The only thing I have that looks authentic is my Thrum cap. I'm working on trying to make my garb look 16th century Irish sailor/pirate. It's a work in progress.

Too much coffee makes me sleepy.

Why yes it is....I lost my ring during a 2 week event and had to find something else to use and I just happen to find it at one of the vendors.

I don't know about you but being a Pastafarian, I won't have time to sleep when I'm dead. I'll be going between the Stripper factory and the Beer Volcano.

being awake is overrated! keep yourself asleep and just go into auto-pilot...that's my suggestion.

Day---Night....it all depends on when you goto bed and wake up again. Sometimes several days turn into one day if you don't go to bed. My longest day is 73 hours.

You have to THINK at work......*shivers* If I think at work I get labled a rebel.... Hmmm.....almost 6:30am I should get a little sleep.....maybe I'll go read a book to make me sleepy.

I'll take a little coffee with my whiskey please.

“If they ever come up with a swashbuckling school, I think one of the courses should be laughing, then jumping off something.” -Jack Handey

I try not to think. Aye, good things happen to pirates like you Silkie. I've been living off 4 hours of sleep a night for about 25 years or more. Sometimes you just have to tell the voices in your head to shut up once or twice. CHEERS to my fellow pirates of the wee hours.

Standing at my pub. What do you do with a drunken Pirate? After the field battle @ Pennsic War.

“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever, One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never: Then sigh not so, but let them go, And be you blithe and bonny,”-William Shakespeare

*gives Silkie a hug* When I finally woke up this morning I was sooo sore. I guess I'm getting too old to be a bouncer. I had to kick 5 people out of the bar and I got a very nice bruise on my left shoulder.....another day in the life of a Pirate Bouncer.

“John Hammond: When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked. Ian Malcom: Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.” Dread Pirate Roberts - “Life is pain...anyone who says differently is selling something.” Saint Augustine of Hippo - “An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride. 'What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor.'” Bern Williams - “The average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate.” Sir William Schwenck Gilbert - “I'm very good at integral and differential calculus, I know the scientific names of beings animalculous; In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.”

Well, it is 6:55 am and I'm still awake for some reason. I should make myself get some sleep some day.

Well, it's 4:35am I guess I'll go to bed. Gotta be up in about 5 hours.

I like playing the Bohdran, Djembe and Dumbek. I like beating on things.

Last time I made some rum balls I used Sailor Jerry. mmmmmmm

Bows and takes the quill. I gladly place my mark. X

Perkeo feeling pretty good by now goes behind the bar and makes a Drambuie on the rocks. Here be your drink, BriarRose! Then he pours himself a Jamesson on the rocks.

I rarely go to bed before 4am. Here are some quotes of inspiration for us insomniacs. Oh, yeah, I'm signing up! It's at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don't know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before, but it is so; the night seems to release a little more of our vast backward inheritance of instincts and feelings; as with the dawn, a little honey is allowed to ooze between the lips of the sandwich, a little of the stuff of dreams to drip into the waking mind. I wish I believed, as J. B. Priestley did, that consciousness continues after disembodiment or death, not forever, but for a long while. Three score years and ten is such a stingy ration of time, when there is so much time around. Perhaps that's why some of us are insomniacs; night is so precious that it would be pusillanimous to sleep all through it! A "bad night" is not always a bad thing. ~Brian W. Aldiss Dawn: When men of reason go to bed. ~Ambrose Bierce Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep. ~Fran Lebowitz Sleep - those little slices of death, how I loathe them. ~Edgar Allen Poe (Sleep... Oh! how I loathe those little slices of death. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?) Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up. ~Ellen Goodman Insomnia is a gross feeder. It will nourish itself on any kind of thinking, including thinking about not thinking. ~Clifton Fadiman If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he'd make a fortune. ~Griff Niblack Early to rise and early to bed Makes a man healthy and wealthy and dead. ~James Thurber, Fables for Our Times, 1940

My take on some good old Corned beef and cabbage. 1 3-4lb slab of corned beef 1 can of pickling spice 1 bag of small red potatos 1 nice sized head of cabbage 6 or more bottles of Guinness 1 bottle of Irish whiskey In a very large pan place the corned beef. Cover one side with pickling spice completely. Fill with water. Add 1 bottle of Guinness and 1 shot of whiskey. (some what optional: open another bottle for yourself and do a shot) Bring to a good boil and let it go for about 2 hours. Turn down the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer over night. When you get up the next day you might need to add more water. When you do go ahead and add another bottle of Guinness and shot of whiskey. All together the meat should cook for about 12 hours. (nice and tender) About an hour before serving take out the meat and put in the potatos and cabbage and cook until tender. (should be about an hour) Invite some friends over and drink the rest of the Guinness and Irish whiskey.

it's been so long I really don't remember how or when in my drunken state that I managed to find this place let alone my pants. But I'm happy I did!!!!!

Very very nice sound.....I likey

I'm in the SCA and don't really go to faires, not that I don't like faires they can be really fun and I've known many people that go to them, it's just that the SCA takes up most of my time. I've been working on my persona for a long time evolving it when I can, so I've been working on a Viking turned Pirate persona in the late 11th early 12th centuries. It is a work in progress and I'm still doing the research. When I get my research completed I want to try to look as authentic as possible. Until then I wear what ever I can find or what my wallet will let me wear. just my 2 pence, Perkeo It's all a matter of sematics: you call it a drinking problem, I call it a reality exit stratagy
