In my constant pursuit of trying to establish why I would need or want such a thing, I have always coveted a hand-held crossbow.

Yes, I know that they are ‘too late’ to be used in the GAoP, but I WANT one.

I do not think they are legal where I live, but I have had the chance to use one several years ago. I was hooked after I heard the first “THWACK” of the arrow hit the target.

Now, I either have to change my character, change my time period to play in (which isn’t likely) or just give up on the shiny little toy. (SIGH)…

I'm driving to work the other day and outta the blue my brain comes up with the idea that invisibility would be the best superpower for a pirate..woah it just came outta nowhere :lol:

When you know the incredulous looks on the faces of your family/friends after you've told them you spent a thousand dollars to fly across the country, so you could play pirate for two days - won't stop you from doing it all over again the first chance you get! :lol:

Aye, it was a proud moment when my 5-year-old asked me to teach him a new song. I asked, 'which one?', and he said, 'more pirate songs, mommy' He already knows "Yo ho", "Drunken Sailor", and every Capt. Bogg and Salty song :lol:

We're working on 'Hoist the Colours' now ;)

If someone was looking for you...

And they asked "If anyone has seen the Pyrate?"

Would everyone know it was you ?...... B)

You consider that there are pirates to talk to and have fun with at almost any hour..

Plus you wonder if a certain dawn pirate is still such a early riser with the job change..

That would be a definate yes in my case. My nieghbors think I'm insane (it's not often you see someone going out to get the mail in boxer shorts and bucket boots), and every employee at my workplace and all of the MR residents there know who the Pirate Guy is. :D

When the plumber looks around your house and says, "What's with all the pirate stuff?"

Then you tell him, and he writes down the web address of the Pub, and leaves saying "Wow, that's so kewl. I LOVE pirate stuff!"

Mission accomplished! :lol:

No fair, Bess, no fair...

Like when the time comes to depart the office for field work and I tell my co-workers its "Time to cast off..." or I tell them to close the tailgate on the truck by saying “Secure that hatch…” I also use that term when telling them to save their work on the computer as in “secure your work and let’s shove off for lunch…”

I have yet to tell anyone to “avast” only because I’ve stopped myself.

I'm a civilian employee of the Department of the Navy. You'd fit right in at my office! We "secure" it at night: buildings have "decks" rather than floors! :lol:
