Fox Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Wooo, busy day again, apologies if I miss anyone's good points. The statue of Duguay-Trouin looks very late 18th or 19th century. The picture Das posted of him DEFINITELY looks 19thC Petee, nice pictures! How many pictures did you have to trawl through to find them? How many of them are strictly period? And how many of them show seamen or pirates? Das, if a 60-70 year old guy turned up at a 1690s event in boots I wouldn't bat an eyelid. If he were pretending to be a pirate I might have my doubts! c. Revolutionary War...when we KICKED some British BUM! I'm not pouting. Until the war was over you WERE British. What I find embarrassing is that you had to have help from the French of all people! The Rev war (Colonial Scuffle) interests me. The only war in history to be fought over whether the milk should have gone in the harbour before the tea... *********************************************************** BOOTS, the bottom line (as I see it) If you want to prove that pirates of the first half of the 17thC sometimes wore bucket boots then fine, no argument from me. If you want to show that a small, statistically insignificant number of GAoP era pirates might have worn boots then fine, no argument from me. If you want to prove that boots might frequently have been found on the ends of pirates' legs then fine, but no amount of evidence of the existence of boots in a land-based society is really relevant (unless it really was an overwhelming amount - which it isn't). There's no argument about the fact that boots existed. Let's see some pics or records of long boots on sailors of the 1690-1730 period, not pics of boots on farmers in 1760. If you want to prove that boots were commonplace on pirates then fine, but Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

Fox Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Kass, I reckon Petee owes me a beer. If you buy me one when you come over then we're all quits. :) Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

kass Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I think you're trying to confound me with logic like you Brits always try to do... But I thought I was letting you spend the afternoon in my steamer trunk and you were buying ALL my drinks for the whole visit? Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

Pirate Petee Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Petee, nice pictures! How many pictures did you have to trawl through to find them? How many of them are strictly period? And how many of them show seamen or pirates? Oh man, you have know idea how long. I got more too. They are close to being in and or around period. Kass did have a good point. Two of them are period pics depicting and earlier period, I think. And yes I do owe you a couple beers for a couple reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kass Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hey Petee, you can buy me a beer and I'll make sure Foxe gets it when I see him in England next month! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaRed Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sure Kass, just ignore your celestial brother! It's ok! Hey Fort Mifflin is WICKED COOL. We went to the reenactment last year - very nicely done and the PA Navy group was impressive. Met a great chap there named Del who does a sea chanty group out of NJ called the Sea Dogs. I sang with them awhile but had to move away before I could do some real gigs with them. Been to the PA faire tons of times...you'll have fun there Kass! They've recently added "Swashbucklers Grove"...the highlight of which is their own on-site brewery featuring pirate themed beer. It's a GOOD TIME! Granted there are tape-on boot-top falsies everywhere, and traveling bands of Middle-Earth mercenaries in black denim dusters with Kill Bill swords strapped to their backs, but last year I did see one amazing, 100% period correct buccaneer complete with a nice fusil, the apostles, GOOD sensible period shoes and everything!

kass Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Josh, I could never forsake you! You're the one who went and moved to warmer climes on us. I'm hoping we come up with an interesting enough event to tempt you Northward again. I haven't been to the PA Ren Faire in about 12 years, but I knew it well back then. Ren Faires are what they are. I love to see what people come up with. No worse than the Pirate Feast, really. And I can wear early 16th century German one day and late 17th century Pirate the next and who's gonna say anything? And I'll have my hounds with me. Yay period appropriate doggies!!! I know about the Brewery. You see, I know this brewer... Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

JoshuaRed Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If you wore that STELLAR green riding outfit fromlast year's Pirate Feast you'd no doubt show up even the queen at the Faire. What a scandal it would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kass Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Oh Josh... You must have been drunk! It was a stellar BROWN riding outfit... You know, it occurs to me that this "friendly debate" has ended up like every good friendly debate should: with the debators buying each other drinks in the Pub! More friendly debate!

The Doctor Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Kass, that's the way we always debate around here! The object is to get your opponent drunk enough that they start agreeing with your arguments. Shhh! I never told you that... :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
