El Pirata Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 New addition to the set. I found the Buccaneer Bay set and Makayla dug out an old pirate ship I bought her a few years ago.

Matty Bottles Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 That carpet looks like the perfect color for stormy waters. As a child I had to put up with an ugly red-orange carpet. *Sigh* There's only so many adventures one can have on 'Lava.' "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

Zorg Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Sorta a "red carpet at morning, sailor take warning" sorta thing? Somebody should make an ocean carpet playset, complete with island. Watcha think, lads? Could be a marketing bonanza.... Drop a kitten six feet, and she grins... Drop an elephant six feet, and ya gots yerself a mess ta clean up.... Sometimes bein' the biggest and most powerful is the LAST thing you wanna be..... Mad Ozymandias Zorg the Unsnottered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Bottles Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Actually, Zorg, a playmat sort of thing would go over big with the parents I know. Done playing? Okay, just roll up the playmat with all the pieces still on it, tie the ends closed with the attached cords, and stash it in the closet or under the bed. You, sir, are a genius.

El Pirata Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 I was thinking the red in the carpet from juice might be from the "bloody battles" but thyoughts like that are not for a 5 year old. Remember to her no one ever dies. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

El Pirata Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Somebody should make an ocean carpet playset, complete with island. Does "Mount Dirtyclothes" count as an island?

Matty Bottles Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Of course! That's the only way you can custom design the caves in the island for each adventure.

Matty Bottles Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Have you checked out the "pirate mini" or the "mini pirate" thread? That's good for developing your own pirate crew.

El Pirata Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Yup the links worked. The figures are similar to the army men that were popular when I was a kid? Maybe an inch tall or so?

Redd Oktober Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Mind you, I'm slow so could you explain that one, I didn't get it. They be fine Flemish paintings of a very cute kid, matey! Redd tends to refer to photographs as "Flemish paintings"...just to maintain the illusion that he's an 18th century pirate. So the 20th century translation would be: "Just saw the pictures you posted, you have a very adorable daughter, kind sir." Trust old Redd, mate. It be a compliment! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now!
