To continue that vein... YAY, the Caps forced a game 7, and it's tonight. Here's hoping they pull another one out of the bag. My playoff beard is just hitting its stride. ;)Bostondevil wrote:Shouldn't that be - Yes! Bruins force game 7!!!captmojo wrote:Damn! Bruins force game 7.
Go B's!
Since I live in PirateTown, I'd like to know how the ECU Pirates got their nickname.

Actually, in the early decades of English presence in South Carolina, pirates were rather important trading partners for some people. Pirates did wreak some havoc in the Carolinas---Blackbeard, for example, famously blockaded Charleston in 1718. He also kept a sizable estate in eastern NC, but he was actually quite well-liked in that area (in fact, he helped give the ECU Pirates their nickname...ask me about that some other time).Bostondevil wrote:
Hmmm, were pirates a problem?

For real? That's outstanding. Can you get me a t-shirt? Or better yet, a pint glass? I'll pay for it, plus a 25% handling fee.

No sign of wilson's ancestors there. AAARRRR!!
We'll be at HH the week before - June 21 - 28, at The Player's Club. Maybe this year we'll go see the nightly fireworks at Shelter Cove. And it is time to see/listen go Greg Russell again at Harbortown!Bostondevil wrote:I'm probably going to be in SC for the 4th of July, near Hilton Head Island. If I am, I'm planning to sign up for the Firecracker 5000 race. It's a 5K run at The Mall at Shelter Cove early in the morning on the 4th. Anybody want to join me? There are walkers, apparently plenty of them.
I am VERY serious about Libertalia. I'll see if I can dig up a photo of the Pirate Ship marker from downtown Antsiranana.wilson wrote:For real? That's outstanding. Can you get me a t-shirt?
