Those are great pics! Next year I just might camp, if you all return. And keep up the shenanigans*.

* Yes, I said shenanigans. Sometimes these things happen.

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."

- Capt. Joshua Slocum

Aside from some of the glaring mistakes that still need to be corrected in our kits, you guys really need to learn to tie yer cravats.... snigger...

:lol::o Well done indeed, Rats! Have to ask - did the shot of Evil Peaches on the deck of the "Black Pearl" turn out?

The shot of Peaches and the Shark (Sounds like a kids book LOL), is priceless. Pete should use it as his Avatar or Signature.

Everyone looks smashing - mis-tied cravats or not. :o

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

Is this the end of Evil Peaches?

I think not. An evil twin is never really dead, right?

So right, Sjöröveren, 'tis true!

They will call you up and ask for money! :blink:

Cheeky...

Come now Captain, there are worst things than Evil Peaches and Rats nurturing your daughter’s ‘creative’ side, isn't there?

:D

Yeah you can terrify all the little kiddies... will always remember the look on that kid's face after all your questions asking him to tell you why he was a pirate and then you fire at him..."So you are a pyrate then! We'll we're pirate hunters, so now we're going to arrest you and hang you!" Made his day, I thought he was going to faint! It was perfect! :blink:

I second that, Will. Welcome to the Pub.

Rats, I'm told you have a few PW dance pictures that I should be "very afraid" of?

Should I be? <_<

Well, at least I don't look as insane as I did in the pictures from Addison.

Say, that is a fine coat on me, Rats. Did somebody make that?

(Can't thank you enough. But thanks again, anyway.)

Pauly caught a bullet

But it only hit his leg

Well it should have been a better shot

And got him in the head

They were all in love with dyin'

They were drinking from a fountain

That was pouring like an avalanche

Coming down the mountain

Butthole Surfers,

On the contrary! He politely asked, I said OK, but, really, I didn't think he'd drop me that deep! Let alone be able to get me back up again!

Truth be told, I had a FABULOUS time dancing with everyrum! ~ ah, that, is... everyone! :D

Did I mention I like dancing? ;) Not skilled, but VERY enthusiastic. ;)

Salut, William!! :lol: And let me not be rude by not acknowledging Gladys and her sweet strains of melodic delight. Has it not seemed an age since gourmet Chinese in subterra den? So wonderful to "see" you and welcome!!

Mssr Devareaux.

Time has been flying. Nothing I am doing now compares with the pleasure I had in the ship's company.

Any chance we will enjoy your company in Kenosha or Payneton in the beginning of August?

Being a smuggler, you will appreciate that one of the new songs I am learning focuses on illicit distillery.

A joy and privilege to see you again.

William

Your most and obliged humble servant,

Alas, I am quite sorry to report that another trip to fair Northern lands might be hard to negotiate so soon. And I assure, not for lack of desire to do such...But then again, if one were to aquire fruitful gain with a round of Piquet, or two....Perhaps it could happen.

And a tune that reckons tales of "spirit conjuring"? Do tell. I am most curious to the title. Is it of Irish origins? For there are many Irish Traditional songs that deal with such. Perhaps Hills of Connemara?

'Bastion, mon ami, vous serez manqué. You will be missed indeed.

There will be port in my home port, for I never leave home without it and this is my home to boot.

Payneton is still far from you, but we will raise glasses in your honor.

I am don't think I will make it to PIP, as I work like an indentured servant through the school year. Though it sounds as though everyone will be there.

Your most and obliged humble servant,

William Dezoma
