Talk Like A Pirate Day - Friday, September 19th

*Jaw drops to the floor and the heart skips SEVERAL beats*

Serena scoops up jaw and offers spirits and smelling salts.

She is a lady, after all.

Okay, I'm a hootchie, but a nice hootchie.

Thank you, M'lady Nliedel.  This doth mean, howe'er, thou shalt find thine without escort from myself to Her Most Royal Majesty, as Matters of State doth bind me to the Southern Shire following this Decree from On High.

I shall indeed miss the opportunity to meet both old friends and new this year, and hope we can look forward to visitors in Fittlesworth this coming Spring, or, mayhaps, I shall endeavor to visit you all again next season.

Until then, Fairfax, I Challenge you to Conduct the Pavane, at Ludicrous Speed!

Whilst Fairfax looks to be in charge of the Pavane, it's really Mother Superior. I round that corner during nunsuch and she has a glint in her eye that truly puts the fear of God into me.

[TinGoliath]

In that case, let Mother Superior know that her puppet contains an inclination to a Speedy Pavane.

I will be there on Friday - taking my grandkids!   ARRRRR!

[Lord Virgil]

This sucks that I have to work today, I would much rather be harassaing Grandparents and their grandkids than here.  GRRRRRRR!!!

Last year, we were waiting outside the gate for the faire to open, and a little girl wouldn't let her grandma get a picture.  I walked up in my Pirate garb, drew my gun, and told her she was going to get shot one way or another, either by a camera or with my pistol, and it was here choice.  She promptly turned around and grandma got the picture, it was great fun!!

What a great day!  Weather was perfect and I really enjoyed this "School Days" day.  It's perfect day for leisurely strolling the vendor booths and talking (and making new friends) with them all. Not having the typical crush of people really made it a different type of atmosphere.  (However, I ended up spending waaaaaaaay too much $.)  Just a really nice day and the school kids really seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Hopefully these days will make a lasting impression on the kids and they'll become regulars when they get older, or even become artisans, performers and the like.
