    Somali pirates attacked the freighter Maersk Alabama today. This time armed guards aboard ship repelled the attack with gunfire and one of these.

    Of course, you remember how it worked last time.

    The pirates were even more offended when, after the attack was thwarted, the Million Dollar Band played the Rammer Jammer cheer.

    For once, Alabama makes good use of its overwhelming amount of LARD.

    The pirates fled once this guy was let out of the cargo hold...

    They used that noise device on the protesters at the G20 in Pittsburgh recently.
    Didn't even have the thing turned up to halfway and, from what I was told, it was painful.
