Cheeky Actress Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 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.

BriarRose Kildare Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 The other day we took our son to the park. There is this big round tire that is filled with dirt for the kids to play in.....and what did Ii do....created a treasure map with a ships in the dirt for my son.....we played pirates for a long time....: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

Ransom Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 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! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Maggie Crowe Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 How about when your 2 yr old kids are already running around the house singing "A pirates life for me" Aye, it was a proud moment when my 5-year-old asked me to teach him a new song.

Red Cat Jenny Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 You consider that there are pirates to talk to and have fun with at almost any hour..

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If someone was looking for you...And they asked "If anyone has seen the Pyrate?" Would everyone know it was you ?...... 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.

capnwilliam Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 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! Capt.
