Actually, if I was on the bomb squad, I'd be professionally paranoid about the placement of the Mooninites, because they were in many places that a serious terrorist would pick -- bridges, overpasses, public transportation, hospitals, and there were enough of them that it could be an organized effort.
Just because they looked harmless was no guarantee they would turn out to be mistakes -- there's such a thing as bombs not intended to hurt the general public, but to kill the police who respond to bomb sites, with a second, much bigger and more well-concealed bomb hidden nearby ready to go off just about when the police presence is at its maximum.
So when reports of more and more of these unknown devices started coming in, I don't blame Police HQ for pushing the Big Red Button and calling in the figurative Marines.
Of course, the political idiocy/persiflage afterwards just gives me the hives and makes my region look much stupider than it actually is, but there really was a good solid reason that it was as much as fuss at the time as it was.
At Harborplace, don't linger at the dinosaur display...a kid on Homicide caught a bullet there.
I'm just saying that leather pants don't really belong in a cubicle unless Angelus is slaughtering a hapless temp at Wolfram & Hart.
This is a sound policy.
Actually, I'm still not recovered from my first office that had casual day and a woman showed up in her sweats. A fully coordinated loud green and gold top and bottom velour kind of sweat suit. In an office.
Mind, I'm not a fashion plate at work, but I can do office-generic.
It's kind of funny seeing all the Boston people get huffy about "overreacting" to the Not-Bombs-Cartoons. Like their very urbane sophistication is at stake.
mocks Bostonians for hopeless rubes when they're not looking
I don't really get the analogy.
That's part of why I love it so much. Nutty's analogies are like that sometimes.
Boston's
idee fixe
that it's among the premiere cities of the world is one of its really charming quirks. We have a duty to show the other cities how class is
done.
Just don't pay any attention to the lint on our hem, K?

It's been a long time since I interviewed in the real world, but I gotta think that blood on my suit would not be good.
The most alarming thing about Harborplace these days are the tourists. That or the Hooters.
did lisah say my personal health choices are like that of a junkie? cause HEY!

I think it's got a better claim to Premiere World City than Atlanta which seemed especially fixated with that notion during its Olympics. At least Boston has Harvard and MIT. Okay, actually Cambridge has both of those. Boston has...Newberry Comics! And, uhm...a bank and an insurance company. History. Stuff. Sports! Unlike other cities!
