Re: US woman rescued at sea sues phone firm.

If you caught a gay republican stealing your CQR knockoff off the end of the polypropolene rode (suitably buoyed, of course) you put out at 567:1 scope Bahamian moor during the spring equinox in the Bikini Atoll lagoon, is it best to shoot them with a homemade speargun, an AR15, or a plastic flaregun modified to 12 gauge? Discuss...

It is unanswerable question, as You did not included information regarding ethnicity of said gay republican....

Re: US woman rescued at sea sues phone firm.

47, but 53 of those have absorbed too much fallout from the atom bomb tests (no, not the gasoline yacht engine, the uranium political thunderbird signal). It would have been worse, but some hippies got shipwrecked there and mistakenly mated with some escaped biowarfare test chimps, and the two-headed (flush, not holding tank, sadly) offspring have been busily uprooting the said mutated nut palms and selling them to cruisers for their cockpit gardens. They're pretty stunted but that at least clears the boom, and the bonus glow-in-the-dark feature is a boon for night passages. I won't mention what the weird coconut milk does to cruiser's passages day and night, it's awful.

All bananas disappeared. Salty is suspected by association...

do not and i retype "DO NOT" put regular 12 gauge shells in a plastic flare gun and fire it because it will explode in your hand. The old steel ones will handle the pressure but the new plastic ones will not.
