Bruce's NOLA experience (fall agora item 99)
| 
Jan 6 19:15 UTC 2006 |
This is a continuation of Item 99: Bruce's NOLA Experience. When last
we checked, Bruce was trapped down in the Bayou working 80+ hours weeks
for a seemingly corrupt outfit supposedly helping in the relief
effort.
So the tension mounts! Will they ever let Bruce use his gun? Will
Bruce make it back up to Michigan alive? Has Bruce in fact ended up in
some strange adventure out of the movie "Deliverance"
Inquiring minds WANNA know!

"Deliverance" takes place in Georgia. The premise of the movie is that
the protagonists are taking one last paddling trip through a valley that's
about to be flooded by the construction of a dam. That wouldn't make much
sense in Louisiana, where the land is too flat for that to make sense.
I'd say if Bruce has wound up in some sort of sinister movie-plot scenario
it'd be more about working for some sort of exploitive company.

Also in Deliverance they regularly talk about how the power from the new
dam will go to power the growing city of Atlanta. Even back then there
was some degree of interstate electricty transfer but it didn't go on
to nearly the scale it does today.
Just working for a lousy company isn't a movie; you need either an
aggressive self-promoter to turn it into a documentary (the new Wal-Mart
movie, or Roger & Me, or whatever) or you need to sue the company and
win and you need to be a somewhat hot woman with a foul mouth.

Wilford Brimley as the company security officer shows Bruce 8x10's of him with
that woman they set him up with at the TA truckstop just like in The Firm.

Re resp:3: I was surprised, when the big blackout hit the East, to read
that the power grid isn't as interconnected as I'd thought. I'd assumed
that pretty much the entire North American continent was interconnected.
It turns out that the western half of the U.S. isn't tied to the
Eastern half, and that Texas is an island unto itself.

maybe Bruce has been changed by hanging out with all the good people
down in the bayou. Maybe he has become a sensitive, caring liberal
and has decided to throw his gun away and dedicate his life to social
causes :)

Maybe Bruce latched onto some Cajun strange and is sitting in a gin house in
coveralls watching cockfights?

Tell your FEMA folks to keep an eye on the amount of RAM on their desktops.
1 out of 2 sticks of RAM have been coming up missing around the various
agencies. (Check Properties on "My Computer)
