Rats Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah.... that was kinda creepy to even be part of that and then see the pics of what we did.... Historical? yes. But still very creepy and wrong! Now hanging Mad Dog or Matty Bottles... No prob! Kinda felt bad about stringing up 12 Pound Richard... But I got over it... To hear Kip say tha Sunday's battle was one of the best he had ever seen. Also during the artillery barrage, to see Mary Diamond, Mr. Cross and the Viceroy calmly strolling past the cannons as they fired. Not a cre in the world and enjoying the show.... Perfectly pompous! Even Mr. Cross with a tray was putting on airs! Perfect characters you guys! You couldn't have done better... especially while Brian and I were cowering under, er I mean guarding a cannon! seing the faces of tourists slowly go by...as 4 of us pyrates were trying to Hang MR.Cross in Mallory Square noone stopped...just slowed way down...kinda afraid to look... No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
Capt. Sterling Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 The six pound bronze cannon...omg....not sure I can get past that one.... *pause* *sigh* Alright... Dinner with Mission and Red Jessi and Michael. Cannon. The auction....which men were fighting over my shirt. Wait....I mean the shirt that I am going to make. Cannon. Taking Hamish into the ocean with Salty...despite the wipeout we had. He was a trooper. Cannon. Spending time with the snotties. Did I mention the big-arse cannon? I am sure there are more that I will think of later.... Cannon? Cannon? there was a gun there and I missed it???

Capt. Sterling Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Ah that delightful odor when one lifts the lid of one's sea chest only to find one's mourning coat still soaking wet from the squall... ugh... and for some strange reason one of my waistcoat's smells like a mistress of mine....**wrinkles nose** must be lus... I mean... love... "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...
