Modern Feminism: From Susan B Anthony to Bea Arthur - Second Period - 09/19

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There was a man in the classroom today.

He certainly spoke like Deadpool; even moved like him too! The pirate-y hook on his hand should have been a dead give away that it actually was Deadpool, really.

"Good morning pirates and pirate wenches-- which I mean in the least insulting way as there is no good term for female pirates that I know of!" He bounced just a little. "Today is International Talk Like a Pirate day and in honor of that day, we will be deviating from the lesson plan to learn about female pirates." As an afterthought he added, "Arrrr!"

"Two of the most notable are Anne Bonney and Mary Read. Who, oddly enough, knew each other," Deadpool told them with a small grin. "Of all the gin joints of all the world, they happened upon each other. Only without the Cinemax after dark soft core kinda entertainment following said meeting." Which was a real shame. Would have made history so much more interesting. "Anne Bonney left her husband to go be a pirate with her lover, John 'Calico Jack' Rackham. Which just makes me think of whiskers on kittens when I hear that name. And brown paper packages tied up with string."

Deadpool sighed fondly. "Oh, Julie Andrews, is there anything you don't make better?"

"Anyway! Anne, with her new husband, went on to become a moderately successful pirate, only famous because she lacked the Y chromosome. Sad but true. Then a new sailor joined the crew, a woman disguised as a man. This would be Mary Read, who had been raised mostly as a boy from childhood so the whole cross-dressing thing was normal for her." Deadpool paused there to give Jude if he's there a suspicious look. "Becoming friends with this new pirate and promising to keep her secret, Anne soon found herself under suspicion of adultery by her new husband. Which, granted would be all kinds of sexy, was so very wrong, so he was let in on the secret."

"This Three's Company of piracy didn't last long though, as they were soon captured by the British Navy and set to hang for there crimes," Deadpool continued. "Anne and Mary mysteriously got pregnant before they could be sentenced and were allowed to wait for the children to be born before the hanging could happen. Such an angry judge. Anyway! Mary died in prison of a fever and Anne disappeared from record. Some say she's still haunting the Caribbean, looking for more female piiiiiarates!"

He waved dismissively. "No they don't, I just think that would be cool and very Scooby Doo if it was true. Enjoy the day of piracy!"

Turtle's eyes were narrowed and set to kill. Who was this strange man that was definitely not her Mister Deadpool, although his skills of imitation were second to none. If it weren't for her steady suspension of disbelief, he might have almost had her.

Jeff was happily drawing obscene images on his notes. He didn't know why there was an impending sense of dread poking at his subconscious. Nor did he care to find out.

Holy crap Mister Deadpool was a fox!

Yes, that would be Meg oogling during the lecture.

Anathema was alternating between admiring the new teacher and trying to figure out why someone would wear a silly costume to cover up that face.

During the lecture, Jo was paying very close attention...to the lecture, yes.

Re: Lecture

The new teacher still seemed a little on the crazy side. But he wasn't wearing a crazy red suit.

Also, he was really handsome. Not that this was at all important to Beauty. Nope, not a bit.

Jude had been looking decidedly dreamy until that whole suspicious look thing, at which point he slid down in his chair with a decidedly sheepish expression.

He was really, really trying not to think about how hot Deadpool was now. It was made slightly easier by that whole three-days-duct-taped-to-a-chair thing.

Katara wasn't staring so much as...staring at Deadpool. Yeah..he was pretty.

Re: Lecture

Zuko wasn't impressed, it was just a teacher and he was contemplating burning the eyepatches.

Faile hoped that this person stayed to teach. They still confused her, but at least he was nice to look at.

This teacher was seriously hot. But still insane. Rodney was a little disgusted with himself over the fact that he was ogling a crazy man.

Demyx blinked at Deadpool, wondering how to stick best work an X into Deadpool's name, so that his Nobody could at least be addressed properly.

Dawn was staring at "Deadpool." Yadda yadda cute, but also wondering how this happened and why it happened.

And maybe a little time spent trying to figure out how she'd look with a peg leg and an eyepatch.

Eyepatches!

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There was a small pile of eyepatches for the students should they feel the need to be a pirate too!

He won't even glue one to them!

Re: Eyepatches!

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack takes one, matey. He keeps switching it from eye to eye.

Re: Eyepatches!

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

If Turtle knew that this was going to be the class today, she would have brought her own eyepatch. Because she had one, as a true testament to her dedication to pirate radio. "Yar," she said as she fitted on one for today, "this no' be even bein' a problem fer a veteran like meself."

Re: Eyepatches!

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty had no desire to be a pirate. She didn't even like pirates. No self-respecting daughter of a shipping merchant would.

She definitely had no desire, therefore, to wear an eyepatch.

Re: Eyepatches!

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie may have looked around a bit before picking up an eyepatch, and trying to fit it to her eye. "Aye-aye. Arrrr."

Talk to the Teacher

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

YARRRR!

Re: Talk to the Teacher

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack strode up to the teacher. "Who be you, takin' over the class?" He was not threatening with a rubber knife.

OOC
