23 August 2004Working for The ManIt's a few minutes before sunrise, I'm threading myself through a slalom of side streets before I drop onto the Northwest Distressway, and a pickup truck is parked by the curb. It is, of course, huge, but not so huge that I have to adjust my path, and as I approach its massive hindquarters I see the license plate: THE MAN. Omigod. All these years I've been working for The Man, and now I've moved into The Man's neighborhood? Obviously he knows he is, after all, The Man so I have to assume that it's due to the forbearance of The Man that I am allowed to remain here for the time being. I will, of course, be careful not to disturb The Man's truck. Did you know about The Man's domestic situation? Posted by: McGehee at 7:45 AM on 24 August 2004We all have our little, um, departures from our desiderata. :) "When I say Jump, you say 'Yeah, right'..." Actually, this truck is used for total hauling by the Total Hauling Enterprise Mobile Automotive Network. If I could have it immediately and could afford to replace it shortly, Id want FORM 180; the plate I do actually plan to order reads PRE OND. I caught sight of The Man's trailer today, which bore an emblem for The Man Racing and a Kawasaki logo. Nice to know he has a hobby. :) |
