UPDATE from Brando: The widening threat
Double Update: Clif has funny.
From plover, in comments:
A terrorist planning map was discovered today showing an extensive set of targets color coded by street. These targets apparently included railroad depots, electric and water stations, a jail, a police substation, a parking structure, hotels, and even residential homes.
It appears that some bombs were to be disguised or hidden in common objects such as a shoe and a hat. Other plans to plant bombs in a cannon and a vintage automobile may be clues as to possible locations for attacks. Tragically, it appears that some of the bombs may be intended to be carried by animals, including a horse and a small terrier.
A cache of unfamiliar paper tickets, shaped and numbered like some kind of money was found with the plans and may indicate that terror networks are developing their own currency system. Payments to the bombers appear to be quite complex, though it is clear that some kind of payment is triggered by an operation reaching the “Go” stage.
Investigators also found small cards which may help them trace how the attacks were to be funded: there are references to bank “errors” and corporate board elections. The cards which caused the most concern, however, are the ones labeled “Get out of jail free”, as these may be indications that our criminal justice system has been infiltrated or compromised in some way.
Police are currently looking for a recent beauty pageant runner-up for questioning.
Additionally, further analysis suggests the US Rail system will be targeted, or that some funds may be passed through transfers from an estate.
Deafening silence from LGF and others.
plover wins.
Milton Bradley would be proud
it’s just a dry run on Marvin Gardens. They’re going live with Park Place.
Why is it that you can always get Boardwalk but never Park Place?
LOL!
To plover!!!!
Bah. I’m still partial to the “anthrax” scare in which Tara Reid is found face-down in a ditch… Okay, but plover should get it. Grumble grumble…
Yeah, plover wins, even more impressive considering how much fresh-squeezed funny is in those comments.
I think the attack begins when someone lands on Free Parking. I always new it had a purpose.
I also know the difference between new and knew.
Clearly, you don’t.
Brando, I haven’t even had time to click over to your place yet to read. So, don’t take offense. You’re still in the running with me. You *no* you are!
Breaking News: The latest target: Target! I mean, please, all those megastores? What is it with their bulls eye logo? Doesn’t someone need to off those crazy Isaac Mizrahi sateen pants?
jesus christ. plover’s the funniest fucker EVER.
I heard they have some sort of money laundering operation operating in parking lots, and that Jan 1, Feb 2, Mar 3, April 4, May 5, and June 6 are very important dates.
I own the Water Works!
