I think I posted the first FR thread on that. I need to find it.
I got so much enjoyment out of that.
There was something about it, the hubris of government at all levels, the “hold muh beer” aspect of it, the fact that they thought it would turn it into seagull sized whale nuggets that would be whisked away by flocks of ravenous sea birds.
Instead, it was huge, car-crushing chunks of rotten, stinking whale blubber raining down on spectators running for their lives, you could hear the shrieks of panic as they fled!
LOL, they were all laughing, hahahahahaha...until the bits of rotting whale began to mist over the top of them, the muted ah ah ah ah ahs as they smelled and felt it, then the large, putrid blobs raining into the low vegetation as they ran for their lives!
I often wondered how long it took them to remove the stench from their clothing!
I could easily visualize the meetings at the Public Works, a bunch of guys sitting around saying how do we get rid of this carcass, and one guy says “Why don’t we blow it up into little pieces? Then the birds can eat it! We got lots of dynamite, and it is going to have to be disposed of if we don’t use it!”
Everyone nods...this is interesting. “LET’S DO IT!”
This just hit every square millimeter of my funny bone, and still does...:)
