Pirates seize French cruise ship

[Fly320s]

If he's bait, I'm sure morale will improve.   

[Boomhauer]

So, Irwin is the political commissar?

[Bigjake]

Dude, the pirates are more than likely Islamic.  We use Irwin as a weapon and you'll have ShootinStudent in here whining about human rights violations so fast it will make yer head spin. ARRRG!

[LadySmith]

I wonder how a modern longboat would look like...ah well, as long as there is a dragons head mounted on the front of it .

All of you manly pirate-hunting men talking about buying a boat. Be hardcore! Build your own Viking-type ship...out of ice cream sticks.

insurance is good!  make it a profit center.  everyone on boat is insured with others as benificiaries

[280plus]

Hello, State Farm, uh, yea, I'm headed out to hunt pirates off the coast of Somalia and I'd like to get oh,,,~ $1,000,000 wioth if life insurance to be distributed amongst my crew mates. Can I get a quote on a premium for that? Hello? Helloooo??" 

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

Hello, State Farm, uh, yea, I'm headed out to hunt pirates deep sea salvage off the coast of Somalia India and I'd like to get oh,,,~ $1,000,000 worth if life insurance to be distributed amongst my crew mates. Can I get a quote on a premium for that? Hello? Helloooo??" 

fixed it for you

[280plus]

Ahhhh, I seeee....  Thanks for taking care of that for me! 

[Sergeant Bob]

I'm thinking we may just need some legal representation now and then. Maybe if El T isn't too busy we could invite him along, providing he promises not to steal all our women!

[Zardozimo Oprah Bannedalas]

I'm in. removed for secrecy 

SSSSHHH!

The same goes for you! Sssssssssh!

SSHHHHHSSHHSHSHSHHSHSSHHHHHH

Rule #1: We do not talk about *beep*!

I just want to see how many quote boxes we can accumulate.

Hey! This is the APS Pirate hunting thread, not the worlds longest quote box thread! OOPS! Looks like I just added to it!

sheesh.  see what you did....   Oops.  I did it too!

Did what? 

No... I can't understand what the hell a French cruise ship is doing off the coast of Somalia. You've got the entire Mediterranean to look at, why go to East Africa?

Be happy to join in on a summer punitive expedition. As long as there's high-speed internet on board. Who's the morale officer?

Irwin, of course.

Making super-long quote boxes is GAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Quoted for truth!

On another note, has anyone else noted that certain members of the forum rarely show up for these little forays of our? We'd be glad to have them along, after all, we may need some bait.
Arrrrrrr! we'll be needin' some wenches too!to pull up the anchor

Obviously your fault. 

Can we make Irwin the morale officer/bait?.....

If bait's hard to come by, invite Geraldo Rivera.

alright folks, the key to effective bait is something that draws your prey in. using something that will scare it off really just defeats the purpose.

Not to worry, that bastard betrays our position for a living    The bad guys will have no doubt as to our whereabouts.

[Bogie]

We'd WANT pirates to know where we are... We just don't want them to know about the artillery...

I was going to mention that there's a perfectly good battleship just a few miles up the road from 280Plus that's not being used for anything special at the moment, but on reflection I guess it might be a bit difficult to disguise a battlewagon to look like a cruise ship.

Maybe if we hang garlands of flowers from the big guns? And have a mariachi band playing on the loudspeakers?

[280plus]

Not a bad idea Hawk... 

or maybe Calypso...

Just tell 'em Obama got elected and we're there to talk to and hug our enemies.

[S. Williamson]

The only sort of hugging you can do with nuclear arms. 

Sorry, it's late... 

[280plus]

Well, I told Mrs 280 I was off to the Somalian coast to fight pirates and she said, "GO!", so I guess I'm all set. 

We haven't discussed the coming back part yet...

[Eleven Mike]

[BlueStarLizzard]
