You don't need him, do you?
We need people like him to lighten up our domestic news. Can we have him? PLEEEASE?!

Well, I get the occasional chuckle...

CJ often has to decide between gay pride and pirates...

It's not as if they're mutually exclusive. The navy of the time was associated with "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash", I don't see why less respectable pirates would have any less buttsex.

True, but of course "gay pride" didn't really come about until the '60s or so. I don't many pirates painted their ships pink and sailed rainbow flags.

Modern-day pirates may be a different story, however.

I seem to recall hearing about a 'sodomy' legalisation movement in pre-Nazi Germany, and I think they wanted gay marriage too. But, yes, modern-style gay pride is extremely anachronistic for the time period one normally thinks about in regards to pirates. Of course, now I'm imagining the 'Black Pearl' in pink, with a rainbow Jolly Roger.

Then my work here is done...

We all love you, CJ. We just have an unusual way of showing it.

Re: I love America!

Wait are you guys calling me gay?

Just because I like techno...

Kallikak might have been, but do you really think I'd use it as an insult? I was, if not precisely serious, joking in a way that had nothing to do with insults.



I'd do the Pink Pearl as well, but getting dark bits of photos pale without losing all the shading and stuff is a bitch -- I tried to give Lal (Data's daughter from one ep of ST:TNG) pink hair because somebody in a thread at the LJ comm metaquotes noticed Lal and Steph had the same haircut, but it was just too dark to work right with the skills I had and time I was willing to spend. I ended up pasting Steph's hair over hers, which, because the joke is they have the same haircut, still works for me.

You did a good job. Do you have a higher resolution pic, or were you just making the avatar?

That's the best I had. Since Lal's hair isn't exactly the same as Steph's, and she's an obscure one-ep character, I needed a front-on shot (because 3/4 face and side-on show that her hair is a bit shorter at the front) with Data in it (to give her context). I couldn't find one, so I saved a fanvid from YouTube and screen-capped a shot that worked, even though that gave me a rather small starting pic.
