William Brand Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 And I get another answering machine. Red-Handed Jill will have to wait.
Captain Jim Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I was just telling Jim Hawk(in)s this has to be one of the most bizarre threads I have seen on a forum... you zany pyrates you!!! Yes, I believe that the good Captain Brand may have stepped off the deep end of the quay. I guess you just have to watch those creative types. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Silkie McDonough Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Spoke to Siren. She is still not well but closer to getting the surgery. It was super to get to talk to her finally! William, this is a wonderful idea! All these people I keep putting off contacting. Siren Big Norm William Red Wake Callanish Gunner Mad Matt Blackfoot
Black Syren Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hmm I have talked to MerryDeath, and Lady Barbossa. *And Silkie and William called me!* How fun it was to finally hear the people you chatto all the time.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
William Brand Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 I just got off the phone with Siren, Captain of the Poseidon. We talked about the cold weather, a common theme in many of these three minute conversations. Siren said she wants to go to the Caribbean, but knowing her luck it would rain. She told me about her daughter coating the dog, A Mexican hairless breed, with Desitin Diaper creme. We went over the three minutes by a whole 50 seconds, but to be fair, we were discussing the Watch Dog as well, and we had a lot to say very fast. Meanwhile, Liam spread wet wipes all over my office. Captain Siren of the Poseidon. Check. Harry. Silkie Red Cat Jenny Dorian Lasseter Captain Siren of the Poseidon With messages left for Captain Jim, Blackjohn and Red-Handed Jill.
Silkie McDonough Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Just got off the phone with Patrick Hand. Talked about sewing, garb, PiP, messy offices, productivity, RPG's, the Pub and how great it was that William started this because we hadn't chatted since PiP. Patrick Hand Siren Big Norm William Red Wake Callanish Gunner Mad Matt Blackfoot I have Dorians number but I will wait until tomorrow to call ...he is at work. Wouldn't want him to get fired. :)
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Ya know William, when I started reading this thread it occurred to me that you were the only one here with my phone number and that I should expect a call. Cell phone was turned off - sorry!
Rogue Mermaid Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Scratch that last message I wrote! It's a slow day and the managing editor is letting us leave. I won't be at work to call!
William Brand Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 dorian just called me back. We talked about the Sarcos Robotics Company, Jeeps, Kids, co-workers and cell phones. Then Red-Handed jill called me back. I was on the phone only 30 seconds with her and Silkie called. Then my wife called. We had a conference call with four pirates in three different time zones. East Coast, Rockies, West Coast. We talked about everything. Red-Handed Jill. check. Maeve. check. Harry Silkie Red Cat Jenny Dorian Lasseter Siren, Captain of the Poseidon Red-Handed Jill Maeve

Let's see... sailing, parades, Joe-Joe's cookies, Altoids, Altoids sours, old jobs, burning out on old jobs, wacky working hours, bank hours, weapons classes, pirate groups, names, getting sick over the holidays, the very energetic Liam - did I miss anything?

blackjohn Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Blackjohn didn't answer either. Blast. You didn't sound as red as I expected... ps - anyone calls me during dinner, or when I'm trying to get the kids to sleep, or myself to sleep, well... I gotta blunderbuss... now during office hours... contact me at... what the hell is that number again...??? I'll have to check! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
William Brand Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Yes, the thread isn't designed to annoy anyone. Please avoid calling after or before a reasonable hour.
William Brand Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 Jim Hawkins. Check. We went from chat to phone and back again. Ain't technology grand? We talked about the recent dinner he attended near the University of Maryland at the 1700s tavern there. Jim is dogsitting a "squeaky" dog. We also spoke about Baconfest and this crazy Phone-a-Pirate thing. The list grows.
jim hawkins Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 What does one pirate say to another on the phone? Arrrrr you there? Do you have Prince Albert tied up and being tortured?

Christine Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I don't think anyone has my phone number Nor mine as well.
Quartermaster James Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 and this will be very hard for the deaf-mute pyrates..
Silkie McDonough Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 If no one has your name or phone number then you don't have to join in. This is meant to become better aquainted with the friends you have made here. If you don't want to join in then by all means, don't.
William Brand Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 Lady Seahawke, I honestly wish that I could say that it was just a coincidence that someone left you that message, but it might not be. In fact, it might very well be the reason he called you. I don't know. There are jerks in this world sophomoric enough to take something as simple and harmless as an idea and turn it into something ugly. There is no excuse for the person who called and left you that message. I would like to hope it wasn't because of this thread, but to be perfectly honest, I could never be sure. My apologies if I inadvertently gave someone the idea that they should be so rude to you. The thread was meant to convey an attitude of harmless fun. I had very simple and delightful conversations myself with everyone I spoke to. The conference call with Maeve, Silkie and Red-Handed Jill was a great deal of fun. I am enjoying the spontaneous introduction to so many of my pirate associates. Also, the thread is not meant to be mutually exclusive. I understand that their may be hearing impaired pirates on the Pub. There may be people who don't want to be called. If any of you wish to continue meeting your fellow pirates by phoning them to say hello, then please use utmost care and courtesy when calling. Thank you.
Rumba Rue Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Ye'll have a hard time findin' me, as the phone ain't in my name.
Dorian Lasseter Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Blast.... BlackJohn didn't answer his phone when I called... Well, he did say he doesn't answer it often...

Dorian Lasseter Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 AH ha... Mister Hawkins was easier to reach at home.... Found out his work number, I had the wrong extension! A nice chat about his coworker (BlackJohn is a morning person!), reenacting different time periods, Dog sitting, and more.... Well worth the (Ooops!) 8 minutes on the phone. Truly, D.
