With most of us standing around, waiting to enter the corporate flight facility, the last cab pulled in. You could hear it coming. It was not the engine, it was the sound system. The bumping of loud, loud bass was rattling the windows of the other cabs, and this was a tiny little car. It was lowered, had dingle balls around the windows, ground-effect lighting, and a hula girl on the dash (straight out of a movie). The windows were down (it was 10 degrees, mind you), and all we could see were heads bobbing to the music, and arms flapping up and down out the windows, keeping time with the song. We could then see who was inside- Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge, all smiles, and absolutely rocking out to this insanely loud hip-hop. Again, you probably had to be there, but it was hilarious. Oden climbed out, laughing, and then explained that this driver had let them experience one of his own mix tapes.

B-b-b-ut, I thought Greg Oden was miserable and depressed all of the time..... :rolleyes:
 
Good stuff.

HCP,
Can you add any funny details? Did you get up and dance?
 
I'll give you some negativity. That loud music is going to damage the hair cells of their inner ears.

No probs on my end! Our vans got us to the plane just fine! The delay did allow me to kick back in BRoy's captain's chair and chill for awhile! Watch some Sportscenter!
 
I am surprised MB beat HCP to the punch. I also would like to hear from HCP to how his cab ride went and where they finished. My bad, HCP posted while I was reading MB's blog.

could you imagine if ZBO was still here?

"yeah, get in this cab...and meet us at the airport" (assuming there are strip clubs on the way to the aeroporte in Minny)
 
That is hilarious. Mike Barrett urging the driver to get into pole position, that is too funny.

It brings back memories of my taxi ride from an LA hotel to the pier to go over to Catalina Island. It was a black stretch limo on the outside but the magic happened when you opened the door. It had faux fur leopard skin upholstery, tacky black fringe hot glued around every window and door, a spinning mirror ball hanging from the ceiling and disco blasting from the speakers. Best taxi ride ever!

Yeah, and we'll probably get the news tomorrow that he hurt his left elbow with all that arm flapping.

Then we'll get the news that blazer fans are suing the team because they cried so many tears they are drowning in a river of them

While that taxi/limo was a really classy ride I decided to go with a theme that never seems to go out of style... tropical. Just a few glitches, the coconut bra chafed, the grass skirt didn't provide enough coverage, the tiki torch melted the hula doll in the back window, and I forgot I needed to drill a hole in the floor/fish tank to feed them. But other than the unfortunate incident with the volcano (a teeny tiny spot of faux magma that came right out when I had it dry cleaned, some people can be so touchy) it was very successful and I sold it at a nice profit.

Now I'm driving a red Toyota Yaris. I haven't settled on a theme yet but I'll keep you posted. :fish::fish::fish::fish::fish:
