Aye in the hospital I were!! It be nigh on 17 years now an' I remember it like it were yesterday...

A gruelling 5 hour voyage it were! I began the voyage by getting splashed by a great wave!!!!

(I'll let you figure out the details on yer own mates!)

Then I became seasick wretchedly seasick...

(Me doctor said I were in false labor and to drink a glass of wine. Being a pirate, I drank not only a glass, but an entire bottle of Mateuse because one glass didn't work and it freakin' hurt like hell. Then I topped it all off with a chocolate sundae from Baskin Robbins which did naught to ease the pain. Aye, woefully seasick I were!!)

Soon the current grew stronger n' stronger!! This was marked by so much shoutin' and swearin' from me, that the ship's surgeon told me to hush meself that enough were enough!

(true story mates, true story!!)

Finally, the voyage came to an end when I were greeted by a wee lil' pirate, who had apparently had a long voyage and drank too much rum.. for he promptly tinkled on the nurses the moment he arrived in port!!

:ph34r:

So there ye have it- Me story an' all it's many wonders.

As to where of it all , I made birth in San Jose CA at Good Samaritan Hospital. I make berth with the Royaliste in Sausalito an' me home port be in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Most people choose hospitals, but some prefer to use a midwife at home.

Sorry...couldn't help but play up the pun on the misspell.

To answer your actual question, I make berth along the Rio Grande in New Mexico. Sailing the desert seas...

LOL!!!! :ph34r:

But seriously now....*ahem* I be from California, born and raised here. Iff'n any of you have read the post about the recent earthquake you'll see I live in the city Escondido. Yup, the locals here have referred to it as Escondilwad or Escondildo. :ph34r: When the one theater on East Valley Parkway closed my cousin found it fitting to change the words in the marquee. Instead of it reading, "Thank you Escondido" he put Escondildo. It didn't matter to him, not like they could fire him-LOL!

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

West Point's musuem has a substantial artillery collection as well. :ph34r:

Nine months out o' the year (or thereabouts), I make me home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The other three months or so are in the general vicinity o' the Bay o' St. Francis. Sailin' on th' Royaliste, buildin' things, hangin' about bein' a miscreant... it's a good life. Where in NM are ye, Iron?
