By Your Command

Orders have come from another hemisphere to provide a story.  I think I can do that.  I ask you to bear with my grammar and spelling as it is not up to my usual brain skipping quality.

( Once upon a time, there was a place named Namu Island. )

What is the most important part of all this?  The Castle Bravo Test was the first in a series of eight detonations known as Operation Ivy.

That's right.  That's where the band's name came from.

Not That I'm Gloating Or Anything

I was the third person who got to see this, because I was hanging out with the health and safety tech who had responsibilities for this building.  On a whim, we decided to go check out this lab because he told me about the  brand new, bad ass, swiss army knife of complex scientific analytical microscope they had.

We just happened to walk in right after the researcher had found that.  Had I not paused politely outside of the clean room to play the butt trumpet, I would have seen it second.

There are days that it's not possible pay me enough to leave that place.  I love my job.

Everyone Wants Two Filthy Assistants

On the twelfth day of Christmas, funranium sent to me...

Twelve bandeneres drumming

Eleven zentigers piping

Ten mr_glass a-leaping

Nine trenchcoats dancing

Eight volcanoes a-milking

Seven polies a-trespassing

Six utilikilts a-bartending

Five la-a-a-asers

Four health physics

Three cryogenic beverages

Two filthy assistants

...and an apocrypha in a byzantine history.
