    Maybe we've just been a victim of persistent typos and these young Somali heroes are taken with core strengthening exercises.

    This sounds like another in a long line of groups (Colombia's FARC, etc.) that started out with a possibly good cause and just ended up making money by any means possible.

    From that movie poster, in big letters: "I'll eat the smoke from their cannons" sounds very homo-erotic. Not to be too gay they followed it up with "and steal the woman from the king", although in very small letters since the most important part is eating that delicious cannon smoke.

    They're probably living a more rewarding and fulfilling life than most of us.

    If they ever actually seize one of those vessels that are dumping nuclear waste and garbage, there will be no end to the glory they reap.

    It's hard to get mad at the Somali pirates, when you consider how thoroughly Somalia has been shat on by every other god-damn country with a boat.


    It's like, yeah, sure piracy and guns are bad news, but when I see them giving the English just a big nasty black eye, I can't help but feel a little proud for them.

    Cats and bacon are one thing (actually two things).


    But cats with bacon...now you're halfway to a great breakfast.

    It's time we found the right man to confront these pirates head-on.
    Someone who has information vegetable, animal, and mineral.
    Someone who knows the kings of England and can quote the fights historical.
    Somebody who is, truly, the very model of a modern major general.

    @Kid_Twist: I never got why Stanley was a modern major general rather than a modern admiral or a captain or some other rank involving a boat or ship.

    Well, some of the money does go to funding those destructive inter-clan civil wars... but no matter.


    On another note: "I'll eat the smoke of their cannon"?


    That's what she said.
