War Orphans Pirate Party St. Georges - 15 August, 2009



Arrrrrrgh! Well, blow me down if it aren't time again for WOPP. But this time, we'll be takin' her over! That's right, mateys; there'll be no PITY in this here Party. But there won't just be one of those so-called "movies" we'll be appreciatin' . No, if yer gonna do 'er, do 'er right, sez I. EVERY Pirate movie ever made. We've plumbed the depths of Davy Jones locker for the entire treasure trove of them.

In honor of the memory of Duchess Arielle, St. Georges is hosting a fundraiser. "The Stocks" will be in FULL use this day. For a mere pittance you can hurl insults, and sponges, at the poor unfortunate "victims", 2 Sponges for $1.00! Buy as many Sponges as you can afford, No Limit! Pirates, Rapscallions and other Miscreants will be locked in the stocks for the amusement of the Populace. Already FOUR known ne'er-do-wells await the stocks: Baron Lucien, Baron Takeda, Lord Brandon and Cap'n BlackJack Flint! Not surprised, are you? : ) If you would like to volunteer yourself to be a "victim" of the stocks OR have any questions, Please contact our Bailiff, Baroness Brig at: ldybrigh@embarqmail.com Please bring monies to donate and be prepared to have FUN!
