TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Ye' should have a message with me addressed inscribed upon it by now. I will be a-lettin' ye' know when yer package arrives -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Darkmalkin Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Darkmalkin, Michael wears a size 7-8 shirt... would the coat fit?!!! Should fit like a charm. I'll launder it up and send it out your way, hopefully this week yet. (It's red, so I want to wash it by itself, so as to avoid pink undies and t-shirts and things ) The Pyromaniac Pirate
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 I just recieved a box full of wonderful Seattle Seafair Pirates pins, eyepatches, tattoos and even plastic bloodshot eyeballs to wear!! (man-o-man can a seven year old kid have fun with those, eh?!!) But there was no note, and I'm not quite sure which pirate to thank for these treasures. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Capt Grey Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Hmmm, I've be doing appearances at San Diego Children's Hospital and a center for abused kids in my Star Wars togs and handing out loot, but it sounds like I should switch to pirates - that's some pretty neat gear that young man is getting. A fine sharing of the spoils. Were they able to save his fingers? Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Animal Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Claire, it was me that sent the Seafair pins and eyeball. Sorry I forgot about the note, did it at work and was in a rush. Glad you got them. Animal Buccaneer - Services to the highest bidder!!!
Darkmalkin Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Lil' cap'ns coat is on spin cycle right now. Has to be hang dried (how appropriate, arrr!) and if dry, I'll send it on ta ye in the morning. The kids' granny (now passed on) was a real artiste with a sewing machine. I'm sure she'd approve. The Pyromaniac Pirate
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Animal, Many thanks!! That was a fine bag o' loot!! Darkmalkin, Awesome... I can't wait to see it!! Captain Grey, Yes, definitely do a pirate visit! Bob and I were discussing organizing a hospital visit if possible here in CA, because the kids get SO excited to see pirates!! I've got a pirate history talk coming up for a group of homeless moms and kids that I do in costume and one for a public library also. Both kids and adults are really interested in pirate history and I've also done children's pirate story times at the library. Every time I get a great response!! Sadly no, the finger tips (to the first knuckle) were not able to be reattached. They were lost in a bike chain accident and I guess they were beyond being salvageable. But his mom says he's doing well, healing nicely and no infection. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Capt Grey Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Oh, poor kid. But they heal quickly and adapt even quicker. Thanks for the update, Claire (easy to remember name: it's my sister's). And thanks for the pirate presentation ideas. I have a lot of kids books about pirates and they're a great resource. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

That would be right fun, to see all of the booty that is going! Huh?? Huh??? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

BoneHunterLane Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I just found this thread - is it too late to add my best wishes? I'm in Oregon, too (about 3 hours South-East of the other Oregonians who posted... ) and would have contributed to the plunder if I'd have seen this thread earlier...??
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I will most definitely add your well wishes Bone Hunter! We have a list of pirates sending well wishes and ye' shall be on it! I think I should probably get the booty in the mail to the lad, as it's been a while already, but I shall put you on the well-wisher's list... anyone else? Last call, I'm printing and shipping tomorrow. (Tuesday) -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com

Bloody..I forgot 'bout this...coulda added a bit o' somethin' to it too, but it looks like the wee one'll be lootin' mighty well as it is... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle-
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Here it is!! Michael's treasure trove!!! Royaliste's certificate for a sale will be scorched around the edges to look properly aged, I will add a chain to Bess' POTC Aztec coin and we'll also have the list of well wishing pirates added. I should have it in the mail before Thursday. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
