Capt. Sterling Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I most certainly agree. "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... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Capt. Sterling Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 There are certainly plenty out there to base one on....

Silkie McDonough Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Best of luck with it. Does this mean you're not coming? I believe, William that the good Captain is referring to the ability to heard cats on KW time.
Mission Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Speaking of things not allowed, someone wouldn't put Becky up in her clothes inside the gibbet because it made her look female. I don't think that this was because of the people at the fort proper, however. What I wonder is what happened to Bucky. Bucky and Becky were made to be a pair and the whole thing would have made far more sense if both of them were up near each other. Twue wove... Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Odd, and such a shame after all the work ye put into the pair. Um is not Becky supposed to look female?

Odd, and such a shame after all the work ye put into the pair. Um is not Becky supposed to look female? Yes she is. Time and money... I am guessing someone was thinking along socio-political lines when they removed her garb. I don't see it as promoting a social viewpoint, but some people are exceptionally touchy about such things. It's funny, I made a dozen head props before I realized they were all male (because they're far easier to make for various reasons) and decided that was biased. So I created a female head prop. One of my friends got all exercised about her. Nary a peep on the other dozen, but that one was a big problem. Sheesh.

Capt. Sterling Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Interesting...I remember trying to ....em..converse with her,(T'was dark out and the being blind thing never helps)...ahem... and I came up behind her whilst she was sitting behind, I think it was Callenish's tent (we were still on the beach)...so I don't recall the condition of her dress, but could it have been used by a person? (Hard to tell from the photos) As if it were taken from Becky for someone in need to wear for some event other than Ft. Taylor?

Mission Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Conversing with Becky in the dark isn't so bad, it's when the lights get turned on and you get an eyeful of what...whom you're talking to! Michael made the dress - machine sewed because it was just for a skeleton - but that would have to be one skinnnnnnny person. Becky's waistline is probably size -10. Actually Deadeye told me he was told to take the dress off before putting her up. That must have been a right pain in the neck, too. Those stupid bolts are hard to work and there are a lot of them.

sutlerjon Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) You don't suppose Deadeye told you undress her simply because he likes lookin' at "Nekkid Skinny Chicks", do ya??? Remember Occam's (spelling is suspect here) Razor. Went and checked it .... spelling is correct whaddayaknow Edited April 28, 2012 by sutlerjon Self Promoter Jim Pirate Gear oldsutlerjohn.biz American Civil War oldsutlerjohn.net
Lily Alexander Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 We have some great things in the works for this year but are in need of a new tag line. Something relating to the Mayan end of the world. We'll take suggestions until June 30th. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Mission Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The Pirates of Fort Taylor at World's End? (Wait, that sounds familiar...)

Lily Alexander Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 lol. Any suggestion but that one. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 The Brigands are very pleased to anounce that we have just concluded negotiations, and we will be appearing at the Fort Taylor Pirate Invasion. Looking forward to seeing all our Southern bretheren and meetin new mates. Huzzah, indeed! Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
William Brand Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Huzzah! It will be pleasure to finally meet all of you. Â Â Â

We'll take suggestions until June 30th. Not a tag line, but I just realized how well the chocolate stone will fit in with the Mayan thing *G*
shaemus beaker Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 5 - Speaking of wounded, we really could use a second surgeon as a 'fort doctor' for the fallen soldiers and people of the crowd could be called upon to stand watch over the wounded. We might make 'stretchers'.i am willing to provide my talents as a ships surgeon,
Mission Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 You could also do a surgery. That's one I haven't been willing to tackle yet because I want to make it super-detailed. I'd be glad to assist you. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I.

shaemus beaker Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 most definitely mission we will work out the details i am fully on board
Lily Alexander Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 2012 is shaping up to be one heck of a great year for us. Along with Bawdy Be, Barnacle Bo, Greg Hudson, and the Brigands, the Bawdy Buccaneers will also be joining us this year. Huzzah !!! http://www.bawdybuccaneers.com/ If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Matty Bottles Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I'd love to go again, but drive down in a car and show off all the woodwork. I never realized until I flew to an event how much of my impression was supported by my period luggage. Alas, I can't leave my wife to wrangle a two and a half year old and an eight month old all by herself for a week. I mean, I could, but then I wouldn't need to bother coming home... "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum

Captain Jim Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 A question: How many of us lucky souls will be chosen, in total? In other words, what is the limit of Pyrates that Key West can handle? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
