Merrydeath Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Born and raised in Dubuque Iowa, just a long spit from the Mississippi. While I havn't been on a big ship, I have been on a few boats. Got me feet and britches wet in it. I like Iowa, but I would like to see other places too. I found out driving in Chicago isn't as bad as I thought it would be..I may get to do that more. Somehow, Chicago is sounding better to me as a pirate kind of town. PIP in November is on my list of hopefuls. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.
