Capt. Morgan

Sorry, lad... I just can't wait for a good party to start! Sooooooo wrong, but OH so RIGHT!!

This should help get you started... there are a few decent older books you can probably find in your local library, too... Oak Island

Ha Ha!! Right next to the Lost Ark of the Covenant!! As for a reader's digest version... there really isn't one... if we tried to condense it, we'd rob you of a lot of the interesting tid-bits... lemme see if I can't post a URL that'll allow you to read at your convenience...

Here, mate... *grabs a handful o' helium balloons* And if'n that don't work... *grabs an armload o' model rocket engines* We jus' gotta get the swine airborne? Nuthin' says the landing has ta be pretty, right?

*nods* And about 200 single socks that disappeared in my washing machine over the years... actually, I HAVE NO idea what's down there, but the pieces of gold chain brought up waaaaay back in the day have me wondering...

I FEEL IT!! I FEEL IT!! AMEN AN' HALLELUJA!! Er, ahem... sorry, jus' got caught up... AAAWWWWWW... that was sooooo sweet and innocent... On second thought... ye dirty thing!

*wipes tears, wipes sody pop he shot outta his nose* Oh, Sea Rover, lad! My sides hurt, I'm laughin' so hard!

Yup, here's to Johnny's chances again in the future! He got no Oscar, but he wasn't completely overlooked (SAG, People's Choice, etc...) come to think of it, to be awarded Best Actor by your peers, as well as the fans, well, to me that would take the cake over a bunch of besotted old fogies in "The Academy" anyhoo... *sigh* the Oscar woulda been great, though!

I love it, Maggie! Good on yer, lass, as some a me Brit pals say!

Oswego, Illinois... about a half hour west of Chicago!

We had soooo much fun celebrating Cabinlass Maggie's birthday over the period of a week, and since I LOVES a good party, I figured I'd kick things off early... Merry, thanks fer all the fun, good times, and especially fer the hot tub! Here's ta you, Lady Death, on yer upcoming birthday!! *drops off a box of Godiva, and a bottle o' Captain Morgan's spiced rum*

Happy happy happy, birthday birthday birthday!!

Two hours and twenty minutes, Maggie!!! Happy Birthday from one Chicago pyrate to another!!

I've had great fun with the game, well worth it, in my humble opinion... just remember, SAVE EARLY, SAVE OFTEN!!

Well, then! Happy berfday now, and I'll getcha again next week, Chi-Town Cabinlass!!

*nods* Very nice pics, Paisley! You'd never know it was your first set of underwater photos... gotta get to the Bahamas for some scuba one of these days... James Bond's bomber from "Thunderball" still sits underwater off of Nassau... woo hoo!

I gots six hundred seventy something in just under two months time... I am so, so sad... I blame it all on the good comp'ny, but I'm sure there's pyrates out there posting even more than that!! Actually just looked... Cap'n Gary has EVERYONE beat in about EVERY category, by a country mile!! Congrats, Cap'n!

The Aztec coin is beautifully made, and well worth the $35 I paid for it ($30 + $5 for s&h)... ordered a chain today, and I'll let you know how it is when I get it... I own a few items made by Indy, Maggie, and they are all great!

Got a first edition hardcover (1923 I think...) of Porto Bello Gold, in great condition, for $15 a few weeks back!

A group of wise men once said, "You've gotta fight for your right... TO PAR-TY!!!"

From what I can find in one of my archaeology books, Pompey was tasked with clearing the Cilician Pirates around 70 BC, and had "cleared the seas" by 67 BC, so about 3 years... Here's an easy one... Where was Capt. William Kidd born, and what did he supposedly bury before sailing to begin his privateering career?

James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak Where did the US Marine Corps officers get their sword? (yup, pirate question)

Thank ye, lad... an' happy berfday to ye... have a round on me!

Yer D*MN right, Bloody Jack!!!
