I would so make myself a pirate flag if I could decide what to put on it. I love how varied they were. The Black Pearl's - or rather, Barbossa's, I suppose - seems to be Calico Jack's, while Jack Sparrow's is a variation (a variation that I approve of mightily) of Henry Every's. I feel kinda obliged to like Stede Bonnet's the best, since he's my favourite of the pirates I've read about, but dude; Captain Dulaien and John Quelch had nekkid peoples!

I suppose, since I'm going to be starting a pirate library with apiphile and all, it really ought to have books involved, but clearly the books must triumph. There will be no books with swords/spears through, or books on fire, nor anything in the vicinity that might cause harm to books. No swords crossed underneath, for fear the book should fall! Gasp! Daring fellow that I am I might just risk a book and a cup of tea on my flag, so long as it is clearly indicated that the tea is in no danger of spilling.

What about you?

What about a variant on the Stede Bonnet, then, with book-skull-tea over a bone?

Been thinking about pirate flags, too! I think mine would have to have a tiger's paw, claws extended, possibly tipped in red. I must draw this ...

A book and crossbones. Or tea and crossedbooks?

...that is possibly the best idea ever.

...Henry Every's skull looks like it's wearing earphones.
