He "accidently" fell into a lifeboat.
Oh god, I was just reading about that. I swear, officers, I only accidentally abandoned ship and left dozens of people to die! And I totally meant to go back but it was all dark and stuff!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Have you read the transcripts? That's almost verbatim. Not kidding.
Cowardly piece of shit.

Because books.
Spain! My father not-so-secretly wants to ditch it all and move to Spain to live on the water, but my mom is like, "Uh, not so much." They did love it when my brother was stationed over there in Rota.
Cowardly piece of shit.
Seriously. How do you live with yourself? This is your JOB.

Somewhere near Madrid. I'm not sure if the sites are in Madrid proper. Of course, mostly just a lot of WORKING and not seeing anything, but hey.

The basis is that Scalia has no heart. Thomas has no brain, so he just signs off on whatever Scalia says.
That fails to capture the petty vindictiveness that is their hallmark.

Seemingly not. I remember a few years ago there was a cruise ship that was sinking and the entire crew took the lifeboats, leaving the passengers (or most of them) to fend for themselves. If I remember correctly, some of the ship's entertainers took charge and managed to keep people safe enough until they were rescued.

Zuisa! Don't go down with the ship! But, on the other hand, save lots of people!

That's funny, because I was about to say that the captain staying with the ship is like a stage manager being the last one out of the building (or the house manager in case of the audience). I have actually been working in 2 theatre's that had minor fires start during a performance-- both times I was head of wardrobe-- and there was no way I would leave before the dressing rooms were cleared and I reported this to the stage manager. So anyway, it actually doesn't surprise me that the entertainers took charge
