theM.A.dDogge Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If folks are concerned with the public's response, instead of doing a full hanging such as Rackham to start.. we might want to consider doing a skit with our regular characters and a hanging with a happy ending... I have an idea, but I need to run it past Maddogge, Spike and Harry first.... I am open to ALL ideas from the Arch Angel crewe. You black dogs outdid yerselves agin this year. Not only taken the gold, but havin a right mutiny, with the crewe hangin the captain and turning Pyrat. Now can ye see why yer crewe be our role models?

RustyNell Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Its obvious to me and all those around me that you know what your doing, it was spectacularly done. There will always be some city official or such that needs some convincing just a part of the business of public theater, still I have no doubt you can convince them. I have to agree with patrick one of my favorite moments was when Sterling started to chuckle. I really hope the Callahans saved that photo for a poster next year, the mob with the smiling Sterling in the noose. “PIRACY, n.

Diosa De Cancion Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Wow.... I'm offline a few hours and there was a party it seems..... Lesse.... 1st back on the original topic.... Dogge - It was quite the event to watch. Well done by those of you that put this together. You do a damn great job at convincing the crowd they want to see someone hang. It was really interesting to watch the energy you were using at the front of the crowd start to spread from person to person until there was a whole mob going (I was camped out on the back right side of the crowd, on a bench and enjoyed watching the attitudes change). I just kicked back and felt as I had gone back in time and saw how the decision of the few to hang someone became the desire of the many. It was very curious to watch it in action. I am not surprised you have a lot of opposition before people see it. People are afraid of what they cannot understand. I go back to the PC Florida issues as well, they are overly sensitive to EVERYTHING and run and hide from anything new or different. I completely see how this could be a fantastic history lesson and be the catalyst for a discussion. Besides, New Hampshire and Washington State still have hanging as an execution option, so it's not like no one does it here anymore...... Dutch - From a sympathy angle I can see more people cringing at a flogging, as I think they look at that more as torture where a hanging is a bit more permanent and 'less suffering' in the long run.... either that or they can more easily imaging being the one flogged (and bristle at the idea) than they can seeing themselves hang. Spike - Harry -Dogge - Sterling - ETC... For the Mallory Square one could we do a reverse of what we do for Mary and Anne and drag one of your pirates down to Mallory Square in shackles and then do the hanging... more of a set up.... Off Topic Dogge We can write an official note from our company stating our congratulations for your win and our expectations for you to compete to retain your title next year. Wait a sec, she has to know it's official...even Good Morning America picked it up! :) Hurricane and I already offered to start a collection to send you a plane ticket with the official sounding paperwork to get your arse down here.... Spike What the heck was it with balls this year? Seems no one kept ahold of theirs... Crispy sent balls across the fort after playing with them with a stick (some questions are better left unasked), you lost yours in the water, Dogge lost his on the parade grounds....Sheesh...

Mission Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not to put a damper on the Mallory Square idea, but wasn't it something to do with Mallory Square that got PiP into so much trouble awhile back? It's good that the BIBs have a license to perform there, but it seems to me that you'd want to make pretty sure you guys don't jeopardize that. Get all the t's dotted and the i's crossed before we get too carried away with what could be a right controversial stunt. (Like most small towns, from what I've read in the Citizen, Key West's city council appears to have a somewhat stunted sense of humor.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
