Project Challenger

Execution: First encounter with the cops...

Now when you have a couch there is one definite photo you must have and so coming round the corner of the museum we decided that now was the perfect time. We stopped and proceeded to load the couch onto Crispy...

Of course that one, must have photo (apart from topless chicks on the couch), is the couch with legs photo... hehehe

You can hardly see it here but this next photo is of us outside the main entrance of the museum. Now at about this time we noticed a security guard inside watching us and we thought nothing of it. We weren't making any trouble, just walking past with a couch, stopping, taking photos then moving on, you know everyday stuff...

That was about when the cop car pulled up. You can't see it here but they had dogs in the back seat. We were standing there saying "look natural" pretend nothings happening...

Then the trooper came out. He had the shaven head, the ear piece, the works. He was pretty sweet about it though. Just wanted to know if we had stolen the couch and what we were doing with it. We told him we hadn't stolen the couch, like we would admit to it if we had, and were just taking it for a walk...

He let us go with a warning, don't use the couch to throw through any windows... OK then. So we were like fucking yay! Here's us next to the rocks outside the museum doing the fucking yay thing.

Fucking yay!

Fucking yay!

So having done the tourist thing we decided it was time to move on and to find more people. Of course we were running a little low on gas so had to stop and fill'er up.
