Smuggling

LaZorra: One of the broadcast students is in the newsroom doing a standup. She's talking about a conference at which Border Patrol, ICE, and local law enforcement will be. One line goes, "They'll be discussing creative ways smugglers get drugs across the border."

LaZorra: "We'll keep you updated on the latest."

wintermute: That's a PSA I want to hear.

LaZorra: GOODY I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN HOW TO CREATIVELY SMUGGLE MY DRUGS

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: This is why I hate broadcast news. :-p

ThePhan: It's important to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques!

Sentynel: LaZ: They've found a couple of drug smuggling *submarines* in places.

LaZorra: Sent: That RULES.

LaZorra: Er, I mean...

* ThePhan thought that said "a couple of druggies smuggling submarines."

LaZorra: LOL LOL

Sentynel: Phan: "Duuude, I have a great idea. We can smuggle SUBMARINES."

LaZorra: I hope they didn't try to smuggle them in their pants.

radiant: Just so that you know, at least one border control official is watching this chatroom.

LaZorra: HAI GUYZ

wintermute: I think that is reserved for smuggling animals.

goldfishy: "Is that a submarine? Or are you just really pleased you didn't get caught by border control?"

LaZorra: goldie: LOL LOL, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

FBI has entered.

FBI: Dude, it's not just the border patrol.

FBI has left.

LaZorra: :-.

Sentynel: Well *that* killed the conversation.

Dave: The FBI tends to have that affect.

* ThePhan does not invite the FBI to lively conversation parties.

radiant: EFFECT

Dave: Your mom.

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: OK, the actual quote is that "Speakers from ICE, the Border Patrol, and the FBI will talk about angs, to trends, to creative ways smugglers are getting drugs into the country."

LaZorra: *gangs

LaZorra: Er.

LaZorra: I am missing part of that sentence.

LaZorra: *talk about everthing from gangs

LaZorra: *EVERYTHING

LaZorra: AUGH

Sentynel: LOL

wintermute: The thing about "everything" is that it includes cake recipes and next season's fashion tips.

ThePhan: The fashion tips might be part of the "trends" portion of this speech.

goldfishy: Well don't you want to know which brownie recipe is favoured among pot heads?

LaZorra: wm: Those are all very important topics in border security.

LaZorra: We wouldn't want next season's fashions to be replicated cheaply in Mexico.

FBI has entered.

* FBI talks about angs, cake recipes and next season's fashion tips.

FBI has left.

LaZorra: HAHAHA. Her tagline:

LaZorra: "This conference is also open to the general publiic interested in learning more."

Sentynel: The publiic, huh?

LaZorra: OH SHOT OP

Sentynel: Who wants to bet half the audience are smugglers looking for ideas?

LaZorra: Would be my guess.

Sentynel: Well, if any of them turn up in a submarine, you'll know for sure.

ThePhan: Maybe they'll smuggle a machine into the meeting, set it free, and then run away laughing. That could be kind of awesome.

ThePhan: Er, a submarine, not a "machine."

Sentynel: I was wondering what sort of machines.

Sentynel: I had visions of them being like "ha HA, we smuggled in A PRINTING PRESS!" and disappearing.

ThePhan: And the FBI are left in a room with no people but piles of random machinery.

LaZorra: Sent: LOL LOL

Sentynel: It's like a reverse Carmen Sandiego. Rather than stealing impractically large objects, you smuggle them in instead.

Sentynel: "Detective! Carmen Sandiego has stolen the Eiffel Tower, and Ogeidnas Nemrac has smuggled it into a conference in Arizona!"
