I had no idea. Just goes to show that you can live in a place for years and be oblivious to the unrest. People can live in my town for quite a while before they discover the raw and festering undercurrent of tension between the dominant football and cheerleading squad (FCS) and newly developed coalition of the Band Geeks and Science Nerds(BGSN). Despite the superior strength of the FCS forces, it has been said that the more numerous BGSN have secret stashes of weaponry, relentlessly working weekends and afterschool in time for "Homecoming", the high holiday of the FCS. Homecoming has traditionally been a time of FCS ascendency and is considered by some to their most important holy day. BGSN is expected to have an ambush mentality after years of living in fear. Volleys of biological weapons (putrified fowl ova) are feared and local authorities are on high alert. Police have been called in out of fear of a breakdown of the fragile peace that has been in place since summer. In a related story, 2 BGSNs were found dazed in a local park after being given atomic wedgies by FCS extremists.
