No bomb

[ladyofastolat]

I drove past the former site of the bomb today. Nothing remains but a trench marked with fluttery ribbon; a soldier up to his waist in earth, wielding a very small spade; and one small flag.

Pellinor told me a small flag was a vital piece of emergency equipment. I scoffed.

EDIT: The flag is yellow. This is, perhaps, Significant.

Oh, the flame war. Bring up old memories, would you?! Now I'm seething with fury all over again. I was RIGHT - RIGHT, I tell you! And you lot all JUMPED on me and SHOUTED at me and were WRONG and HORRIBLE and STUPID, and I thought I'd got over it, but now you rake it all up again. I was right. I was. And everybody else was completely utterly wrong.

YOU'RE seething with fury???? YOU'RE the one who started all the bad feeling and shouting!!!!

(flails with barely - okay, not at all - restrained anger)

(Writes up scathing fuck you message and flounces off)

(Comes back for one last parting shot)

I was right and you were wrong, so NYAAAAAAAHH!!!

(flounces away again, shaking booty in provocative manner as I go)

*shrilly contends that I was right right right. The rightest you can possibly image rightness being.*

*vaguely cites various vaguely defined "clever people I know" who have all said that I was right*

*uses lots of CAPITALS to hide the fact that I don't actually have the faintest memory of what the flame war was about, or what position I was arguing back then, but that DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL because I was RIGHT.*

*points out the existence of the ljcomm efw (existential flame war), for all your flame war needs*

I didn't get to read the whole story of the bomb until it was already over and your post was mostly edits. :) I always enjoy a happy ending. Well, mostly always. Certainly in this case.
