Capt. Sterling Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Now wait just a minute. She signed the Mercury articles! (If only we had a captain to defend the Mercury's rights...) And nay, she did NOT sign any Mercury articles, if there even are any.... besides what are articles only a piece of paper... now where is that lit cigar of mine! "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Lily Alexander Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 The Captain is correct. I signed no articles that I can remember. Or perhaps the rum made me do it. Either way, I have the cigars Captain. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/

Misson Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Every Mercury crew member would have signed the article, no one could be missed on a proper pirate ship...no one, except, by coincidence, me. [/Lee Marvin]. (Surgeon's were rarely made to sign the pirate articles.) (For a really interesting account of how hard it was to avoid signing a pirate ship's articles even when forced to be a pirate, read Philip Ashton's A History of the Strange Adventures and Signal Deliverances of Mr. Philip Ashton Jun. of Marblehead.)

Edward O'Keeffe Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 aye, i'm back and well rested from three weekends of rowing. well two rowing- yes i do that- and one as coxwaine. i'm taking this weekend off, i've dropped eight pounds this month.yeah, i have not heard much from edward either, hope he did not take things personal. so how goes it in your world? did you attend port washington last weekend? Duchie, Yes I have been keeping a low profile, seemed to be in the best interest of all involved. I thought we had agreed that it would be best if we never spoke those events again. That being said, I cant wait till next year.
Dutchman Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 well i'm glad to see you back regardless... i've reevaluated the situation and i'm still not sure how it happend.
callenish gunner Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 We have already begun our plans for PIP this year and we will be back to Hampton next year with additional stock and a wider selection of goodies. Also for those so inclined we will accept work on consignment for the events for those who feel so inclined as to try to balance the expense of the travel with the sale of high quality period work. You set the price and give us enough background that we will be able to market your wares for you. We don't want nor will accept a cut for your items!!! What's good for one pyrate is good for all!
Capt. Sterling Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Oi Callenish, see if you can't get yer sword producer to enlarge the hilt/grip a bit... tis small for my hand and my hand is smaller than most.
