Left A Bad Taste In My Mouth

Posted By: Dick Nukem 1998-06-15

And thanks to Jim tonight for giving me a target that really tasted nasty. He stuck my head in a radioactive cloud of gaseous emissions.

Target Cue:

RADIOACTIVE CESIUM-137/CLOUD ORIGIN/SOUTH WESTERN EUROPE.

First time I got more of an actual taste than just the IDEA of a taste. Sat there for a full minute (protocol violation!!) trying to describe this awful taste. Sort of like sucking on alum or licking the white residue around on the contacts on your car battery.

I don’t know if it was the Cesium itself or some associated industrial gaseous by-product, but MAN was that a nasty taste.
