]]> Comment on piracy does not fund terrorism by John Chadwell http://www.dysnomia.us/2008/11/piracy-does-not-fund-terrorism/comment-page-1/#comment-16884 John Chadwell Sat, 10 Sep 2011 02:49:32 +0000 http://www.dysnomia.us/?p=371#comment-16884 It's been a few years since you wrote this post, but I'd just like to update you a bit. My book, "Hunt of the Sea Wolves" is now published and available on Amazon. And as for pirates and terrorists linking up, I still believe they do so when convenient. In the end, though, the book is a work of fiction. My main incentive for writing it was as a warning of the danger of LNG supertankers being hijacked with the risk of blowing up.

True story--I had a friend here in the Midwest who was going to be coming to NY with me . . . she said to me (BEFORE we left Michigan, thank God!) that she wanted to go to "Jew town", because she heard that there were good deals there. :-o I was able to discern that she was talking about 14th Street (go figure), and thankfully could also give her strict instructions to NOT. SAY. THAT. when she was in NYC. as in England?

Swindled? Conned? I don't know- it's never been in my vocabulary, so I usually say "ripped off". In addition to "jewed", the other word that usually gets mentioned with this is "welshed", as in welshing on a bet. Ripped off? Swindled? Conned?
