    So, I live in the area where Mythbusters do a lot of their testing. They've used our Police Station's firing range and our power station several times, and I've met Adam once (at the Maker's Fair, he gave a speech on inspiration and did a dance to tesla coil made techno while in a steel cage with lightning shooting at him and dancing). Its generally been pretty cool living with them in the area, but...

    The next town over is a town called Dublin. Recently, as in today, a canon ball flew through a house, causing... lots of damage. Fortunately no one was hurt, but public media and authorities are pretty sure it was the Mythbusters. As am I, because... really. Who ELSE?!?

    So yeah. My town is probably more dangerous now. Not due to crime. But due to Adam and Jamie. I'm scared :ahh:

    Most cities have crime
    Most cities have gangs
    Yours has the Mythbusters xD

    Of course, if they find out it was them, wouldn't that mean they would have to find a new testing ground?

    I'm not sure. They don't just test in this area, but they do test a lot here- their headquarters is about an hour or two away. I think they've caused damages before. So long as they pay up they should be fine.

    I just won't be surprised if a cannonball ever flies into my house now.

    With the Mythbusters, one will never know. They could've probably been testing how fast does a cannon shoot thru a block of cheese for all we know

    You're so lucky.
    I met Tory once. He's a really really nice guy. Christian, too.

    Haha wow. I found some news articles on it too. That's awesome and scary at the same time! Apparently the cannonball bounced through the house and became lodged in a minivan parked outside.

    Oh, Mr. Walrus... Sometimes you have to think about what you do BEFORE you shoot a cannon!
    ...But you're still my favorite Walrus.
    ...I wonder if they know that a buncha bronies are talking about him...

    Yep. She's freaking out though, not from fright, but over how freakin AWESOME it is.

    If a Walrus blew a cannonball into my neighbor's house, I'd be freakin' out by how AWESOME it was too.
    I'd be super Jelly, and I wouldn't even think of sueing them or anything. Walrus's should not be sued. It is in their nature to say "Bye-Bye!" and blow things up!

    As bad as that is.

    It's awesome you met adam.

    Though I guess you should be cautious of the sky now.

    Adam is pretty damn cool, I must admit.
    But meeting Tory in person a year ago while visiting some family... damn, that was some intense stuff!

    Adam is one of the people that I could say I look up to as an idol.

    He's just so awesome.
