Writer's Block: My Userpics
Jun. 18th, 2008 08:41 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
Jeez. I don't think I remember what my first LJ user icon was... Probably an image of a Monty Python Accountancy Pirate from The Crimson Permanent Assurance Company... yeah, it was. Don't have that one currently, will maybe go find it again on google.
I picked my current default user pic because it was the epitome of semiotic_pirate as well as being animated. I like it especially well compared to my other icons because I have special, exclusive permission from the artist who created it to use it here in this journal. Sparkly.
With my new job... I feel especially accountancy piratish:
Accountancy Shanty Lyrics
Artist: Monty Python
LEAD PIRATE:
Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium. Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
And balance the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
But manage the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up.
PIRATES:
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!
It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!
LEAD PIRATE:
Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
PIRATE:
Sail away!...
CHORUS:
Up, up, up...
LEAD PIRATE:
Fetch me another exotic salute. To port! Bring her port to shell out! And the medium guys shell out to port! Balance the books! Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen...
