bradm Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 If you live in Ottawa, and were wondering what happened on the 417 this morning, read about it here.Highway 417 was snarled Monday morning after a driver called police and said he left his car on the Queensway, the city's main artery, with a bomb inside. The call has triggered one of the worst traffic messes in Ottawa in years as police closed the highway for at least the next two hours.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Highway Bomb Threat sounds like a good name for a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Highway Bomb Threat sounds like a good name for a band.Right up until you get to the border crossing, and the guard asks, "What's the name of your band?"And if, by some miracle, you get through that all right, imagine what happens when, a few years later, you get to the airport on the eve of the first big European tour...Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 It would work better as a hardcore punk or funk band name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Apparently the bomb squad took out a Subway sub.No word on whether it was oven-roasted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 someone didnt want to work this morning Rumour has it that a certain lead-guitarist from a certain Ottawa-based band did exactly that in the mid-'90s when he didn't want to show up at work where he was employed by a bank (or was it a Trust Company...)

Jaimoe Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 yo yeah I've wondered about that too...these folks look absolutely INSANE...schizophrenic zombies! Sad.Sounds like meth. It makes people violent and schizo, plus if you can get close enough, they should have scabs and red welts all over their arms and legs - where the bugs come out. I'm not kidding.
