Don't Mess with Mighty Thor!*

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

{This story needs a soundtrack}

For those of you around Friday afternoon, you witnessed me learning a valuable lesson. Stuck at work at the end of the afternoon, surrounded by rather vigorous thunderstorms in the north Atlanta area, I was communing with our fellow moon buds in the Shout box. The storms grew more intense and the lightening crept closer and closer. One time it knocked out our power temporarily. The storm subsided a little and power returned. Still alone and stranded I returned to the Moon for the safety of my comrades company. (insert the sound of a chicken clucking here)

Finding comfort again was not so easy as the storms began to rage once again. Here is where I made my mistake. In the Shout, I implored, in perhaps too authoritative a manner, that the Almighty Thor cease and desist, and choose another target for his lightning toss.

The "request" had not been posted but 5 seconds when a lighting bolt of enormous weight struck about 200 feet away from the building I was in. This, of course, silenced my request quite thoroughly, but also took out the power in several surrounding neighborhoods. What other recourse had I but to immediately surrender to his Almighty power and retract my request. "Have away where you will, I implored. I surrender to you!"

Well, while the storm did not subside, it did lighten and slowly move on it's way. Now, I sit here, shaken, yet alive, to tell the tale of how Thor vanquished OverHillandDale. It really wasn't a fair fight, though. He has such cool weapons. And heck, I'm mortal.

Now, all this story needs is a soundtrack. Any suggestions? (Maxwell's silver hammer need not apply)
