Great, Trisha, I'm glad to see LJS is catching up! I know there's no way he's going to catch up to Jack Sparrow with all the POTC hype, but he could at least come in a respectable second! (How could anybody prefer Captain Hook to Long John Silver? They've gotta be people who've never seen Treasure Island. And those other two choices were just ridiculous--Painty the Pirate Painting and Jean LaFoote from the Captain Crunch commercials? What the ...?!)

While the article is gone and the poll has ended :-(, LJS moved up to second place :-). (We need a "comedy/tragedy" icon! An' if I were cap'n o' Voy forums, we'd 'ave one, by thunder! Arr!)
