@BookishLookish: Honestly I don't understand why he still needs to conceal himself anymore. Isn't he pretty much out there..ie if someone was going to apprehend him, they could just do it at this point couldn't they? Does he really need to cover his face still?? It makes me wonder if there's something scary hidden under there.
@BookishLookish: You have a bottle of wine, sex, and when you wake up *BAM* your eyes have been replaced with Nicholas Cage's, and you have Will Smith's ears stitched to your head.
@overunderover: Dickchicken, Neckface, Earsnot, and I think I saw some straight-up Chickenjuice, too. NYC graffiti artists could be made into some truly foul matzoh ball soup. And maybe Ana Peru Ana would eat it?
I hope the pirates don't use Paypal. Otherwise, they could be in for some nasty refund requests on that ransom once the Ukrane has the tanker safely back.
Well, they're bringing back Bonnie and Clyde, the folk heroes of the other Depression. Everybody in hard times hates bankers and oil tycoons, but especially insurance. Boy, do they hate insurance.
I hope these pirates are inspiring kids around the world, and the world becomes a pirate-based economy and we become a piratocracy and we pay for things in dubloons
I'm sorry but when you take "a Ukrainian weapon-trafficking ship" you are the king of bad-ass men and your dick must drag on the ground behind you. These guys rule.
It takes balls to hijack a boat full of automatic weapons and tanks. One would think the crew of the Ukranian ship would have unpacked a few AK's when passing through pirate territory.
When are tankers going to arm themselves and start blowing these guys out of the water before they even get close to their tanker? Why don't the hire Blackwater or something? I just don't get it.
@blakeley: I would think that four laser-guided, bazooka-like guns and an on-board, eight-hour training class for the crew would take care of most problems. This couldn't cost more than $100k. Let's throw in a case (24) of AK-47s for good measure (add $5k).
Of course, maybe the pirates would just increase their numbers and/or fire power.
@blakeley: It's like the troubles we had when we were pickpocketed in Paris. The first problem you have is finding someone somewhere who thinks robbing tourists is bad.
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
