No way!
I just watched the latest Alien movie.
You eat one of those and pretty soon some little alien with a head almost as big as Joy Behar’s head pops out of your chest.
Ate it once a week when I was a kid. And it was the good stuff.
The same one or another from 2015 that was reported?
Russians have near always had spy ships of both coasts..............
Our ships gotz balls!
Should we spy on their spy ship?
Hold muh beer! :-)
“all vessels approaching the United States,”

Maybe they just are trying to get better reception to watch the SEC Basketball Tournament
