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.

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:
