It took me far longer than I care to admit to figure this image out. The meta-textuality of it is beguiling.

You are a graduate student superstar!!!!

a finalist eh?

i still think you should look into getting funding from the merchant marines (or their enemies). They are really into deviant sexuality in the 19th century.

But do the merchant marines really have the kind of cash lying around that you're going to need to study deviant 19th century sexuality in a big way? You wouldn't want to try to do this on the cheap. Besides, isn't the merchant marine just a big scam anyway? Aren't they the ones that run those duty-free stores at airports and so on? I don't think any reputable scholar of deviant 19th century sexuality would want to be associated with those rapscallions. Just ask yourself: What would Kinsey do?

It's really true that sailors seem to be kinky, historically. And look at the Village People--isn't one of them a pirate? But the merchant marine? Aren't they the ones that spilled that Texaco oil all over the baby seals?
