No room in the manger, but plenty of space in the Hummer.


As you may know from reading The Blog, I have a colleague whose name is Mary, and her husband’s name is Joseph, and they coincidentally share many of the virtues of the original Mary and Joseph (actually it is no coincidence since those names are aliases). At any rate, Mary and Joseph are virtuous, kind, and generally live pretty austere lives (and they will become more austere next week when their sole mode of transportation becomes an ’86 Jeep). But tomorrow night, Mary and Joseph are letting some flash out as they will be doing a bar crawl in two 30-passenger Hummer limousines. These limos are so big I cannot even find a picture of one; the largest I have seen are the 25 passenger ones. They are so big that if one person at one end of the limo calls another person at the other end it is an interLATA call unless the terminating carrier is doing VNXX (telecom joke). This limo has eight bars, three TVs, two dance floors (one on the ceiling), but alas no KC & the Sunshine Band (who are coming to Denver next month). Mary is dressing as Little Red Riding Hood and suffice to say Ms. Hood has never rocked a ride so fly as this Hummer. As one who has cursed much smaller Hummer limos for taking up an entire non-curb lane on the road, you may want to consider avoiding the Colfax corridor tomorrow night (and, yes, I mean the entire Colfax corridor). So I just wanted to alert you in case you mistakenly thought when seeing the limos that the Palins are celebrating Halloween in Denver.
