Jack Sparrow II

My best attempt at making a 17th-century sword; I think it turned out all right.
Quote: "Captain… Captain Jack Sparrow!"
Jet Lag
General
A jet airliner.
Jokers Wild

A representation of a joker playing card.

Star Trek
Star Trek: The Motion Picture, et al.

LA Dodgers
Sports
The logo of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Notes: For a diehard San Diego Padres fan, I did waaaayyyy too much work on this ship.
Ladybug
Arthropods
A ladybug.
Notes: I've always been fond of ladybugs.
Lightning Bone
Mister Bone
A lightning-fast BONE!
Locust I
Arthropoids
A… uh, mantis.
Notes: That's an old Space Ghost: Coast to Coast joke. Quote: "I am the Lone Locust of the Apocalypse!"
Longbow
General
It is a longbow and arrow.
Notes: Would come in handy in Sherwood Forest.
Magic Roast
General
A roast beast of some sort.
Notes: Given the context of the in-joke (great-grandma seemingly always having a roast in the fridge), I believe the name "Mystery Roast" would be more appropriate…
Master Sword
Video Games
Based on the sword from the classic Super Nintendo video game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Notes: The colors I used here reflect the graphics for the LTTP game guide on this site.
Me 109
Aircraft of WWII
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the most widely used fighter plane by Nazi Germany during World War II; others included the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and the Messerschmitt Me 262 (the first jet-engine aircraft).
Notes: When I do the color versions of the WWII aircraft, I'll be sure to go into a bit more detail; as they are, they look too much alike.
Metroid
Video Games
Energy-absorbing alien life-form, originally from planet SR388.
Notes: From the Metroid series of games by Nintendo.
Milkwuss
Mrnexrad
A carton of milk.
Notes: "Knudsen" was Mrnexrad's second persona, followed by "Milkman" (the original name of this ship) before he settled on "Milkwuss". Thus, most of the players at the time knew him as "Milky".
Mine!
Animals, Movies
It is a seagull.
Notes: Or, as they're known in Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo, "rats with wings" who stand around crying "Mine! Mine! Mine!".

MOFO
General
Does this really need a description? Didn't think so. ;)
Moneybags
General
A bag of money.
Monitor of Death
General
The Blue Screen of Death! AARRGGH!!
Notes: The added skull is actually the same as the one on "Folder of Doom" and "Insect Killer", just at an angle (which was hard to draw).
Monkey Wrench
General
A monkey wrench (the sort of tool you don't see much anymore).
Notes: It's for, you know, monkeying around. :P
Moo Cow
Animals
A cow. (My first attempt at an animal.)
Notes: Refers to a Lewis Black comedy routine about milk. Quoth Moo Cow: "Mooooooo… Damn It!"
Mrnexrad II
Mrnexrad
His original ship, spiffed up by me.
Notes: Based on a ship included with XPilot for Windows called "Vaagja".
Muffin
General
A muffin.
Notes: This ship came out of my failed attempt to teach my mother how to play the game. (The persona, appropriately, was "Muffin Girl".)
Muncher
Video Games
The title character in the Munchers series of educational games produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Corp. (MECC) for the Apple ][ computer in the mid-1980s.
Notes: As Apple ][ and //e computers were still abundant when I was in elementary school in the 1990s, during free time in the computer lab, nearly every kid wanted to play a Munchers game. (Given the choice, something like Number Munchers was lots more entertaining than The Oregon Trail.)
Mutant Bat II
Video Games
Inspired by the enemy bats in the classic DOS shooter Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom.
Notes: The original "Mutant Bat" was based on the ship in the game; it is now "Space Captain".
Naaaah!
Animals, Television
A goat.
Notes: Inspired by the Aflac Insurance commercial "There's Only One". Quote: "Hey boss, do we have Aflac?" "Nah… we have something else."

Oblivion
Arthropoids, Literature
Artist's impression of a Möbius strip—a plane with one edge.
Notes: This is not an accurate representation of a Möbius strip. As they are rather difficult to show in a two-dimensional image, I just did my best. (I will have a better design once I complete the graphic for this site's home page.) • I originally got the Möbius strip idea from the twisted-ring ter'angreal in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time books. • Oblivion, according to me, is the name of the space colony from which the Insectoids originate (which is why my hostname on XPilot in recent years has always been "Oblivion".
Omnitrix
Television
The symbol of the Omnitrix (and of the Plumbers) from the Ben 10 cartoon series.
Notes: The Omnitrix is a watch of alien origin, created by the Galvan named Azmuth, that allows its wearer to transform into 10 different alien forms. Sent to Earth for safe-keeping, it unexpectedly found its way into the hands of 10-year-old Ben Tennyson…
OR Gate
Technology
An OR logic gate; the Boolean form is A+B.
Notes: I tried making an X-OR (eXclusive-OR) gate, too, but didn't know how to do it with only 24 vertices. (Darn those limitations!)
