Mo' Twititude

Solomon the Angry Twit™ is at it yet again. Prepare to be amused.

Solomon: "I have often asked myself: why doesn't Odyssey work its sites? Now we can add to the question: why didn't or doesn't Odyssey want the Ocean Alert to work?"

Um, we hate to break it to you, Sir Twitsky, but Odyssey is out working. Like, right now. (Perhaps you missed the company's two recent arrests right in your backyard?) So, while you quaff Ripple by the gallon and dream of being a media darling (wink wink), the company is out actually doing something important in the field. While the TV cameras are rolling to boot.

Oh, by the way, and pay special attention since you once again didn't do your homework: the Alert is a search not a recovery vessel. And, while it's clear you and your minions (we see those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz) are trying to make a major controversy out of some online UK notices about the Alert, it's obvious the effort is falling on deaf ears (with the notable exception of one forgettable doofus).

As usual, History Hunters speak, massive yawns ensue.

Solomon: "Why would they let piles of 'treasure' - booty as the juvenile, drooling US media likes to call it - sit unattended on the sea bed?"

Trust us, you'll learn along with everyone else the next time Odyssey finds treasure. We suspect it will be sooner than you think. Nice slam of the U.S. again, by the way. We guess all those warm fuzzies you got from the Obama nomination have officially worn off? Or, is a certain someone missing his favorite American punching stooge, Twit Minor? (Where has he been?)

Solomon: "For the same good reason Odyssey ran off from the Mercedes site, last year. And don't go thinking that we don't know what that was, either. We know exactly why. And so does Spain. You figure it out."

Odyssey "ran off" from the Mercedes site? Now whatever do you mean? If the company "ran off" it was only because their vessels were full of gold and silver coins. And what should we not be thinking you don't know, fool? Of course, this is the standard history poseur tactic of suggesting that only they are in possession of super secret information. As if Spain, or any other intelligent person, would trust a bunch of amateur, conspiratorial-minded kook-jobs. Yeah, sure. (50 arrests anyone?) Nope, just some more of dat slimy innuendo.

It sure is interesting how often the history poseurs claim inside information and make predictions based on it. Shockingly!, Amazingly!, these events never seem to come to pass. But hell, why not? Where's the accountability? If no one is paying attention enough to care, what's the cost? Answer: absolutely nothing.

Solomon: "Now, I've gotta dash. I can hear the sirens coming."

Ah, now this, kiddies, is truly interesting. A little mental slip on the Angry Twit's part. Such "joking" lets us in on that Solomon has been calculating the potential consequences of his words against Odyssey and those associated with the Black Swan case (50 arrests anyone?). We think this confession, posed as humor (lamely), conveys real fear. Admit it, Solomon: When you wrote about sirens coming, a little pee came out, didn't it?

Good. More worry, less sleep, and urine-soaked pants means karma is indeed at work in the world, if not your little pea brain.
