Juggernaut Spring Training Camp: Franklin WV

Scene One: Setting: A gas station at the north end of Franklin WV. Three Juggernauts enter, mill about, select a variety of beer flavors, and head to the counter. A woman with four teeth enters the store and pauses, eyes wide, and clasps hands to face. Four-tooth woman: OH MY GOD YOU LOOK JUST LIKE NEIL PATRICK HARRIS! Juggernaut #1 that kind of looks like Neil Patrick Harris (NPH) blinks eyes in astonishment. Juggernaut #2: I'm euphoric right now. Four-tooth woman's boyfriend walks toward Juggernaut #1 Four-tooth woman: WELL HE DOES! JUST LOOK AT HIM! Juggernaut #1 remains motionless. Four-tooth woman's boyfriend looks at him. Juggernaut #1: This is awful. Juggernaut #2: This is the greatest thing ever in the history of the world. Four-tooth woman and four-tooth woman's boyfriend walk by and select bag of Doritos. Juggernaut #1 and #2 exit store. Juggernaut #3 emerges from wherever the hell he was. Juggernaut #3: What just happened? Did you see that chick with four teeth?
