#2 Another Zionist high-handed violation of Human Rights.

#3 "The ship Africa Star was on route from Mombasa in Kenya to Djibouti when pirates attacked as it sailed close to the Somali coast. Two boats approached the ship and opened fire but were driven off following a gun battle with Israel security guards. "

There might... just... be a lesson here.

#4 If it happens again, it would make me wonder if the Israelis are running a deliberate pirate hunting operation, using willing merchant vessels. It would be a great way to do a little power projection, with built-in deniability.

#5 They're called ק-Ships.

#6 Oh, Eric. I saw what you did, and you're buying the next round at the O Club. I'll have a club soda with lime -- I have a sponge cake to bake and matzah balls to mix up yet tonight, not to mention roasting a couple of eggs and chicken leg bones.

#7 TW,

Nu, you wouldn't want a nice eggcream instead?

#8 I don't know what those are, Eric. Besides, I really shouldn't be reading Rantburg when I have responsibilities.

#9 It's made from seltzer, a little bit of milk, and chocolate syrup, usually Fox's. Popular in NY delis for a long time.

#10 What, no eggs, Eric?

That's certainly misleading....

#11 It's an old puzzle: why don't egg creams have any egg? I don't know why not. But they don't.

#12 What a gyp. ;-p

I lived in Manhattan for several year after I got out of high school, but never tried one. I wasn't an adventurous eater then.

(Did like Orange Julius, though - but that's not very adventurous.)

#13 I'm sure it's delicious, Eric, but sounds like one of those things one must grow up with to appreciate, like tuna fish salad sandwiches. I grew up at the other end of the state. I'll stick with my club soda.
