hurricane Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I love the tune "The Bonnie Ship the Diamond" but it is not PC and not to be sung when there are tourists about. Stop over at the Catt & Fiddle to sing it Silkie. We opted not to do period music. The group didn't want to learn songs they don't like just to be proper to 1681. So we're sticking with the stuff everyone looks forward to singing rather than have them dread it. Don't want the scoundrels planning a mutiny on me. -- 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.

Silkie McDonough Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 I think one of the things that I like best about PiP is the options. Who knows, some year for the parade I may go Hollywood! lol
Silkie McDonough Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 For those of you who choose to relax on the beach or in the camp much of the time consider learning knots or carving. Skills that you might be likely use for long times on the ship sailing. Sewing clothes, mending nets, mending sails ...okay ...maybe making sails into other things, etc. We could use a blacksmith in the "town", there is a forge. There will likely be much time for this work but keep it in mind.

Abbington M. Normal Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Good lord I haven't been on in a while! Well I must admit I haven't read all the posts but I had an idea for the PIP that I posted about for 08 last year thought I'd bring it up. Thank you Lord for copy and paste Both pyrates and pyrate hunters capture someone (or one of them does) like we did in 07. And when we trade off, someone could disagree with the choice and as the prisoner from the opposite side walks back to their crew or away from them, the person who disagrees could pull out a pistol and shoot them in the leg. Of course the prisoner grabs his/her leg and falls to the ground. The surgeon could yell at the person who shot the prisoner about how they had a fair trade. And of couse the captain would be very displeased (or not) And then the surgeon could opperate on the prisoner's leg right there. And I gladly volunter to get shot in the leg...ooo fake blood Of course I don't have to be the one to get shot (but would like to). So yeah that's pretty much it. Oh I did skim something about music?
Capt. Sterling Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 And I gladly volunter to get shot in the leg...ooo fake blood Right then, we shall shoot ye! (Careful that fake blood stains) "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...

Abbington M. Normal Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Good, that'll give my breeches and stocking more character...
Capt. Sterling Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 The only problem being, does not stain like actual blood does..

Littleneckhalfshell Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 ""The only problem being, does not stain like actual blood does.. "" Hey, if you need real blood, check in at an oriental market, the one by me here in NJ has refrigerated bags of beef blood and bags of pork blood available for sale. I am not sure what it would be used for, but they have lots of other things that I don't understand either. No Fear Have Ye of Evil Curses says you... Aye,... Properly Warned Ye Be says I

Iron Jon Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I haven't been on in a while and it looks as if a lot of new plans are in the works. I want to play along as much as possible next year although I'm still new to all this, last PiP bring my first event. (...and I'm still not much of a talker with or without an accent!) Like I wrote a few months ago, I have some 'more or less' period woodworking tool that I was planning on bringing next time to PiP. I also have a bow lathe and a shave horse that I wanted to set up near my campsite and turn out a few item as needed. I guess I could fit in the central camp area or maybe set up around the forge near the fort. I've never done any living history type demonstrations like this before but I'm willing to learn as I go along. I did get a chance to talk to many of the lost visitors to last years camp and answer questions about why we were there. Being in the last campsite on the corner kind of made us the unofficial information booth for the careening camp.

Misson Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Not having read the storyline, I have no idea what Lilly McKinney is. Now...I just saw Dangerous Beauty last night and...I was wondering...is that what Lilly is? he asks naively. (Catherine McCormack was wonderful. I saw her in something else awhile back and she was wonderful then, too. I didn't realize she was so young.)

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I been thinkin... Ok, clearly[/color] this time, that maybe killin off some poor wretch with a name ain't such a good idea. What if there really is someone named Angus Mc Allistaire out there and I create some bad Kharma by having him die? I ain't the religious type, but I've seen Kharma at work and that has some weight to it. Should we just use the sea chest and goodies as unclaimed salvage from the shipwreck instead? Comments/ suggeations? Bo
Capt. Sterling Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 Dear Cap'n,Might ye be a needin' some papers for yer scenario? Perhaps some "Wanted" type postings or Letters etc?

Misson Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Well, yes Mission that is what Lilly McKinney is...a Courtesan from the Late 17th Century. I thought you might find this interesting, Cheeky. It's from Barlow's Journal, by Edward Barlow, edited by Basil Lubbock: “[1661] And also there are in this city [Lisbon] many courtesans, many of them both young and handsome, who will call any Englishmen or strangers as they walk the streets, and will ask them in as good English as they can speak whether they will come in and drink the wine and take a bit to stay their longing; sitting and looking out of their windows upon who passeth by, and they are decked very handsome in apparel and ‘gorny’ in their hair, finely dressed with ribbons and open sleeves and buttoned jackets, their shifts being as large as half-shirts in England, very neat and handsome.” (Barlow, p. 63) "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Misson Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 And some more from Barlow's Journal: “[1669] Here [Leghorn, Italy] are many kind-hearted courtesans and brothel-houses, where many a man empties his pockets of moneys in keeping company with them, and here are some English men and women who live here which keep the trade going, and having had custom in England, or played some rogues’ and whores’ tricks they come to such places as this, and set up their shops. There are such English men and women in most places of any great trade, both in Spain and ‘Portangell’ [Portugal], and in some places in Italy, and suchlike houses of entertainment are in most places where any ships come, that trade never failing till it hath confounded both body and soul into Hell, for go where you will, you shall sooner find where you may learn vice than virtue, for the way that leadeth to destruction is wide and easy to be found.” (Barlow, p. 163-4) "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
