Pirates in Africa!

[Horus]

Okay. This is a completely off topic thread, but has anybody heard about this? MODERN DAY PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently, some people in Africa decided to try and hijack a luxary cruise line with 150 passengers, all either American, European, and/ or Australian on board, 100 miles off the coast of Somalia. The ship escaped by diverting to full speed and changing course.
There's much more to it, but I don't know that much.

Running Wild and Maddox would be proud.

Actually, they used a sonic blaster thing. (I'm not making this up.) It was developed for use in controlling riots. It looks like a satellite dish. You aim it at your target and it blows them to their feet.

If they don't say "Arg", i would gladly take the time to fly to Africa to beat the shit out of them with my B.C. Rich Warlock. "Arg" id the ultimate Pirate statement.

EDIT: Yarrg instad of Arg

"Arg" is the ultimate Pirate statement.

Um, I'm sorry, but the vernacular is:

"'Arg', the ultimate pirate statement, be."



There are pirates in Asian, Indian, Arabian, Mediterranean, Gulf (that's US Gulf, people), and South American waters.
Wherever there are lots of boats moving something of value, there will be someone there to take advantage of them.

 

[Horus]

Ahh. Sorry. My Pirate's been a little off lately.

That's really fuuny, U.S. Gulf!! It's funny, because it's true!

maybe it WAS maddox???????

 

[Horus]

That would be funny, if Maddox did stuff just to have something to rant about on his webside.

 

[Anonymous]

Yeah, never have i seen such an opinionated person.

 

[Horus]

There aren't too many of them out there. But some of his opinions do piss me off.

 

[-Rivfader-]

These are imposter pirates.

 

[Horus]

Yeah. The don't say "Arg".

EDIT: Yarrg instard of Arg

 

[Anonymous]

Pirates don't say "arg", they say "yarr..." or "arr..."
Charlie Brown says "Arg"

 

[Horus]

What about "Yarrg"?

 

[Anonymous]

What about "Yarrg"?

"Yarrg" is acceptable.

 

[Horus]

Okay.

Given that it's satire, if you construe his opinions in a way that offends you, you've misunderstood what he has said. Unless of course you are saying that you get annoyed when people don't share your opinion on something...

Fact of the matter is that Pirates say whatever they like - they are Pirates!
