BREAKING - RV explodes in downtown Nashville. Huge, beastly, bulging man in a blue leisure suit sought for questioning. https://www.wkrn.com/news/large-explosion-in-downtown-nashville/
In an interesting twist, the vehicle announced its own imminent explosion. What self respecting terrorist does that? Does that make it more terrifying?
IRA had a system during The Troubles where they would call police or media (can't remember which...maybe either/or) to warn of a pending attack and give time for a (hopefully) quick evacuation that would minimize collateral damage. . They had code words that would authenticate the call.

The bomb has totally fucked up things here. My home internet went out about 10 AM and I haven’t been able to even use my phone to get online. I’m now able to access the net via my phone at basically dial-up speeds. The 911 system for a good chunk the state is out.
Having just heard the announcement (I watched the video on mute earlier today), I can say I am perceptibly more terrified than before. I think it’s because the quality of the voice was so much like “there is a call on the white courtesy phone…” That too!
I'm certain no one has ever told you this before, but YOU ARE NOT FUNNY. Take a couple of days off and go kill some deer, why dontcha?
He’s just yucking it up because he’s assuming it’s his side that did this. If it turns out that this was a left winger (and that might very well be the case), it’ll be serious business.
Which generally worked until the Omagh Bombing. In that case the driver got stuck in traffic and bailed. Bailed at what would become the evac site. 29 people died and a couple hundred others injured. The backlash basically ended all public support for the RIRA. @RickDeckard will know more and probably disprove everything I said.
Yes some people have told me I'm not funny, but most of those people are humorless prudes. Go figure!
it's just "gallows humor". As for your comment you assume incorrectly. I don't think any "side" would condone this craziness. I pretty much had my share of this in the sandbox and can gladly live without it. Side note fuck off and die for even accusing me thinking of this terrorism in political terms. Other wordforge members have made jokes about this and nobody said ONE FUCKING WORD about them. Double standard much? Fucking pathetic.
So you're a prune then? By chance, do you know the California Raisins? Can you, uh, pass on a message?
It’s your M.O. and not anyone else’s that I’ve noticed. Not accusing you of anything. Just pointing out what everybody who’s been paying attention already knows. Just sayin’.
