The Bilge Pumps - Past Landings: Oklahoma Renaissance Faire 2005

Muskogee, OK April 30 - May 22, 2005

There may not have been a stunt show at the Castle this year, but you can't stop the Bilge Pumps from knocking down the gates and spreading our piratey ooze all over the festival. Our 6th year at the Castle in Muskogee made for grand tales as we welcomed Aloysius back to the stage and even saw a return visit by Squeegy. At one point on the last weekend, you had 9 Bilge Pumps on stage at the same time. Now that's worth the price of admission!

With all the crap Blue took for his blue hair, he was forced to wear a 'do rag like Aunt Jemima.	Harvey and Blue show their usual enthusiasm for the morning meeting before the faire opens.	Aloysius tries to sneak off the stage so he can go sneak onto another stage.
Maroon stops Harvey just in a nick of time before he tells the audience what he does with pudding every night.	The Pumps shout for their lost lil' Galleon to get up the the stage to start the show.	John Crow and Galleon O'Galleon strip down to show how cheap and easy they are.
Our new mascot One-Eyed Willie gets caught in the stocks. That's no way to treat your willie.	Maroon and Squeegy can't seem to find the head, so they settle for the nearest Corspman and give him a urine sample.	When Blue had to disappear for the weekend, new guitarists were popping out of the woodwork.
Harvey finds himself a new hot blonde dude during "The Three Song".	Apparently, the dude was too much woman for our poor lil' Corpsman.	Now John Crow can show you a thing or two about humping... much to the dismay of Galleon's pants leg.
Aloysius never knows what's going to happen to his crotch when he sings Mrs McGrath.	Fanny the Flag Maker helps out during one of many sales pitches by Maroon.	The guys get a lesson in dancing and cuteness from Bailey... who's on her way to becoming a new Pirate Queen.
For all of you members of her fan club, iiiiittttssss Monkey!	Holy Crap! When the Maroon learn to read?	Must have had a Princess walk by... with her dress over her heard to elicit a salute from these two.
The pirates are taking over the world one show at a time! This time it's both Smee and Blogg onstage with the Bilge Pumps.	Aloysius must have had some separation anxiety by being away from Squeegy so long.	Phil plays one seriously dangerous game of limbo.
The pirates are lord over all they survey... 'course they're not really that high up, so they don't have much.	Harvey gets the whole tent up dancing to "Cape Cod Girls" during the pub sing.	Once E joined us the last day of the festival, we had a record 9 pirates onstage at once! Not to mention the longest version of "Donkey Riding" ever.
