albums.

God Bless Vespucciland!

It's not a total non-sequitur. Check out Firesign Theatre's Temporarily Humboldt County.

Somebody mention Rum? I mean...Arrr!

Royaliste! Good ta 'ave ye back on, mate! I'll see ya' back on the Shore Raid!

*hoists Powder Burn*

OMG! I can't believe I missed that! VeggieTales rocks!

and I'm surprised to find that the majority of you like vampire movies!

Don't be surprised, Lass. Vampires be a lot like Pirates.

They are dark, on the outside of society, have a very distinct dialect, and are snappy dressers. :)

I'm glad the lad is enjoying his treasures. Good show, all of ye!

Hmmm. 12 hour drive. Won't be anytime soon. Should it work out, I'll let you know. Thank you, sir.

Your signature is glorious, by the way.

Hawkyns,

Where might ya be located? If it's close enough, I'd be honored ta see yer work.

CC

Yeah. There'll be a couple o' th' lasses who'll be wantin' that one. Best hang on to it.

:)

Very groovy. Now throw a couple o' cutlasses inta their hands an' we'll be set!

Paisley,

I took fencing in college, and had a blast. Go ahead and do it so you'll already be limbered up when you start the other classes.

You may also want to look into some Eido (sp?) classes. It is the art of swordfighting, boiled down over a few thousand years into it's essence.

A buddy of mine takes it, and says that all of his swordfighting styles improved, not just the japanese ones.

Advice: Do the exercises. Wear the safety gear. Don't take the little rubber tips off of the foil.

Almost makes you forget about the back spasms after 4 hours of leaning over a light-table. :)

Better yet just give me the drag of a nice HB pencil on some slightly toothy paper and I be in heaven.

Or the effortless flow of ink from a double-0 .30 mm Staedtler drafting pen onto clean blueprint stock.

Drafting courses.

Sorry, didn't mean to jump in all rude like that. But I totally connected with you there, Stynky.

Apologies to you as well, Zephyr. Me mum would beat me if she knew I had interrupted a lady's conversation. We're Southern, don'cha know.

I used to live in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the crows there are as big as small dogs. They're very laid back birds, never would fly off when traffic was coming, but we never saw one as roadkill.

I always wondered about that until I remembered that they're always telling each other "Ca! Ca!"

*accepts cannon fire as tribute*

No clue about the numbers and letters.

...or maybe not. I'll PM ye.

Owning? ¿Qué quiere decir eso?

I think El Pirata be a L337 PIR473. Si, amigo?

*Thinking: oh please..oh please don't answer in Spanish, That's all I know...swear to god...*

I'm seein' it again tonight...'course, as I be workin' at th' theater, an' get in gratis, no revenue from me, mate.

Any gentleman wish to join me in a quadrille?

"Youth's a season made for Joys, Love is the our Duty . . ."

Is that one o' yer fancy lubber's beds?

Aye, I'm all in favor of the gathering o' th' rosebuds whilst ye may.

*notices stares at pirate quoting poetry*

What? I plundered a schoolhouse by accident once. 'twas th' rum.

So...Heaving Bosoms and Rampant Penises...

*yells out the door*

HEY MAUDLIN! WE GOT THE NAME FER YER CULT NOW!

Just curious as to what footwear is best for ship activities. Not necessarily re-enacting. This kind of echoes another thread, but wet decks, climbing rigging, etc. can't be easy in a pair of boots. Would tennis shoes be the best? Some sort of sandal? Barefoot with calluses the size of halibut?

I was just thinking back on my days of rock-climbing and the shoes we used then. If you're not familiar with them, they are a light canvas shoe with a large, sticky rubber sole curving up over the toes and heel, usually purchased 1 to 1 1/2 sizes smaller than your street shoe, and usually in colors that would make golfers hyperventilate. Anybody ever tried them on a ship?

If you want a really messed up musical, try 'Sweeney Todd'.  Though not really nautical, it definitely has all the love, death and phcotic madmen that would make even the most gentile pirate reminisce about wilder days.

I used to have a T-shirt that advertised Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies.
