Hi Blackfoot - I'm guessing the flight's around 3 hours, right? If yes, yah might want to bring a book with you, or magazines that will take your attention away a little from the flight. If they have an in flight movie, try that too, no matter what the flick is. I had 2 flights each way to my recent holiday desination, and brought a few books, my Ipod and made sure I was busy, as I'm not fond of flying, but deal when I must.

Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@

Yes, it is a good idea. Additionally with a slight buzz to calm my nerves. My issue is I am horribly claustophobic. Once that door shuts, I want to have a panic attack! I think the flight is about that. I will have a slight layover in Chicago. Leaving for the airport in about two hours.

No problem Miss Lady Snow. I feel fortunate to meet just one of my Brothers or Sisters of the Coast. If more decide to come, the more fortunate I have become.

No, but I do have a slang and euphemism dictionary that I can read for hours.

Now if there were an encyclopedia of piracy.....

Now if there were an encyclopedia of piracy.....

Actually, there's two books that are useful in this capacity.

The first is Rogozinski's Pirates! - An A-Z Encyclopedia which is actually an encyclopedia of terms, people and ideas associated with piracy

and

Gosse's The Pirates: A Who's Who which gives descriptions of various pirates mentioned throughout the literature - both fictional and factual, identifying them as being such.

Neither book is perfect. Rogozinski's tome tends to state things a bit too broadly and sometimes takes what I consider liberties in the facts to make a point. Gosse's book is not complete, but it's a fairly good representation.

On a related side note, I actually started a thread on another pirate site listing all the known pirates by name, sorted by nationality with users contributing. When I left there and came here, I drug my list over, but it never really took off here. It's in Captain Twill: Pirate Origins (Nationalities).

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

It has come to my attention that in an air terminal of this size, it's a very long walk to get a cup of tasty, albeit overpriced soup....

I feel like a nomad..

..........but at least I have soup
