And here I thought you were going to be doing a jig on the tables, one hand on a hip and the other holding a tray of grog above your head.

So no one told the 2nd cabin boy about this eh? :heehee:
Well I'll be there! :D

Wishful thinking? :heehee:
How rude!!!
Hey erickayrich I looove your hair in that pic.
p.s.... can't find an outfit, so you'll have to accept me in my ragged cabin boy clothes I'm afraid!
Evert that pic is great!
HAHA!! I didn't know which cabin boy to which you referred (I thought maybe Evert though for some reason)... I just meant that you were being a saucy wench! (No change there then :p )
Whenever someone says something a tad risqué, my friends and I always go "how rrrruude" in a posh voice you see, haha!
Found this about cabin boys, with this er "lovely" picture:
Trust me to be the small camp-looking one!
(Obviously I'm cooler that this though being as I'm a pirate cabin boy lol. This was how cabin boys looked in Nelson's navy apparently :hmmm:)... And now for this evening's special... "when good cabin boys turn bad...."
[Edit: funny you should offer to send your hair to me (lol), I was just thinking I bet that's fun to wear. Well I think you did well there, free awesome hair! Er... is it me, or did that all rhyme? Oops... Happy Gilmore anyone?]
Ship's boys were usually aged between 12 and 16 years. Some came from poor families, others who had been convicted of petty crimes or vagrancy were recommended by magistrates. They were at the bottom of the naval hierarchy and were tasked with such menial duties as cleaning the pigsties and hen coops.
(Whaddaya mean "shut up you geek, we're not interested?!" :eek:)
Yo Ho Ho and a barrel of Rum
I do declare, I have my dance card ready, should any of you dashing gentlemen wish to escort a lady to the dance floor:happy: and remember, one should be able to see light between us:p
Sarah R. :bunny:
Hmmmm. At this rate, it would appear as though the ship's crew will have more than they can handle leaving some of us ladies well, ummm unescorted? Oh well, in that case "To the cup!" Which could very well lead into a fight with rum balls....
Of course, Lisa and I will be happy to sit on the side and watch the festivities. These gowns are a tad fancy for such frivolities. Besides, if Lisa were to get hit in the back, well there is just no telling where that rum ball will end up....:D
:hugs:
Kimberley
Now how can it be a party with out me:D, I even found a dress to wear.
******************
Unmolested? Hmmmm. Not a thought that crossed my mind. With a ship full of drunken and overfed sailors who have been at sea for far too long with all the local girls invited on board for a party? Something is going to give.
I do believe the Capn will be entertaining in his own right then later in his quarters. Many of the girls are vying for his attention. He does cut such a dashing figure and has a certain persuasion about him.
The first mate will be focusing his attention on his love after all this time at sea.
The stores master could be anywhere (he's a sneaky one) and when he gets a belly like a keg, well anything could happen.
The crew has a definite party mode and the serving wench will be egging them on.
And the cabin boys know all the hiding places. A girl just cant be sure of anything.
Welcome Tina!!! Love the gown. The cook makes the best rum balls. Lisa and I plan to sample them until the party is well underway and we can,,, well exercise our feminine wiles on an unsuspecting sailor or two, or three, or four. We know they have gold and jewels in their sea chests. A girl can never have too much jewellery you know.
:hugs:
Kimberley
Can't a boy wonder? Hehe :daydreaming: :angel:
Uh oh....:eek:
I guess it will depend upon how much personal attention we get ;) and whether we are plied with gold. :D
We can certainly show off some necklaces that are bestowed upon us after enough rum has passed our lips.:heehee:
I think poc is flirting again. :love:
:hugs:
Kimberley
Hehehe Tina! Poc the man!
Kimberley... but of course I'm flirting :D Er... what kind of necklaces? :straightface:
Erickayrich... lol! Boy Wonder, yay!!
Ahh Kimberley, so ladylike ;) :love:
Hehe :heehee:
Yeah... unlike me.
Kimberley curtsies and smiles demurely at Poc. Makes a mental note to speak to the Captain about giving him greater status in the crew.
I see my carriage has arrived to take me off to meet with the other ladies in the village for tea where no doubt the discussions will revolve around the grande ball.
:hugs: to all. See everyone later. :happy:
Kimberley
See you later Kimberley! Hope to see you twirling around the dancefloor :happy:
Haha Lisa...!
You must know a bunch of guys a lot nicer than any I've ever known. Its been the rule since High School that if you pass out, you are fair game.
FYI, by popular aclaim, going to sleep with your shoes on is considered "passed out." For the heavy drinkers, party barefoot. And keep the magic markers away from your pals.
Great gown, Tina, and you're right, it's the perfect color to match your hair. Nice to see more ladies joining the party - so the boys don't have to fight it out.
So, Kieron is escorting Tina
Poc is flirting left and right
And I've got Kimberley on one arm and Sarah on the other
Who has the pleasure of showing Lisa a good time?
I know Ericka/Kay is such a social butterfly, she'll find her entertainment.
I know the boys are well-behaved, but I'm starting to wonder if the ladies will turn their heads and make them forget their manners.
Now . . . where's the first mate with that fiddle?
I thought Poc was gonna escort Lisa but it looks like she's got her work cut out if he does to stop his straying eyes
Oh, I don't mind arriving alone... I'm quite an independent spirit. The question should be who will I leave with?
