oderlesseye Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I just saw this article and thought I'd post it. article http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits. May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words: "My treasure to he who can understand."
Rumba Rue Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Interesting. But as I have said elsewhere, myself and several others were involved with pirate stuff long before POTC ever came out. In fact No Quarter Given was being published long before too. *Side note: I have known Christine and Michael for about 25 odd years. I met them originally when we were working S. Faire.
Ransom Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 A friend of mine sent this to me yesterday. I did think it ws strange they thought the pirate craze had hit in the mid 90s, when I know there were pirate groups way back in the early 80's, if not before. I was surprised to see that No Quarter Given is headquarted in Riverside, where I was born, and lived until I moved to Or, back in 1991. I've been to their web site, but I guess I just never noticed where they were based. Duh! I just wonder how many of the new "pirates" will be around after the last POTC movie is history? ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Cut-throat Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 Good question False Ransom. I for one couldn't care less if the "new pirates" stayed or shoved off. But it is nice to see piracy getting a bit more attention than it usually does. Even if it is from the plastic eyepatch and earring folks . Who knows, maybe some people that read the article might take an interest in No Quarter Given. There is no such thing as bad publicity, right ?.....Oh wait, I forgot about that whole Tom Cruise fiasco
oderlesseye Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 about that whole Tom Cruise fiasco Like is that "actors" carreer over yet ? http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.
