Ellen briefly popped up in the VM thread a couple weeks ago!
Hmm, I'm totally willing to get spoiled for VM for a chance to post with Ellen again.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Are rocket launchers part of the Pirate Code?
They are for the Dread Pirate Rambo.

The ones that attacked the cruise ship?
yep. I was getting ready for work this morning, CNN on in the bedroom, and heard the word "pirates". I was like, WTF? I was very amused, especially since they just outran them.

I'm a bit surprised there was a cruise ship in an area known for huge piracy problems.

See, I'm still surprised there's such a thing as "huge piracy problems". In my silly little sieve, pirates are the sort of people whose ships have sails, whose weapons are swords, "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" and the like. I mean, how long do you think the Dread Pirate Roberts would have been able to keep the identity scam in the internet age?

Piracy is a big problem, but it mostly guys with speedboats, RPGs, and machineguns who don't have parrots are aren't even gay. There should be a new word really.

Heh. I am dealing with exactly this issue in my WIP that is eternally IP. How late in the Industrial Age is it practical to masquerade as somebody else, given the existence of (say) photographs and telegraphs? Pre-modern communications you can show up in (say) Prussia and claim to be Duke of Plaza-Toro, and it takes months before anybody is sure you aren't, communications with Spain being what they are.
