Harry Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 OMG, I live here and I'm still not unpacked! One portion of the trailer is devoted to Civil War, another to British Artillery and yet another to pyrates. The Mrs. is not amused nor are the cats. ------- Fort Taylor Pyrate Fest MySpace Page Master Hairbone's MySpace Page ------- There is no more equitable judge than a cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Oh, who gives a damn about cats! Now a wife that allows you to play pyrate? Irreplaceable! Don't unpack, says I, 'tis a dangerous step towards not going back! Besides, you will instantly smell, um, well, authentic when you return next year. (17 more days until the next PiP can be referred to as "going this year.") My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 For what it's worth, I have some boxes that have been packed since I moved from my home-town in 1995. I have moved three times since then and still haven't opened 'em up! Must not be anything important, because I haven't been lookin fer nothin out of 'em. Hey, maybe that's where my mind is at!

Diosa De Cancion Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 how about my hats....yeah thats right...crushed beyond repair durring flight back.... Never ever trust the airlines with your hat!!! We always carry or wear them...even if there are a bunch.... we look kind of like the pirate hat guy in the POTC ride..... :) Being dressed as a pirate is also pretty easy on security... they figure with how much we stand out, we probably aren't a threat.... not to mention we have a fabulously choreographed boot removal system that could likely be set to music.....

Iron Jon Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I just finally had my son move the cooler and washed cooking gear from the front door out to the garage. I unloaded and cleaned them up the day I got home and left it all sitting there for the next 10 days.

hurricane Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yes, the boot-off in security is a hoot - looks like a circus act... all it needs is some well timed "Hup! Hup!" sounds to it. TSA gets a kick out of it though. The only problem traveling in costume is they always want to trade their TSA hat for your tricorn. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Mission Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 [you also need to know how they treated drowning victims as CPR and mouth to mouth is out of the question.... Found the answer for this one! You either a) rolled them over a barrel or b ) inverted them (hung them upside down) and then gently released them (unless you didn't like the person, I suppose). Captain Jim recommended this book called Revolutionary Medicine and it is quite the guide to 18th century medicine. I also may be able to lay my hands on a copy of Woodall's The Surgeon's Mate which is essentially THE medical book that would have been in widespread use during the 17th and early 18th centuries on the sea.

Heck... gives them something to talk about at lunch I guess.... Too bad I didn't carry th' shrunken head again this year......... Hhm, we've never been searched. Even when flying back from Jamaica the only one searched was the one guy's girlfriend who wasn't in costume. Everyone else went straight through. The bags going in and out of both countries were never even opened. That goes for the Bahamas and Puerto Rico when we've traveled (and we had 10 of us in costume for Puerto Rico travel). When we went to the Abacos last year, the customs official in Treasure Cay asked us what was in the one box. We replied... "guns and swords." He just laughed and said, "that makes sense" and waved us through. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Fayma Callahan Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Since we haven't started a weapon posting yet for this year, I thought I would just use this one... It also might have fit under Top 10 posting, but here goes: Cap'n and I just received the best Christmas gift for each other from Callenish!! We purchased 2 of his British Light Dragoon Pistols and I could not be any happier (unless I had powder...)!! They are incredibly beautiful, and if you get the opportunity to get weapons this holiday season, get them from Callenish!! Thanks a million, they are really beautiful! I'll get the Cap'n to photograph them for all to see! Huzzah to Callenish! The rum is on us! http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesacallahan100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me with an address and I will be happy to mail it. Hey, thanks Fayma! I got my notebook...along with my padded bike glove, long thought gone bike headlight and the leather thong. (Yes, fellow participants, I got my leather thong; I'm sure you're all relieved. Fortunately, I never needed it...) Thanks again, Fayma! I think I left half my stuff in your camp!
