And here is a picture of the Ottawa man-bag mobile. I know, the second I get behind the wheel of this North American family friendly land yacht (its a Pontiac you know) we will cross firmly into the realm of middle class suburban stereotype. We will become the kind of family that you see in advertisements for the sort of stuff white people like. Trust me friends. As I climb up behind that wheel I shall have my tongue planted firmly to one cheek. Its irony I tell you. Irony.
Honest.
You know what scares me here in Brissy?
ReplyDeleteTiny little people in really massive cars. I'm talking Four foot flat driving a friggin Jeep.
I'm afraid that they're going to run over someone and not notice because they didn't see them.
It's as if all at once a million gallons of oil cried out, and then were silenced.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its a big one. The thing is there are already four of us, and if there is one universal truth about overseas postings its that guests will come. With the mighty Pontiac we can fit the family as well as the visiters and their luggage. So while I will feel a bit of a tool on those ocasions I am driving it by myself, I an promise you that there will be many times when it is filled to capacity.
