1. I like the rainbow better

[mzteris]

2. maybe a rainbow colored

jolly roger?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

4. Yeah, but

could the skull have on sunglasses and a hat or something? That whole death thing is such a downer.

[mzteris]

7. LOL - love the sunglasses idea

........ wish I knew how to photoshop.

3. How come?

5. Nah, too butch.

Besides, I was speaking with a Jew-turned-fundamentalist-Christian some months ago, and he said he really objected to the rainbow flag because it was "dirtying the gift that god gave to man after the flood as a symbol of his love".

So if it makes him and other fundies crazy, then I'm all for it.

9. We even had to fight to fly this flag!

In 1989, the rainbow flag received nationwide attention after John Stout successfully sued his landlords in West Hollywood, when they prohibited him from displaying the flag from his apartment balcony.

the Rainbow Flag reminds us that ours is a diverse community - composed of people with a variety of individual tastes of which we should all be proud.

6. Using the "jolly roger" would make it waaaaaay too easy ...

... for the fundies to resort to calling us childish playground names like "butt pirates." :eyes:

8. Jolly Roger...

that makes me laugh with the double meaning. Yeah a rainbow one with sunglasses or nice hair or something...

10. Sadly, they would tie it in with AIDS.

What is the message you are trying to convey with this symbolism?

[Guy Fawkes]

11. I just like pirates...

don't hurt me.

[bluedawg12]

13. In that case- let's get Johnny Depp

and work him in somehow- he was fantastic as Capt. Jack Sparrow!

aye, aye up she rises, aye aye up she rises, aye aye up she rises earlie in the morning...

what do you do with a drunken pirate...(repeat after me!)

LOL.

I like pirates and the open seas, mate.

[IntravenousDemilo]

14. Oh, yes, I look at Johnny Depp

and "aye aye, up she rises"...

[bluedawg12]

15. Boy did I play the straight man with that line and you

ran with it-LMAO!

Up she rises for Johnny Depp in the morning.

[IntravenousDemilo]

16. Tee-hee, that must have been hard for you to do...

if you're anything like me. Who wants to be a straight man? Gay is much more fun.

[cwydro]
