 Thank you, I win. Belatedly, but still. (Yes, there is a reason for this. I am, in fact, off to a pirate-themed birthday party. Arrrrrr!) Cheers, Pirate M |

OK, M gets the prize for cutest goth pirate. Maybe you and Rocky should get together ... you guys could have a night of drunken pirate debauchery, etc. Just watch out what you do with those hooks, peg-legs, etc.  |

Thorn might still win for the best pirate talking, but Mary gets the award for complete dedication. I commend you, Ms. Blaney.

And there is nothing remotely goth about my pirate outfit!!! It's a completely standard run-of-the-mill girl-pirate outfit, acquired at Mr. Lincoln's Costume Shoppe in midtown Memphis. I added the blue wig because I will jump at any excuse whatsoever to wear a wig, even though I'm not really sure what is particularly pirate-esque about blue hair. However, if I simply can't help but radiate goth-ness, I suppose I can live with that  Cheers, M |

Did anyone tell the pirate-steering wheel joke yet? Haven't been following this board closely enough to be sure, but just in case -
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants.
The bartender asks him what's up with the steering wheel in his pants.
He responds: "Yarrrrr, it's drivin' me nuts!"
....ba da bum.
Yes, that was awful. I sincerely apologize.
Cheers,
M

You really needed an eye patch, Mary, or at least a hook hand. I just ordered this flintlock replica for my nephew for Xmas (he's 10). Also a bunch of doubloons and a treasure map. He's big into pirate stuff. Of course, I'll have to see if I can load some black powder into it and blow myself up (it's totally a non-firing fake).  |

I ordered some more pirate stuff at www.deadmentellnotales.com -- a great place to get all kinds of booty. Here is their order confirmation email. Now that's an order confirmation! Arrrr, mate, thanks fer the order! We'll ship yer booty right off on the next ebb tide. But first we'll toast to yer health with a bumper of grog an' wish ye fair weather with lots of heavily laden vessels to plunder. This here receipt does not reflect last minute changes, matey. Yer receipt shall be finalized when we pack up yer order. On occasion bilge rats make off with some of our loot, so our inventory may say we have something when we don't. In addition, prices and product descriptions are subject to change and 'tis not always possible for us to keep this here website up-to-date. And as both UPS and USPS charge more fer oversized boxes, orders in large packages might require an additional charge. But be assured, we do our bloody best to be fair and honest in all our dealin's with fellow pirates. Ye can bet yer last doubloon on that. Be sure ta visit ol' Billy Bones again when ye need a bit more treasure. Here be yer listing of cargo: ... |

AAAaaarrrggh!Here be some pictures of the booty I'm awarding t' that little scallywag of a 10-year-old nephew o' mine fer Christmas! The wee lad may need a leg-up to make a go of it on these high seas! I've been collecting this booty for some time for the little nipper! Thar be some genuine 18 karat gold-plated doubloons in these here spoils! And me old sax player (a crusty old sheephead to be sure), being an old rock hound, contributed a few semi-precious stones and gems! Thar be other gold tue! Aye, 'tis a king's ransom. And if the lad needs more, there be a treasure map for finding more booty! The lock on the pistol works fine; it even throws the frizzen fore when fired, as a good flintlock should! Avast, ye! This be the top o' the box. I burned the skull and double cutlass in with a wood-burning pen.  These be shots of the booty.     A treasure trove, to be sure!
