Let's see: The Italian Language, Opera and Rossini (I'm an Italophile), The Commonwealth of Virginia (I lived there for two years), Bridges (They connect us to otherwise unreachable places), Miles of Det-Cord, Shaped Charges, Blasting Caps, FIIIYAHHH and THUNDER!!! This Pyro is happy; though I wonder what the effect would have been if in place of an Italian Rossini, they would have used Appalachia's own Scruggs instead. BOQ Denizens http://www.thedonovan.com

I would have thought that Wagner would be more appropriate - something from Gotterdammerung, perhaps.

That first bridge looks like it was being built - I wonder why they blew it up.

[PS: found this one from Jerry Pournelle's site]

Two of my favorites:

1) Rossini's Overture to "L'italienne en Algerie" (The Italian Girl in Algeria);

2) Det cord + hand grenade daisy chains. ]]> 2009-03-09T17:45:04Z 2009-03-09T17:45:04Z
