ORIGINAL: WhoreMods I massacred a bowling green once. I used a spear and jackson shovel to dig it up. I wasn't welcome in the village pub for months, and the local Masons blackballed me over it as well. Not worth the trouble. Well, to be honest, some years ago, I got stuck escorting a load of material that was destined for the Savannah River Nuclear facility, and due to bad weather, and the lack of flexibility on the part of the Energy Department Transportation office, Me, 12 armed security personnel and a truck with Radioactive Material placards all over got stuck in Bowling Green Ky. Now, to be honest, there really isnt anything to do in that town, so why two Iraqis with terrorist connections were even there is beyond me. So for kicks, we would pull out a couple of Geiger counters and scan people that got too close to the truck, or walk through dining room with them clicking away on test mode. Now the kicker is that in a 53 foot trailer there were two boxes weighing about 200 pounds containing the isotope that is used in the xray machines to take pictures of pipe wields. The actual danger, even if the boxes broke open was minimal. But sometimes I wonder just how long it took that town to recover their sense of humor after we left. Oh, the reason we got stuck there, a 'snow storm' that dropped about 6 inches of snow total (predictions called for over a foot of snowfall) which, due to the predicted accumulation, put the move outside 'safe travel conditions.'
