I'll be including a link to this site as a good place for prospective Brit Pirates to start if that's OK... again - thank you all for the fun that i had - I'm already missing you all! X Ahoy, Nikki.... I'm glad you were able to make it to PiP. I enjoyed hanging out with you. I hope your write-up in the Mirror is well received. >>>> Cascabel
Captain Jim Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I'm afraid I didn't get to meet you, Nikki, but of course you can publish our site as that's why we're here. Glad you had a good time. Come see us again and next time, come in garb and join the fun and write about it from behind the scenes. If you think it was fun to spectate, wait until you participate. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Nikki-the-journo Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Oh, I got to have plenty of fun, thanks to you all - I never thought I'd be shooting off a blunderbuss before settling down for some singing but you chaps are terribly persuasive...
Captain Jim Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Oh, I got to have plenty of fun, thanks to you all - I never thought I'd be shooting off a blunderbuss before settling down for some singing but you chaps are terribly persuasive... Aye, a bunch o' "chaps" running about with swords, knives, axes, pistols, belaying pins, long guns, cannons and a blunderbuss or two; Aye, persuasive, that's us.

RustyNell Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Nikki, darling girl!! I can hardly wait to read your account. It was so very much fun playing pirate with you, last year a blunderbuss next year CANNON! And we need to get you your own hat..though you looked fabulous in Stynky's. ohh and singing you did... you chaps need to hear her lovely voice, so pure... she's certainly a sweet sultry syren.

Captain Jim Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 So, can anyone post a picture of this wench so we might remember of whom it is that we speak? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Nikki-the-journo Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 I received a disc from Tony & Fayma this morning...and was greeted with this lovely sight! Thanks to Stynky for the loan of his lovely hat!
Raphael Misson Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I believe there are several shots of her firing in the Callahan's photos. I wish I could tell you where they are, but after searching everything on their site related to the Journal my mind is still wobbling. (In one of the dozen or so folders, I think they have more photos than all the rest of us took combined!) “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Stynky Tudor Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm afraid I didn't get to meet you, Nikki. . .. . .Thanks to Stynky for the loan of his lovely hat! Oh Jim I'm sure you met her, she's the cute little blond with the horribly fake British accent. Nikki, you really need to work on that for next year. You should try watching stuff like the BBC, Monty Python, Doctor Who and Benny Hill. The accent that you have now - sounds like you're from Orange County and that you watch a lot of West Wing. OMG - just look at that little minx, she stole my hat!
Silkie McDonough Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 OMG - just look at that little minx, she stole my hat!Bout time someone stole something of Stinky's!
Raphael Misson Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) <snip>OMG - just look at that little minx, she stole my hat! Nobody needs to steal your hat.

You said you'd sell your own mother - God bless her soul- for $20. (I remember.) Do you mean to tell me that Stynky actually owns a hat of his own, and doesn't simply "stop the music" when one lands on his head? I kind of figured that he shuffles hats around until he finds one that fits and then slinks off into the night to sell it for more mead.

Nikki-the-journo Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 I feel almost bad about this but seriously, Stynky - I DONT HAVE YOUR HAT!! Who does? Not me... alas - I thought I might attract a little attention trying to creep back on the flight home to Blighty in that lil' beauty... actually - maybe I left it with Braze??
Mission Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I feel almost bad about this but seriously, Stynky - I DONT HAVE YOUR HAT!! Who does?

Capt. Sterling Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 OMG - just look at that little minx, she stole my hat!Bout time someone stole something of Stinky's! Oi Cheeks and I stole his bottle of Pyrate's Choice... oh wait, that was Jim's bottle, that Stynky stole from him....we just kind of stole it back...

Oi Cheeks and I stole his bottle of Pyrate's Choice... oh wait, that was Jim's bottle, that Stynky stole from him....we just kind of stole it back... Actually, Don left 3 in the Oar House II when he disappeared. I gave one out (the one Stynky "stole"), kept one guarded as I and others partook and hid the other in my sea chest pending Stynky stealing the one I was guarding.

Patrick Hand Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Nah... nah... nah... the bottles a' mead.... the three wot Stynky stole, an' I kinka carried back ter the Ordinary, (just so Stynky wouldn't stumble, fall and break 'em...) Thats wot we drank fer the rest of th' night..... alla that mead.... (If I said ... remember that mead... no one wot was there...would....) I stoll them from Stynky.... and then gave it all away..... (well drank me fill, and then gave Stynky the little wot was left in th' bottles after we passed 'em around....) And I still have me hat.....
Mission Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Nah... nah... nah... the bottles a' mead.... the three wot Stynky stole, an' I kinka carried back ter the Ordinary, (just so Stynky wouldn't stumble, fall and break 'em...) Wait...Stynky stole 3? Or do you mean the 3 he conned people into buying for him? He only stole one that I know of. (Of course, it could be successfully argued that my memory was unreliable after the third or fourth bottle he conned out of the unsuspecting. Gawd, that stuff sneaks up on you...)

Fayma Callahan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Nikki~ Glad you got your disk of photos! Can't wait to read/see your story on PiP. We are glad that you came over to play! Hope to see you again next year! http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesacallahan100
Stynky Tudor Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 OMG - just look at that little minx, she stole my hat!Nobody needs to steal your hat. You said you'd sell your own mother - God bless her soul- for $20.

I kind of figured that he shuffles hats around until he finds one that fits and then slinks off into the night to sell it for more mead. Actually Mission, I don't need to sell my Mom - she's a good resource. She's a bit OCD and cleans house real well, I just realized that I can rent her out for mead money periodically. It's amazing what she can find in a couch. But Jim - isn't that how it's done? Wait around for the music to stop - then wandering off with the hat on your head, the tankards closest to you and the occasional bone saw. Stynky - I DONT HAVE YOUR HAT!!... actually - maybe I left it with Braze?? *sigh* And people don't think us American's get British humor. Ha ha ha, You Brits are so delightful! I know I already said that to you on MySpace Sorry but the, Oh I gave it to Somebody thing, really doesn't become you. There's no need to pawn your thievery off on poor Braze - I've already been to his house and gotten all the stuff he stole from me. Really it's okay, I'm not mad at you anymore - it's a fair cop - just admit it.
Nikki-the-journo Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Dear Splendid Pyrates (and Stynky...) I've mailed Rusty Nell a copy of the article and hope she shares it around with you all... Much love from dear old blighty... NIKKI
