On his little Island, Gold wasn’t a problem, but the health system was terrible. So he decided to work a dentist – which in fact is nearly the same as he did in first professional live: Torturing people and steal all their valuables…

Once when Captain Brickbeard was tired of plundering, He met up with the Governor and they signed a treaty and became friends. But after lots of fancy parties at the Governor’s Mansion, Brickbeard got tired of not doing any thing “fun”, so one day he set up a trail of candy (the Governor’s favorite food) into the forest. At the end of the trail, Brickbeard hid in a barrel, waiting to jump out and scare the governer once he got to the end of the candy trail.

There was a time, that the people called “The clash of the forces”, when pirates and soldiers fought a war, that seemed to be endless. But after everything was pillaged and plundered and burned and after ten thousands of people had lost their lives, the war came to an end, when the pirates suddenly disappeared.
Time passed by and the people tried to rebuilt their destroyed houses and harbors.
But the soldiers, not knowing what to do with all the weapons, soon began to be bored. Until someday one of them developed a new form of game.

PTVII: Tell me a story, Grandpa by Lorentzen

ptvii_small_tell_me_a_story_grandpa_lorentzen

The story:
After several years of hunting down pirates throughout the caribbean sea, the old Admiral has retired and he now enjoys his life with his wife.

Every saturday afternoon, the old Admiral’s grandson Willie comes to visit him. And every time, Willie asks: “Please tell me a story Grandpa” for Willie loves to hear those stories of swashbuckling fearsome pirates, courageous soldiers and dangerous sharks roaming the sea.

Little Willie does not know, however, what lies under his feet…
The old Amiral may have been a good and just Admiral, serving his majesty for many many years but he, did however, always steal a tiny bit of treasure from the pirates he defeated, and saved that treasure for his retirement. This is what lies beneath the wooden planks in the old Admiral’s living room, and he plans to give his beloved grandson what is left of that magnificent treasure, when he one day dies.

The attic that’s full of hay to keep the house warm, hides something… a treasure map which the old Admiral plans to use in a few years time, when Willie is old enough to join him on his beloved Caribbean Clipper. The old Admiral has kept his uniform, bicorn and sword in his attic as well. Apparantly he’s not ready to give up on his eventful past just yet.

LEGO® MUJI – bricks and paper

Friday, November 27th, 2009

The LEGO Group has teamed up with design-led Japanese retail company MUJI to offer a new product concept combining bricks and paper crafts.

BILLUND, DENMARK NOVEMBER 2009 – LEGO® MUJI explores new ways of being creative by combining the well-known LEGO brick with paper through the use of the new LEGO System paper puncher.

The product line brings together the worlds of The LEGO Group and MUJI in a unique and enriching new experience. There are 4 sets in the LEGO MUJI series, each with more than 100 LEGO bricks and an assortment of paper

The sets all have different themes, and include LEGO bricks, paper and inspirational materials. The themes are Christmas, fairytales, transparent bricks and paper as well as a more open-ended concept. In addition, the specialized LEGO System puncher and five different paper packages will also be made available.

The sets, which were pre-viewed at the Design Tide Exhibition in Tokyo in October, will be released for sale in Japan on 26 November. The launch will constitute a live test in the market with limited quantities available for sale across 40 MUJI stores and the MUJI online store.

With this exciting new LEGO category, the LEGO Group is exploring new ways of playing and engaging with the LEGO brick, as well as new ways of doing business outside the traditional toy industry and retail. This is done by stimulating entrepreneurial culture through collaborative business projects with internal and external entrepreneurs interested in basing their business on an open LEGO platform.

PTVII: Welcome to “The Crimson Curtains” by 74louloute

What does a pirate wants even more?

What does a pirate wants even more?

Having sailed a thousand seas, faced terrible storms, fought giant underwater monsters, survived the attacks of imperial soldiers, pirates need to recharge.
For this, the private salon “The Crimson curtains” welcomes them. Here, hidden from view, they just take care of themselves. The program: massage, pedicure, but also discreet and calm atmosphere.
This salon is obviously dedicated exclusively to pirates as evidenced by the mosaic desired by the hostess.
It said she was herself a pirate a few years ago before retiring from the underworld and set up her salon.
