Sorry Vampy, but do we need a pirate thread on a tiki website? I'm sure there's a whole pirate network on the world wide web that people can check out if they want to see pirate stuff. It seems like there's already enough "Bilge" and "Beyond Tiki" stuff detracting from the core of tiki central and Polypop. |

Pirates rock! They're definitely a lot more relevant to tiki than a lot of the stuff in bilge and beyond, and even if they weren't, there's a lot of members on here who love the scurvey dogs! :D :D Me pirate tiki! |

If you should come upon the privateer Arrivederci on the high seas of SoCal, VampiressRN or any of you scurvy dogs of the TikiCentral crew are welcome to come aboard and share a ration of the ship's rum with her right good crew. Small fact the tiki carvers will dig, she is all wood. |

Grog was just sharing his serious side there which I do appreciate. But the squirrel pictures make me laugh everytime I see them and that one is a keeper Mai Tai!!! I gotta get my Pirates of the Caribbean DVDs fired up again in preparation of the release of At Worlds End. I don't go to the theater much any more but will for this movie....it has to be experienced on the big screen. I really need to watch Dead Mans Chest again and again cause I swear...I missed most of the movie cause I got all caught up in Davey Jones beard. I kept wondering if that was a mechanical thing or animation?It was totally insane. |

I would LOVE to see the third Pirates movie...but the gods seem to be against it. Mai Tai and I were set to see it at the El Capitan on Friday...but our Craigslist connection flaked out. And the El Capitan Pirates showings are sold out for THREE DAYS. So we thought, surely the Disney movie theatre in Downtown Disney will have 20 or more showings, since it is a Disney movie...zippo...they were sold out all day too. So, we'll see it when we get back to the Bay Area and things have died down a bit...hopefully. :) |

I saw that place when I was down in Southern Calif over the weekend. I was thinking that it might have replaced Medieval Times in Buena Park. But it's actually right next to Medieval times, less than one block, really close to Knott's Berry Farm. I think it used to be called Wild Bill's or something like that, basically the Wild West version of Medieval Times. The building still looked semi western styled, but repainted into something more nautical or pirate themed, whatever that may be. |

A friend of mine went there for dinner and was sorely dissapointed. He said it wasn't even cheesy-good. I was hoping it would at least have a campy feel to it, but he squashed all hopes for that. bummer!! IF you go, let us know becuase I'm still curious!
Ben! COOL!!! can't wait to see it!!!! |

Thanks for linking all the pirate threads Haole'akamai...there is some great information in all of those (I've surfed them before). :) Good luck with that digital camera Ben.....I still can't figure mine out. The funny thing is....they put pictures on the dials to make it easier to use....but I can't remember what the pictures stand for and can't frikken see em cause they are too small. I read an article once about how to be an expert with a digital camera and the bottom line was....you need to have your buttons all memorized so that you don't need to look at them, you should be able to move them to the right locations by touch memory. ARRRRRRGH!!! |

Neato--I just ran across this thread. The city I live in (or near--Charleston, SC) is rich in pirate history. There is a restaurant near here called 'Queene Anne's Revenge' , named after Blackbeard's ship. It's an 'arrrrrsome' place full of authentic pirate weapons, bottles, doubloons and other treasures, ship parts, etc. I think I've actually heard it called the largest pirvately owned collection of authentic pirate memorablia in the world, maybe? Here's a link to their website. There is a page that has a virtual tour of some of the place. There's alot to look at there and the virt-tour really doesn't do the place much justice..guess ya'll just need to come on down and visit fer ye selves. Being a graphic artist for several resortwear companies, I have to do some pirate graphics for t-shirts a good bit, especially after a new POC movie comes out. |

He WAS made for his part. This is just hearsay, but I heard said by a friend who is a Johnny Depp and Pirates fanatic that Johnny Depp originally patterned his Jack Sparrow look after Keith Richards. Makes sense when you think about it. When the script called for Jack's father to appear, it was only natural to call in the blueprint. |
