In Response To: All's Well That... License & Registration, Please? ([AMS] GreyThor)
This is seriously unbelievable and awesome. I'm glad you were able to evade the ticket and have a wondrous adventure with Munky and friends. I think the officer got a call from his "superiors."
Dark Creepy Voice: Let them pass, they have the mark of the seven.
Officer: As you wish, Lord Red.
: F[KEEP IT CLEAN!]k.
: I still can't get through this in my head. All I know is that after we told
: him we were coming from Connecticut back to Georgia, and specifically that
: we were coming from a Halo event, this Trooper stopped asking questions
: about the situation and more about Halo. Furhman said that there was a
: glimmer in his eyes when we mentioned the word "Halo." The
: conversation was just too rich. And I cannot repay Furhman enough.
: "Where are you coming from?" -- Trooper
: "Connecticut. We visited family (lie) & friends at a Halo
: event." -- Us
: "Halo? The game?" -- Trooper
: "Yes." -- Furhman
: "Was it a tournament? Was it competitive or social?" -- Trooper
: "Social. Representatives from Bungie, the game's developer, also
: attended." -- Furhman
: (At this time the Trooper looked at all three of us again, and noticed the
: Bungie logo on the right sleeve of my hoodie I received from Bungie, and
: realized that this was a legit conversation)
: "Okay, one moment" -- Trooper (and he walks back to his unmarked
: cruiser)
: I knew that this Trooper could have rocked my world in the most un-fun way
: possible, although I have a valid driver's license, my insurance checks
: out, yet I couldn't find my damn registration (which I found, after I
: dropped Furhman off in Marietta, BTW!). So the Trooper comes back, and
: says: "Okay, don't speed, have a safe trip back home."
: I'm speechless. Bungie, because of the hoodie, I owe you for getting me out
: of a very uncomfortable situation. Hats off to you, I may name my dog
: Bungie.
: Fortunately, the rest of the trip was uneventful (if you don't count all
: three of us justifying if we should ram a Red Bull truck for more Red
: Bull), I got Munky back home to Dalton & Furhman back to Marietta, and
: finally myself to good ol' Wilmington Island, Savannah, Georgia! The trip
: home took something like 23 hours of dedicated driving and 1282 miles, and
: I pulled into my driveway at something like 8 PM Monday evening.
: So all in all, in four day's time, after 2215 miles on the road for 42 some
: odd hours, I achieved what I may very well consider a life goal: Attend an
: HBO Halo Lan.
: A few highlights of this Lan that makes this one of the most memorable
: weekends of 2011: - I've attended an HBO Lan (it only took me seven
: years!)
: - I met people that I've known online, through Halo, through frequenting this
: community's website, putting faces to the names that I hear in my 360's
: headset.
: - I've road trip past the Mason-Dixon Line!
: - Introduced Munky to Pretty Lights, the official music group of this epic
: road trip, which he also utilized in his AW Video he released today.
