Can't beat a bit of merry pirating hehe. Plus of course the presence of the beautiful Johnny Depp is a great christmas present.

Here's a ship for you Captain, you'll need your sea legs to sail on her though. This is the Belem, 1896/1996, not sure where she sank though.

She's a beauty, Jenny Beth, thank you. I've actually had dreams like that . . . which is why I think I drowned at sea in another life. But it hasn't kept me away from ships - the sailing ones are my favorites.

[Kimberley]

Excellent decorating.

Love it.

Now, about that brig....

[CaptLex]

Now, about that brig....

Yes . . . ?

Absolutely, Sarah . . . a sailor with a small pinnace doesn't get much respect.

Nothing a few cabin boys with buckets can't take care of, right Capt'n?

Now steady that ship, or I'll spill my champagne.

[janedoe311]

I want some.

I am sure the kids would too. My 4 year old girl goes around with an eye patch and says ARRRGG I am a pirate.

She is a funny girl.


Personally I think pirates got a bad rap. Most were smugglers to avoid the high British taxes and eventually branched out. Just Robin Hoods in ships! Black beard excluded!

CaptLex,

Thought you might want to see what I've been doing to my bar. It is still in progress. I'd like to get some brass porthole mirrors to put behing the bar (after I panel the wall). The pirate's weapons and treasure map parchments will be framed and on the same wall. I'll make a display for the weapons I have and add any other authentic looking knick-knacks along the way, hopefully get a brass sextant, as well.

BTW, I loved Cutthroat Island as well, have it in my DVD collection.

(was getting nervous that someone may recognize my decor. Captlex, if you want the pics I can email them. let me know.)

Wow, Shannon, I love it! If I had that room, I'd be hanging out there all the time. Do you have a pirate flag to hang in there too? I'd love to get a porthole mirror too - and maybe a gun. Which reminds, me I still have to figure out where to hang my sword. It's great, thanks for the pics.

I have several flags 5 large (Jack Rackman, Pirate w/2 swords, jolly roger, prepare to be boarded, and surrender the booty) and 3 small (surrender the booty, pirate republic, and fish or cut bait).

I'm really just not sure what to do with them yet. I have a couple of ideas but I guess I'll just have to experiment a bit.

BTW, I don't know if you can see the black powder pistol replica that is sitting on the whiskey barrel (which I'm turning into a bar sink. the barrel, not the gun ) but I think it's kinda cool.

There was a street market vendor selling large pirate flags for a fiver a pop when I had a wander around town today... I thought of the Capt.

Oh, cool . . . those flags will add the right touch. It's funny, I have some of those pirate expressions in signs and even on some of my boxers. I especially like "prepare to be boarded" and "surrender the booty". I also have pirate mugs with the different jolly rogers in my bathroom (to hold Q-tips, cotton balls, etc.). My favorite is the Jack Rackham one (which is the best known one). I even have a small pirate chest with that one on it (for my own "treasure"). I did see the gun, that's what reminded me that I want to get one too. I just love the whole room. So, when can I come over? I'll bring my own rum.

Next time you're in California do not hesitate to let me know. If I find out you've been here and didn't come by "It'll be the plank for ye".

Well, I've always wanted to see California . . . now I have a good reason.

Don't forget that Disneyland has the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride. If that's not enough to get you out here I'll think of some more...
