Thomas called me about a cool school bus monster truck and said it would be a great photo op. It was, thank you Thomas. This truck might come in handy to Photoshop some day.
It was a fun day and it lasted all the way into the evening when we watched 'The Explosions' or otherwise known as 'The Marine.' It came out in 2006 and it stars the WWE wrestler John Cena.
The Story: John Triton is a heroic Marine who returns home after being discharged--against his will--from the Iraq War when he went in and saved his buddies against the orders he was given to just run away. Stateside, he finds himself back in action, when a group of murderous diamond thieves on the run led by a merciless criminal named Rome (Robert Patrick aka The T-1000) 
kidnap his wife and blow up 2 police cars and a gas station. Rome kidnaps John's wife because she witnessed the gas station explosion. John was able to run out of the building right as it exploded. As John is chasing the thieves they shoot his car into swiss cheese and he gets really, really mad. He's so angry at this point that he races toward their truck which is parked at the edge of a cliff. As he heads straight for them a bullet knocks out his steering and he hits the bumper of their truck which catapults him into the air and over the edge of the cliff. As he's flying over the cliff the thugs shoot the under carriage of the car and it explodes sending John flying into the river below. Even though Rome's truck isn't damaged and has plenty of gas they decide to get away on foot. John gets out of the river and brushes himself off. He luckily had some Neosporin with him for the tiny cut he got on his elbow. He chases them through the South Carolinian wilderness trying to catch up and save his wife. On his way he bumps into two big random tough guys who live in a log cabin full of propane, dynamite and gasoline tanks. The tough guys don't like cops and they think he's a cop. They knock John out with a stick and then tie him up and question him. "Are you a cop?" "No." "Don't lie! Are you a cop?" "No." "I'm getting tired of this. Are you a cop?" "No." The one guys punches him and then the other guy asks him again, "Are you a cop?" "Yes." John replies and then he jumps in the air and does a triple corkscrew elbow drop and breaks free. He then rams one guy through a concrete beam that the whole cabin is resting on and then accidentally punctures one of the many gasoline tanks. He then throws the other guy around a few times and his belt buckle or something creates a spark igniting the gasoline. John has just enough time to jump through the cabin window into the soft grass when the cabin explodes.
As he's running away from the explosion he sees Rome driving by in a Semi Truck with his wife. He quickly jumps on the back of the truck and tries to get inside but Rome rams the side of the truck into buildings that all explode as John holds on to the rear view mirror made of titanium steel. Rome ends up at a nitroglycerine propane TNT factory that has shelves upon shelves of gasoline and propane tanks. He charges into the factory and John is able to push him out of the truck but not before Rome handcuffs his wife to the door handle. John and Rome fight it out as the semi drives on through the factory creating sparks and igniting everything as his wife tries to steer straight without hitting anything. She ends up driving through several walls of dynamite and through a few gasoline tanks. After about a dozen explosions the semi crashes through the brick wall at the end of the factory which was wired to 3000 lbs of C4 and the giant explosion launches the semi into the lake behind the factory. John and Rome continue to fight and use various weapons they find laying around. Rome picks up a pipe, hits John once and then goes for a near by sledge hammer. He hits John in the chest with the sledge hammer and then grabs a chainsaw. This goes on for about 10 minutes when he realizes that his wife probably can't hold her breath for that long. He punches Rome into a pyramid of propane tanks that immediately explode on contact. John jumps into the water, breaks the door handle and does CPR on his wife. Just as she wakes up Rome comes from out of the fire with no face and holding a chain. John quickly wraps the chain around Rome's neck and flings him over his shoulder into a gasoline tank that explodes. Rome is dead and just then the ambulance pulls up to treat John's cut on his elbow.
