... is just beginning on Spike ... Under Siege.


Jordan Tate: So who are you? Are you, you, like, some special forces guy or something?
Casey Ryback: Nah. I'm just a cook.
Jordan Tate: A cook?
Casey Ryback: [Whispering] Just a lowly, lowly cook.
Jordan Tate: Oh, my God, we're gonna die.

I believe the first set of boobs I saw in film. And I'm referring to the stripper in the cake not Segal's.

The ringleader of this band of misfits! Fatbeard must be stopped...

Somalian pirates we!
 
Not to be a buzzkill and be a little serious. But can someone explain this pirate thing to me, in terms I can actually understand? It's 2011, not 1811. There is really no way to stop this, if a bunch of countries band together and make it a priority?

My favorite line... after Jordan drops a terrorist with a well-placed shot to the back:

Casey Ryback: "Next thing I know, you'll be dating musicians."

From what I gather, they're pretty much like roaches. Millions of them and you can never find them.

And then after she watches him kill somebody.....

Jordan: You're no cook.
Casey: Yeah, well.....I also cook.

I had a bill collector after me once who could find every ****ing one of them. Guaranteed.
 
I don't think it's an issue of not finding them, but you can kill 10 and there are 30 standing in line to take their place.

I wish I was about 15 years younger and with no family. I'd like to start up a high seas security company along the lines Blackwater to man ships traveling through that area. Heck, I'm a Navy vet that was part of the shipboard security force, so I have experience and training that would transfer over I think.

Of course there's a way if we are serious about this, and by "we" I mean the collective group of countries that are most involved. If the Somali government had greeted the first band of pirates at the shore when they returned, lined them up and shot these no-good SOBs and then released the hostages, the attitude might be a whole lot different. As it is now, anyone with a kayak and an automatic weapon thinks they can paddle out onto the high seas and make millions.

The line I hated reading the most in this latest episode was that 13 pirates were detained. I wish they'd been left for the sharks.
 
... is to bring them to the U.S., and sentence them to watching every single Pittsburgh Pirate game from 1993 until the present.

There is no need for detention or a trial. If you show up alongside a ship in a small boat with weapons, your intention is clear. They should be summarily shot and thrown into the ocean. Be done with them.

That would be awesome: Professional Pirate Killer.

I'd believe you would pull a lot of tail that way.

Erika Eleniak. Hubba Hubba.

I love TLJ's line during the hostage negotiations: "I missed the 60s you sonofabitch. And I really believe if I'd been there to make my contribution, everything would've been OK."

There's no such thing as "the Somali government" and there hasn't been for a long time. That's the root of the problem.

I'm talking, like, boy band ass.
 
A security analyst from Britian was on TV last night and pointed out that the pirates are operating in waters "geographically larger than Western Europe." So preventing their activities with navies alone is futile. Their land bases would have to be occupied by military forces. Good luck with the diplomatic call for volunteers.

I was gonna suggest get Bob Nutting to infiltrate the group, they'll be irrelevant in no time.
