Want RPG launcher, now!

There is a strange looking truck outside my apartment building. It is 2am. Its engine is running, loudly. I can smell the fumes inside my bedroom on the 3rd floor. There are yellow flashing lights. Blokes are feeding vast quantities of black pipe into a hole in the ground. Did I mention it was 2am?

Grump.

I have an excellent line of sight to it from my bedroom window. A rocket launcher would make the problem go very loud, briefly, then somewhat quieter.

Grr.

unless they are working on a gas line in which case it would go VERY VERY LOUD then extreemly quiet ... ;-P

I wonder what they are doing. Can you see which company is running it?

It's gone now, thankfully, so I can't look again. I think they were doing something with the sewers, we had a letter about it, but I was a bit shocked by the amount of noise and petrol fumes. Ugh.

Now I'm totally WIDE AWAKE, and not liking it.

I suspect it would keep crackling merrily for quite a while, actually. And stink to Heaven.

But think of the warm glow of satisfaction you'd have.

Not to mention the warm glow of burning truck.

Well, you are a rocket scientist...

My girlfriend tells a story of being at a party at a hotel with her parents when she was growing up in moscow - and at some point during the night a car alarm started going off. And kept going off, the owner never showing up to shut it off. Finally, there was a loud explosion and then silence, as apparently someone in the hotel tossed a grenade down onto the car to shut it up : )

I've heard that noise a couple of nights now, including last night. None of the nights could I be bothered to get out of bed to see what it was, though. I just lay there seething quietly.
