Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Weren't there a bunch of Mormon Pyrates on the Great Salt Lake that used to raid in Prarie schooners? (Sorry, couldn't keep that one in!) Appologies to my Mormon freinds, but they've already heard that lame joke from me before. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Weren't there a bunch of Mormon Pyrates on the Great Salt Lake that used to raid in Prarie schooners? Aye. They preyed on Spanish wagon trains and their grog was watered down a bit...having been only...water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Brand Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Evidently there is a 'Utah Pirate Festival'. Not much information about it, but this line gives me pause... "Start your pirate team to help make this event awesome!!" Pirate...team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Maybe there's a tug-of-war. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Well, you need a "team" to pull the prarie schooner around, so might as well use pyrates instead of horses or oxen. (OK, so I've been out in the sun waaaay too long again....) Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas. Hook Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ye could always hold a 'sack' race. Jas. Hook Actually, I'm reading a book on lost treasures in America... one chapter has the Mormons very interested in lost Spanish gold and silver. "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas. Hook "You can't direct the wind . . . but . . . you can adjust the sails."
