Aaaarrrggghhhh!

Pirates have made a comeback not only on the big screen, but in the real world as well. Two cargo ships were hi-jacked in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday. They weren’t hi-jacked by terrorists, but rather, by pirates. I’m sure these new-aged swashbucklers have replaced swords and cannons with machine guns and machetes, but that I bet they still where bandanas on their heads. Feel free to start using phrasing like “aaargghhh ye maties” and “walk the plank” at work. If people look at you funny, take their wallet and steal their wenches. That’ll show ‘em.

Next to make a comeback will be storming the castle. The bound-log battering ram will be replaced with a titanium rammer, but you can still ward off the assailants with scolding water as they break through the thresh hold. If you can’t find a castle, a really big lake house will suffice.
