Nathaniel Jameson Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Greetings, Checked the site(s) and was sad to see that they're no longer being kept up. Does this mean that a lonely pyrate be stuck all by his lonesome? Or does the Fools Gold have something up their sleeve to share with a Minnesotan matey? Oh Bill, I missed you... But I'll reload and try again.
Barracuda Beth Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Ahoy Thar,can I be a part of your crew,since I am from Illinois?

I've tried to update the site, but I dont have the program that I used to make the site at the beginning. I can try to fix it, but my laptop doesnt like website fixes! I might try to get to Macs Pub this year in the Fall tho. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!

wes1761 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Hey Bo!! Imagine meeting you here.....I like the dark side, they have cookies!! Good to be here though all the same If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
wes1761 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Mostly independent with F and I and Rev, belong to the Trappers Of Starved Rock though, a local shooting/rendezvous group. As far as level of involvement, I can do Fictional easy enough, but prefer history as it was. I do however try to avoid "stich nazis" telling me I cant wear a specific item because I didnt use a "historical" ie purchased pattern. (From a shirt I made of linen and hand stitched, but was told there was no documentation. I had fabric and thread, made a shirt, dont need documentation!) Love Ft. de Chartres (or Cavendish post 1765)...try to get there as often as I can....... If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
Merrydeath Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 greetings! I will try to get on the pub more often, have been busy with the one full time and 2 part time jobs I have! While we dont currently have too many crew in MO, we might be getting more next year. I am traveling to OK a bit this year, and hope to meet up with Bo and a few others in the summer. My daughter will be getting married in TX this May, and I might be able to pull off a day to meet new members! Was at KCRF on last weekend, and had a blast! Non-traditional all the way, but the Jolly Rogers rocked and the pirate shows were the best. Combat chess was amazing in its silliness. anyhoo, give me a jingle or meet me on facebook, fools gold pirates or Melissa A. cheers! Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Well M'lady, I'm gettin out of the pyrate gig, economics 101, can't afford to play at all these hobbies, and once I start teaching, the first two years are gonna be hell learnin the ropes. add to that the repairs I need to make on the abode that are in neglect, it'll take all my new revenue for about three years to get the place back in decent shape. Gonna concentrate on these horses that are just burnin hay, as my leg finally is in good enough shape I can ride several hours at a stretch, (good news for a change!) We won't be havin no internet anytime soon either, and I don't do FB, sorry. Too much schoolwork, and I only pop in here between classes on campus these days. Still have the same land-line number though, just no long distance for the now. let me know the times yer headed down, still like ta see ya sometime! best to ya! Bo

Jib Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Noticed the NEW Port Washington Pirate Festival is using lots of images of the Fools Gold crew on the website!
Merrydeath Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 Jib, that is true, and don't we look grand! I was hoping to do the fest but its the same time as another faire that is only an hour away. So, far, its won. We're letting PWF use our pics as long as they credit us. If you see something I need to look at, let me know, but they seem like a good group. I believe its the skindiving group from Port Wash that took it over. If things change and we come ashore, I hope some of our friends look us up at the fest. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!
