| Y'all
remember back in February when that really, REALLY nasty blizzard was stomping
across the country? Imagine if you will two vans and a box truck driving
south in Pennsylvania, completely oblivious to storm since none of the 14
people in these vehicles didn't bother to look at the weather. Imagine the
snow coming down slowly and prettily at first and then becoming a full-blown
blizzard by the time the vehicles turn west in Maryland. Now driving headlong
into the maw of the storm, our heroes naively and Mr. Magoo-ishly continue
on. The actors from Indiana, Wisconsin and Alaska are given the charges
to drive the company onward. And onward they go, listening to their silly
CDs rather than the radio that was screaming such messages as "State
of Emergency" and "All roads closed." Yes, on they go. They
hit West Virginia and as they take the onramp on their new interstate, they
literally crash through a snow bank to get on to the highway. "Why
aren't the snow plows dealing with this?" they foolishly ask. Not knowing
that the snow plows in West Virginia--both of them--have given up on this
futile task of fighting mother nature. But on our intrepid actors trek.
They arrive at their hotel to be greeted by a thoroughly surprised desk
clerk. "Where did you come from?" she asks. "New York"
the tired adventures tout, thinking the woman must be a moron, considering
such information would be on our reservation. It was only then that our
merry band learned of the extreme peril they faced in their journey. And,
of course, only then did they start saying "I knew we should have stopped."
Damn actors.
