capnwilliam Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Never lose sight of the fact that we are having fun playing a role and studying history (or we should be); but real pirates do exist in the world today, they are not romantic, they have been the death of many an honest and hard-working seaman, and they aren't anything to be idealized, or imitated. CheeChee, I love yer Cthulhian avatar! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
CheChe Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 CheeChee, I love yer Cthulhian avatar! thank you! i am a big fan of glass art, and he is a supurb glass artist. my avatar is a photo from the Atlantis Hotel & Casino at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. a wonderful place Dale Cthulhian rocks. i don't think he is a pirate. Revolution!
Duchess Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 CheeChee, I love yer Cthulhian avatar! thank you! i am a big fan of glass art, and he is a supurb glass artist. my avatar is a photo from the Atlantis Hotel & Casino at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. a wonderful place Dale Cthulhian rocks. i don't think he is a pirate. I don't know if you can call Chihuly an artist. More a designer. He hasn't actually made any (or any part) of his sculptures in many years. He just designs them and his team of assistants blows, shapes and constructs. But we never hear about them.... The Duchess
Deacon Frye Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 And I thought we were talking elder gods here.
Cap'n Coyote Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Same here. "In his house in R'lyeh dead Cthulhu lies dreaming" Rumors of my death were right on the money.
CheChe Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 CheChe >tried< to make joke, but missed . should be talking real pirates but some artist have the dirty work done for them i gets news from his studio monthly . can't afford his work Dale's studio that is, not Cthulhu's ! let us speak of real piracy here Revolution!
capnwilliam Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Actually, CheChe, I WAS referring to the Lovecraftian deities. IS there really an artist named Cthulhy? Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
CheChe Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 i's don't know. maybe? was playing with name similarities this who CheChe talks about: Dale Chihuly's Website i's thinks he is a real artist looks like a pirate arrrr Revolution!
Capt Grey Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Government Contractors If'n ye be be mentioning them ye fergot ugly, lazy and disrespectful.... Well I guess that would be me, mateys. But I never did find any treasure in it after 15 years of hard, hard labor. Thar be no loot fer them whats makes the training videos and computer programs; only 14-hour days and 7-day workweeks at $12.50/hour. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

RyannMacGregor Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Well, since I am one...I can make that remark...though maybe not safely. Captain of The Morrighan.
Coastie04 Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 For real pirate stories, this site is updated weekly with world-wide reports. ICC Enjoy, Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
capnwilliam Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 Aye, Coastie, few realize that piracy remains a serious problem in the modern world. While we in the pyrate reenactor community have fun reliving the fanciful days of yore, we must never feel sympathetic to this real-life sea scum of today. Double canister at point blank range fer the likes of 'em, sez I! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Charlotte Doyle Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Yes . . . I have respect for the pirates of the Golden Age because I think a lot of them were trying only to break out of the life placed on them by being born into the wrong class or social standing -- their's was a different world. They were in a different society, a different time, and a lot of them probably turned pirate because they saw no other option for themselves if they wanted to experience any freedom or control over their lives. Modern pirates I have no use for! There's no honor in modern-day piracy (if there ever was any honor at all is, of course, debatable. I rather think there was). I am now "Captain Charlotte Savvy." Sorry for any confusion -- I'll only be making this user-name change this once! :)
John Maddox Roberts Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 The worst thing about modern pirates is they talk funny.
captweaver65 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 i's don't know. maybe? was playing with name similarities this who CheChe talks about:Dale Chihuly's Website i's thinks he is a real artist  looks like a pirate arrrr chihuly has paid his dues in the glass art industry and now his students follow his directions.he's earned the respect he gets-he has burns all over and lost an eye to boot. his other nautical connection is his habit of filling small boats full of his sculpture pieces. just don't stand under his sculptures in case of earthquakes Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.

capnwilliam Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Capt. Weaver, methinks ye sent this mesage to the wrong topic. Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
captweaver65 Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Capt. Weaver, methinks ye sent this mesage to the wrong topic. Capt. William I was responding to something cheche said on the first page of this thread :) Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. " Dr. Samuel Johnson Capt Weaver's Pirate Perversions
Grinnin' Mary Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 I agrees with Charlotte! The likes of our brethren centuries ago was the victims o' the werld, but they were a brave lot, and made their own wealth out of nothing but their strong hands and stout hearts. That were worth summat says I. :)
Captain Emerald Shaunassey Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Some were victims, true enough. Victims of birth, devastation of all sorts, etc. Others however, must have been the ancestors of today's Pirates & Corporate Raiders, Sir Frances Drake comes to mind off hand. I sympathize with those who were forced into piracy to make a life for themselves but, can not for Drake and his ilk.
