Mad Jack Morgan Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 I give ye all good day...evening...morning...whatever it may be. Not quite sure meself ya know...its the rum. I be Jack Morgan. Mad Jack as somes calls me. (Use a Guvner for target practice once or twice and people suddenlys think you mad!) So open the casks and have a round on me and tells me whats doing? "That as to hanging, it is no great hardship, for were it not for that, every cowardly fellow would turn pirate and so unfit the Seas, that men of courage must starve." "Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates."
LadyBarbossa Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Another Mad Jack. Welp, welcome nonetheless, Mr Morgan. Eager t' hear yo'r stories. And thank ye fo' th' rum. I'll take th' offer of rum... then I'll have an Irish Cream, please. And whatever drink that I'll leave ye to decide. Ye've found no finer place for carousin' with likeminded lot than here on th' Pub! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Jacky Tar Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 No governors here; be warned says I, folks here shoot back. Tell us a bit more 'bout yer self Mad Jack Morgan. Thank ye, fer the ale.
Mad Jack Morgan Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Thank ye for the welcome, Lady Barbossa and Jacky Tar. The drinks be my pleasure. A bit more 'bout meself you say? Well there was the weekend in Port Royale with the constable's daughter, but she was much more wild than any story I could tell. Then there was the week in Tortuga, but some things are best left unsaid, if you take me meaning. Of course there was the month...maybe two...I spent in Madagascer....if I ever make it back... But the story that I stick to these days is that I'm a simple man, just trying to make my way in the wide world. Landlocked in the prairie sea, I'd say I venture the middle ground between Hollywood and authentic, and tend to cruise the local Ren Faires. I love the history of the pirates, and to tell the truth of it, even if contradicts meself at times. However I've always loved the imagery of the Wyeth and Pyle paintings; the swashbuckling of Flynn's 'Captain Blood'; the campiness of 'Yellowbeard' and 'The Pirate Movie'; and of course the eye candy and fantasy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'...Barbossa rules, I say! I'm currently trying to form up a crew o' like minded scallywags round these parts and to start doing things as a group, but it's been slow going. Hoping to change that over the coming winter months. But now me tankards run dry and I think I need to filler back up sez I!

Blackbead Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Ahoy there, mate! Make mine a mojito with a little extra lime. Whereabouts are ye settled? Not anywheres near Texas, are ye? There be a group already started with members from all over Texas called The Brotherhood of the Gulf. Which faires do ye attend?

Rumba Rue Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Welcome to the Pub. I checked out your website/forum and recognized a few Pubbers there.
Mad Jack Morgan Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Thank ya! I currently call Omaha me home port and consider the Renaissance Faire of the Midlands in Council Bluffs, IA me "home" faire, though I also try to hit the Nebraska Ren Faire, Des Moines, Riverssance and KCRF. I have heard rumors of something piratey happening up here next October though.... We was gonna try to hit the St Louis Pirate Fest next year, but me first mate and I (ie: wife, heh) decided to forgo that so's we could go to Pyrate Con instead.

LadyBarbossa Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Ahhh... a gent who sides with Barbossa. Ye be more than grand in m' eyes, mate! Warm's m' black heart it does. T'was a gent who was on here not but a couple months ago lookin' fo' some folks and a crew in the Omaha area (lest that be ye). I pray at least we cross paths someday then, Morgan. Pray tell, what be th' name of thy vessel? I be workin' on m'own crew to man th' Resurrection. I would be honored t' call ye as an Ally. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Mad Jack Morgan Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Nay, that werent me. I posted in the seeking pirates thread he did, hoping he'll see. Our courses may cross sometime. It seems a big world, but at times a small ocean, and ye never know whose wake you'll be crossin. And speakin o' wakes and courses, our humble ship is called the Valkyrie, an ode to the pirate of old, the Vikings, as it were. Consider the Valkyrie a friend indeed, should we come to share some sea someday.

Captain Emerald Shaunassey Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 A warm welcome to ya Master Morgan, from one pirate of the Southern Tall Grass (Prairie) Seas to another.
