Ahoy, shipmates! 2017 TLAP Fest & other piratical interests

Arr! It be almost that fair time o' year fer piratical hijinks an' all matters nautical an' naughty... Time ter set about pressgangin' yer crew an' settin' about th' paperwork ter be sure no-one c'n follow yer plans or steal yer loot!

Th' Aweful Buccanneer o' Hell's keepin' a low profile, as they say, in a pretty, sheltered nook around th' cove from some posh folk. Sea squalls o'ernight an' high seas; we're glad o' th' comfort o'good grog an' fine company cheese This morn has dawn' clear an' bright, stiff winds drivin' hangovers far from sleepy noggins....

Me an th' crew plan ter see our mates an' fellow pirates at th' celebrations on 19th inst. Until then, may fair winds keep ye all!

-Mad Red Tess,

Cap'n, The Aweful Buccaneer o'Hell



Ahoy Tess!

'Tis Cap'n Radiskull a hailin' ye from th' East coast of th' New World. Me and th' crew has been trapped in port due t' th' hurricane which finally looks t' be blowin' out t' sea, so's we'll soon be t' sailn' out when th' seas be calm.

'Tis yer indulgence I'll be beggn' fer missin' the last two years (or has it been three?). Pirates bein' what they be, I'm sure you'll understand how th' lads and me came to find ourselves the guests of th' Florida department of corrections after a slight misunderstanding with th' governor's missus and her daughters. 'Tis sure, be I that you can fill in th' missing information.

Lookin' forward t' th' day and t' droppin' m' anchor along side yer frigate.


Arrr, 'tis with annoyance an' misgivin' I'm replyin' - not because I'm writin' ter you, but because yet agin we're beset by squalls an' erratic winds. I fear we be sail in' circles, since this scurvy crew be too green ter Ken their stars an' charts ter handle weather. Arr, crivens, eh, mate, right?!

Might find me way terwards Sir Joshua Crutchpitt (Admiral) with the Jolly Rogerer an' rest up over fer a night or two...

- Mad Red Tess


Ahoy!An' a verry happy Day ter you, an' ter th' assorted Crew! Morning has dawned fair an' calm but I hold hopes fer a good sail t'day; th'sheets be flappin' in th' risin' breeze an' th' seahorses callin' us away promptly. Finery be damned! Salt air be me perfume, an' the sweat o'hard work liftin' th' ol'Buccaneer through th'seas as though Piseidon hisself were racin' us. Arrrrrr! Tis a merry life indeed!

-Mad Red Tess, Cap'n

Th' Aweful Buccaneer o'Hell


Avast! A merry tune indeed! Aha!

- Mad Red Tess, Cap'n


'Tis that embarrassin' t'admit I took this long ter figger out what t'thread title did mean. confused Arrrrrrrrgh.


Tis no matter: other battles an' preoccupations took priority question

They ran the whole of season one. Someone had posted on FB that day a question based on the last show you watched who would be coming to rescue you and I proudly responded that it would be a pirate from Black Sails! I've picked out my favorite, Captain Vane.


it's the eyes, isn't it??? cheese wink
