just as David Goode, dressed in a hunting cap, arrived trackside, closely followed by Hike Maverty... the nitrous oxide was getting kinda thick. "Wook", said Goode, "wabbit twacks ... huh huh huh huh huh."

Ward suddenly grabbed Goode by the lapels and smacked him a wet one on the kisser, then lit out down the ballast, disappearing in the thickening exhaust from the floating GEs. Maverty looked at Goode: "Which way did he go George? Which way did he go."

"Awwww shuddup" said Goode. "And anyway I'm not George -- HE's George." He pointed with a large fluorescent 'safety' hand, a new NS switching idea borrowed from the NFL. Somewhat cross-eyed, Maverty followed the wobbling foam finger, to see

The NS president fished in the gunny sack over his shoulder, figuring that a little music might 'soothe the savage ***'. "Pies are on the dollar menu at McDonalds," he said to Maverty, "what's their current jingle? I don't understand their current 'ethnic' pitches. Whatever happened to 'Have it your way... have it your way?' That's such a formative influence on my management style..."

"McDonald's got a wild hair about making every order fresh every time, and their service at ru***imes looks like Union Pacific's."
