#1 Why not burn it before it hits the beach? Oh boy, bring out the marshmellows.

#2 Irish military aircraft flew over the area and saw the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, a Russian oil tanker, and a Russian oceangoing tug near the slick.

Nah, it couldn't have been them. I mean, they said so...

#3 Sure it wasn't a vodka slick?

#4 Impossible, ed.

If they'd spilled vodka, the Russkies would have all been in the water trying to drink it up.

#5 Burning it sounds good, but what's the weather like?
I reasonably smooth, yes burn it, rough and windy, no.
