Do I take my Jolly Roger to the new apartment?

I have a 3ftx6ft pirate flag hanging on my wall above my PC... Would it be in bad taste to translate this item to what's essentially going to end up being a loveshack of a bedroom, dominated by all kinds of girly things in which I'm only allowed to be because I'm her boyfriend? Maybe use it to stake out 6ft of wall space as my own so I can actually put my pants somewhere?

Or maybe this would belong in the living room, perhaps above the TV. If we can fit the TV in there with the pool table, that is. If it's physically possible to get the pool table up the damn stairs, it's going to take up the entire room. I mean, I'm already giving up my AMD and video-game posters, she's conceded to let me put up my Elitism Demotivator poster somewhere, but the Jolly Roger has not yet become an item of contention (primarily because I forgot it existed until I looked up from my monitor about 2 minutes ago)

Oh, and she's not letting me bring my IBM XT, or Tandy 1000TL 🙁

Hardly. When it comes to the important things (i.e. NOT how we're going to decorate our room in the apt) I'll stand my ground as neccessary. For example - my entire magazine/manual/book collection is coming. All my spare hardware is coming, my processor collection is coming.
 
The flag is bad taste, and the video game posters are stupid, but what the hell is wrong with old computers??????

Oh, and :beer: for owning a demotivator 🙂
 
If you want this and it doesn't put anybody in peril, go for it. You don't live by your girlfriend's rules.

Yes, but two other guys are going to be living with us as well, and I'm sure they'll be little bitches about my flaunting my manliness with an enormous banner. I mean, I beat them to the girl of their dreams because I'm the better man. They'll have to live with seeing that sign of my superiority every day of their lives. A skull and crossbones could be taken the wrong way and cause undue friction.

They actually wanted the girl, didn't get her, and now live with her and you? And you think you're the winner?
 
Raise the jolly roger and yell to your girlfriend, "Arrr, prepare to be borded!"

...just realized how that could be interpreted in a number of ways :Q

Heh, we're all friends. And she's not interested in them, they're too immature for her. Yes, we realize there are going to be rough spots, just like there have been in the past. I deal with challengers quickly and decisively - these two know better than to try and I trust them just enough to make this arrangement possible - and they know that the very SECOND I smell something iffy, they're back, living with their parents again.
 
You're living with a girl and two other dudes? Find a smaller place for the two of you. What's a matter with you?

Dude, she and I have a longstanding rivalry at pool. EVERY FVCKING GAME I can come SO RIDICULOUSLY CLOSE to beating her, and then she runs the table and I lose. I will NOT rest until I have beaten her at that god damned game.

Oh, the DRAMA :laugh:
 
So, I give it three months before we see a thread about how bad it is living with your girl and two other guys who just so happen to want her.

I'll just remove the little shits if needed - they aren't signing the damned lease and the two of us can afford the place by ourselves if needed.
