To put a spike on a helmet?
I'm doing pseudo-WWI propaganda on a tote bag, this will be for sale.
So far it says "Your Empire Needs You! ENLIST NOW!" Which I got from British posters of the time, and considering we all know the outcome, I'm wondering if the more conservative populace of the nation will be just a tad offended if I doodle in an Iron Cross and helmet spike.
I mean, it's not like I wrote the whole thing in German, right?
No. WWI German stuff doesn't have the same level of evil associated with it that WWII does. Hitler was an evil man, but Kaiser Wilhelm was only trying to have a good time.
While I agree, please remember to take into consideration that most of the dumb fucking monkeys out there can no longer tell the difference between WWI and WWII, and might very well call the Red Baron a Nazi.

Solution: Headbutt with helmet, clean up one more stain on the bottom of the gene pool.
This is an example of CORRECTHINKâ˘.

Why they passed me over for Pope in favor of the Nazi is totally beyond me.
I could fix all this shit.
If TGRR were pope I'd convert to Catholicism faster than you can say Friar Tuck.
The Helmet spike was a common feature from Napoleonic Wars onwards. It was popular across MANY more countries than Germany, so it should be fine.
I'd always endorse something Soviet - medal esque (Order of Lenin)

1. You gotta be married for a at least 5 years to be a priest.
2. Condoms are mandatory, unless you are trying to have a kid.
3. Having a 3rd kid gets you sent to hell. Period, stop, the end.
4. All that filthy boodle in the Vatican gets melted down and used to finance methods of halting desertification.
5. When finished, the Vatican, the churches, and the outfits will make the Amish look like 1970s pimps. Serious here. Granite and linen. NOTHING ELSE.
6. Saint Tripzip's day will be celebrated on July 4th. He chased the alligators out of Norway (Sound silly? Google Saint Patrick.)
7. The inquisition will be reinstated, to cleanse the temple of pedophiles.
8. Penance will consist of doing nice things for people.
9. Paul of Tarsus is out, Jesus is back in. All the Jesii.
10. John of Patmos will be moved to the "comedy" section of the bible. People will be told to enjoy their time here while treating everyone nicely, rather than obsessing over death.
Also, beer.
ETA: Rule #3 will have a grandfather clause.
Quote8. Penance will consist of doing nice things for people.
This is both the most awesome and most depressing of the rules, due to the implications.

Monkeys will be monkeys.
Also, it will encourage nice people to sin, and we need more of that.
I still think the SS uniform is hotter.

Suu in an SS uniform?
There go my nipples again.
As much as I agree on the SS uniform, that's a bad idea all together.
Unfortunately, a lot of people see anything German and see NAZI without thinking.
If anything, since I wrote Empire, I could always draw the spike and write somewhere, "By Order of His Imperial Majesty, Norton I of the United States of America."
I think Norton would have approved of the spikes.

I think he would have required them.
I have a feeling I'm going to want to keep this bag for myself... :fap:
Also, this artwork is amazing:

Once I get my own place again I should really start collecting impressive propaganda posters. I've always had a love for it.

Yeah, well, it's not like I did you a favor. If you go to heaven, you get to hang out with Jerry Falwell and Tammy Faye Bakker
forever.

I feel like I took care of a good deal of "sinning" last night.
For one thing, we're BOTH technically still married.

Shit yeah. How much, Suu? Keelin would KILL for that.
$20, but I need it for the convention this weekend. If you want to order one I'll make it MUCH nicer. I still need to put trim on this one, like the first sample I did:

I will order one. I have to jet right now, but I'll PM you tomorrow to talk turkey.

That's the last one for this run. I'm in LOVE with that stripey ribbon! Yes it's tied in a bow on the side.
When my housemate get's home I'll ask her if I can borrow her good digital camera to take better pictures of them now that they are all trimmed and glittery.
Keelin wants a copy of the Emperor Norton one.
Okay, when I get back from the convention I'll make it. And it'll be awesome.

PM me the ordering details. I'd like to place the order on or around a week from today, just include the lead time in the PM, so I'll know when it will arrive.
