Well, nice try, though.
Since this is the Pit, I’ll go ahead and say it here instead of threadshitting in the Cafe Society thread: the “talk like a pirate” gag has really worn out its fucking welcome and when I hear someone talking like a pirate I want to shoot them in the face. Me mateys.
And the Somali accent is so hard to get right.
Yeah, it’s like seeing Christmas decorations up from August till February. If people would just observe Talk Like A Pirate Day in accordance with its hallowed tradition, then when September 19 rolled around we could enjoy pirate talk as an annual treat and it wouldn’t lose its freshness. But people who insist on being piratey all the year round spoil it for the rest of us. This is why we can’t have nice things.
(If this thread actually gets successfully derailed into a sustained Pitting of pirate talk, I’ll be really impressed.)
I hate pirates.
Especially if they’re from Pittsburgh.
Maybe we can make them fight Illinois Nazis.

Oddly, I have no beef with them.
Are there a lot of pirates in Jamaica? Or is the OP just a fuckwit?

I chuckled.
Arggggh Mateys!!
Hey now, do NOT drag me into this!
Regarding a comment the OP made in an earlier thread – yup, posting like a douchebag will certainly get you plenty of responses. This board has an unfortunate tendency to overfeed the trolls.

Gandhi’s death was wrong. This guy’s was poetic.
Where does Gandhi get into it?
And while all deaths are bad yada yada, I have to admit to a fair bit of schadenfreude whenever all the terrorism/extremism comes back to roost.
Assuming the story is even true, upon which I’d hesitate to bet my life.

Overfeeding trolls is a traditional way to deal with them:
Unfortunately the final step, getting the troll to embowel itself, isn’t transferable from myth to 'net.

Yeah, I don’t get this either, unless Gandhi is the only other dead brown person he can think of.
I think he’s linking them by protests; as in, Gandhi’s protests were non-violent; this Pakistani guy’s death was from a violent protest.
maybe?
But… Gandhi didn’t die during a protest. Or protest the US.

Sure. What I was specifically objecting to was the OP’s salivating over the idea that the American government might take to “adding some new poisonous chemical to all American flags so that anyone who burns a flag and breathes the fumes will die”, and calling such a policy “one of the truly most brilliant and most effective ways to strike back at America’s enemies”.
Clearly, this Pakistani protestor had a Chinese-made American flag, which is why it was poisonous.

But… Gandhi didn’t die during a protest. Or protest the US.
I may be misremembering, but wasn’t his whole life essentially a protest?
Nevermind…Makes perfect sense to me but I guess I’ve drifted off into Inigo-land again. Merry talk like a pirate day and all that.
Most of it, yes… but he was shot dead. He’s also kind of a terrible counter-example because he was shot for (purportedly) selling out India… to Pakistan.
