My name comes from the lines "'Hyaaack, hyyyaaaack, hyyyaaack, hyack, hyack, hyack, hyack! Hyack! Hyack this heavenly bodeeeeeeeeeeyyyy. Yyaack, yyyaaack, yack, yack, yack! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap!' goes Junkface" in Junkyard by The Birthday Party, one of my favourite songs. I'd been listening to said song moments before installing Sid Meir's Pirates, and when it came time to name my character I thought, "my, that sounds like a wondrous name for a pirate!" That feeling carried over to joining this forum. I also like the amount of meanings you can attribute to the word junk. The avatar is a detail from one of Goya's black paintings and seemed suitably hilariously grotesque and desperate. I like the contortion of the mouth.

Mr Dangerous Man, I salute your belief in Haddock. He's long been one of my idols.
