sutlerjon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Nobody yet mentioned that Capt.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Now sutlerjon if ye want to talk about bent, how about maybe crushed... Dutch keeps running over his with the car!!! So, of course I need to watch... I don't want them two breaking mine while they are playing with it.... Edited March 3, 2009 by Capt.

sutlerjon Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Point well taken, I'd probly wanna watch 'em too. 'Cause if they keep breakin' theirs well I don't know if I'd even want 'em playin' wit' mine.

Capt. Sterling Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Tis Dutch that keeps breaking them... or leaving them outside on his car... Mr. O'Keeffe is actually very, very careful with it...handles it with kid gloves, so to speak "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...

Edward O'Keeffe Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 HEY Bent or not, when it comes to backstaffs, mine works fine. Sterling, I told you this would happen if you let Dutch play with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Tis NOT bent... Dutch is just jealous because mine is bigger and much, much nicer looking than the replacement one he now has for the one he crushed under the car...or fell off in traffic, or whatever his story was as to why he lost his first one.

Dutchman Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 of sorts... hey honey grab your gear were off again.... is an interchangeable line. last year we took a cruise and the first day we looked at each other, had nothing to say for an hour and wondered what we were going to do without pirating for a whole week. so we did what any respectable pirates would do-- we went to the rum tasting and tasted every one. Thats alright though- we've met so many great folks along the way it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutlerjon Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 That's actually kinda sweet, reminds me o' me new life as a sutler with Nancy. I can't think of anything even remotely crappy to say ta that.

Dutchman Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 yeah that trip was great. we went to bermuda- i had not been there for years. the first night there we rented a cab to take us to hamilton for dinner. the cabbie knew my grandparents from 20 years ago and drove us around their old stomin grounds. I was able to find their house across the harbor from hamilton. grace and her two friends that went with us were great to put up with me babbling for an hour. from there we hit a beach, the old navy yard, st georges, snuck in a wreck dive and ate LOTS! Poor grace the morning we arrived in bermuda I was up at five and on the foredeck looking for gibbs light- made her go with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
