Freaky!

I just finished reading The Pirates! In an Adventure with Communists on the streetcar this morning.

It was very funny, but it read disturbingly like someone copy-and-pasted my LJ interests and made a story out of them.

Any self-respecting pirate would have made Marx and Engels walk the plank pretty sharpish. Bakunin and Kropotkin, however, would make wonderful additions to any band of buccaneers.

Makhno, of course, was a pirate, despite an inconvenient lack of high seas in his vicinity. He even flew the Jolly Roger.

"Someone" has a livejournal. However, his lj-interests are nothing special compared to yours.

[sabotabby]

Oh, hee! I love the internet. Maybe I should friend him.

My brother gave me the whaling one as part of my Xmas present. I absolutely must get this one!

[sabotabby]

It's really funny. Twas a Chanukah present from zingerella, who for some reason saw it and thought of me.

Were there any cats in it?

[sabotabby]

...sort of. There are pretend kittens.

What about zombies and gays?

[sabotabby]

Zombies are mentioned. I'm pretty sure that every character in it is bi.

Is there any mention of AIDS?

[sabotabby]

It's set in, like, 1840.

[apperception.livejournal.com]

Martin Van Buren had AIDS.

[elgordochico.livejournal.com]

That may be true. He was a pioneer. Van Buren was sporting handsome sideburns long before there was a single hipster around. And does he get credit for it?

Oh Shit! She knows! ...

[sabotabby]

I'm gonna sue.

Here are some non-Zippy the Pinhead Bill Griffith strips. The New Yorker sent him out on assignment to do some comics reporting. On one assignment he went to Cuba to show the effects of the U.S. embargo and on another he interviewed Hunter S. Thompson. Enjoy.

[sabotabby]

Awesome, thanks. Those look fantastic.

I ran into someone wearing a Che Guevara shirt last night. After talking to her for a while, I got the distinct impression that she was wearing the shirt with full knowledge of Ernesto's significance. I talked to her about the not-quite-yet-implemented photo-the-Che-shirt-wearer-and-ask-what-the-wearer-knows-about-him project, and she thought that it sounded like a good idea to make it real.

You might want to look at her site (she's mandi).

If I could type a URL right, it might help.

[sabotabby]

Oooh, that does look cool (although they have serious content; Yay for Che! is terribly flippant).

If I ever decide to write fiction, I think I will pick 3 of your interests at random, and see what comes out of combining them.

[sabotabby]

I suggest "ann coulter deathwatch" as one of them. (Ann Coulter, incidentally, is mentioned in the book.)

[ironed_orchid]

Yes, I'll make sure I randomly pick "ann coulter deathwatch"...

Off topic: You have Marinetti mood icons?!?! That's that best thing ever!

[sabotabby]

I need to make more; the ones I did only cover basic moods. But making mood icons gets very boring very quickly.

[ironed_orchid]

Treat it not as a boring task, but as the opportunity to take more photos of Marinetti.
