Arrrr-oha Dan,

It's nice to see some Hawaiian pirates around here. Your definitely our first. This is a very cool place, enjoy our humble abode. There are some truly fine people here.

I see the MelloElf signed up.  Being a shy woodland creature it may be hard to get him out in the open.    Everybody stand really still, no sudden movements. 

[anthrobabe]

you do realize that you are asking pirates to be still and quiet-right?

Ok just checking and making sure you aren't having another out of body experience in which you dream that you have been transported to some serene utopia in the middle of the Pacific ocean again,(or maybe South Dakota).

Hello MelloElf--- most elves are quite handsome beings so step out so we can be dazzled by your "gawgesness" , don't mind my stick or the notebook - I don't do anything with it/them , I just carry it/them about and such.

[ivor]

Oh!  See!  You scared him back into the forest.  *seesh* 

[anthrobabe]

Oh!  See!  You scared him back into the forest.  *seesh* 

sorry--- I'll just go and somewhere and be quite now.

[MelloElf]

Greetings, Good Folk!

I'm not as shy as my brethren, so there is no need to restrain yourselves on my account.  I must admit to being unprepared for such a swift calling out, however.  =D  The monks of the monastery sleep in rotation, I see... ever vigilant.

There be pirates, eh?  A colorful lot, indeed!  Interesting notions regarding property rights - alas, a topic for another thread, to be sure.

Pardon me while I lurk about & determine what, exactly, I've gotten myself into this time.

May you timbers never shiver!  (I hope that passes for polite in pirate circles!)

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Greeting MelloElf.

You are certainly welcome to lurk around as long as you wish. And please don't mind all the empty bottle around here, I've been trying to clean them up, but there are getting more and more as time goes by (I need a refreshing beer while cleaning)...

Anyway, welcome.........

[Griffin NoName]

It certainly does. Trubble be owr pirates wuldnt know perlite if it hit em in the peg leg.

Welcome MelloElf. Hope you enjoy tiptoeing round the place as some are asleep indeed.

[Alpaca]

You've gotten yourself into a lot more than you'd think!

Welcome!

[Sibling Chatty]

Hi MelloElf!

Most of us are reliably fairly well behaved, at least part of the time.

Usually.

OK, sometimes.

Beware of small cephalopods bearing gifts...
