I just finished reading Gordon Daviot's _The Privateer_, and I wanted to recommend it to the list. For a swashbuckling historical novel, it doesn't have all...
If you guys ever get tired of rehashing all the old glory days of past swashbuckling activities, just free your souls and join up with the Neo-Swashbucklers....
Proof that they still make 'em like they used to... Philip Pullman's 'The Tin Princess'. It owes something to Hope's 'Sophy of Kravonia', with a plot-line ...
Hello, I am a new member and am trying to read about the last fifty posts or so. Some of this is simply fascinating. I particularly enjoy the concept...
Dadaistme is obviously a visionary. He sees what many others do not; that the world is on the brink of entering into the next major swashbuckling era. Hear...
This group has nothing to do with the neoswashbucklers other than sharing some members and some interests. However, the goal of this group is simply to...
I do share your vision, my friend Tampico Jack. It is destiny that I have stumbled upon the Neo-Swashbucklers. What shall I do next? Should I take sailing...
I sense that Dadaistme has the potential to be a truly great swashbuckler and I hereby use my authority to bestow upon him the rank of Assistant Boatswain. He...
At the risk of assuming the mien of one of the Cardinal's Guards, might I ask that messages in the vein of the neo-swashbucklers such as this take place...
I am very puzzled by this exchange. Deeply puzzled. You could even say I am troubled. Very troubled. It seems to me that there is some undercurrent in this...
Should I just withdraw from the group? I do not want to cause any trouble. Apparently, I have caused Chris to become all stressed out. I did not mean to do...
Conrad, you are certainly welcome here, as is everyone. But I started this list not to gather a group of people who want to BE swashbucklers, but, well: ...
Relax, Dadaistme, just let it slide. You did nothing wrong. Sometimes you just have to sit on the dock and let your feet dangle in the water. There is nothing...
You're right Tampico. I ain't nothing but a swab. Thats probably all I'll ever be. Chris just broke my spirit. I really thought my life had turned around...
2/22/2003 12:41:42 AM, "Tampico...Tampico Jack <tampicojack2002@...>" ... Except that I am left with the lingering impression of having been unheard. I...
Please ignore Tampico Jack. In his natural state he has a big fat head, but when a new person comes along then his head gets even bigger. But now the the male...
I am very sorry if I have contributed in any way to causing Chris to have a troubled spirit. Sorry Chris. This message board is very interesting and I'm...
If Tampico Jack sees your post he will just be even madder at me. He has already demoted me to swab. Are you trying to get me to walk the plank or something? ...
Does anyone know when the new movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" is due for release? When I went to the movies yesterday there was a cool ad for it but no real...
... Was that the one with long panoramic views of the Caribbean? Very pretty, while telling us next to nothing about the film. Except, given the bit at the...
I also hear that Vincent Perez is starring in a remake of 'Fanfan la Tulipe' (1950s French 18C adventure, originally starring Gerard Philippe). Cheers, Doc M...
Robert, Just found your syllabus and noticed that in your Lesson Three you teach the Lateral parries, Counter parries, and Semi-circular parries. Wow ! Twelve...
Just saw the silent film Beloved Rogue on DVD. A beautifully done swashbuckler about a poet/rogue who has no relationship to the historical Francois Villon but...
... Interesting - didn't know this had been released on disc! Is it on general release or available only through specialists? There was a talkie version, 'If I...
Hmm, I remember reading about this film or If I Were King. Couldn't say which it was, of course. I too would be interested to hear more details about the DVD...
... which it was, of ... release. What ... I'm surprised I didn't mention this disc before. It is from the Killam Collection, who usually have nice enough...
I'ts a pity no studio has made an English-language film about the two real pirate women Anne Bonny and Mary Read who both served on the same pirate ship.One...
In a message dated 3/6/2003 11:01:47 AM Central Standard Time, ... Any details available? I also thought Mary Read's life story had great cinematic potential,...
Any books out on these swashbuckling gals? Jesse F. Knight ... From: matthew561@... To: swashbuckling@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:00...
