Abandon All Hope Ye Who Taxi Here!
This past Saturday night the EIC was trying to get home from a wild party in Lincoln Park, and inadvertently flagged a cab whose number was...666! It was owned by the Flash Taxi Company, and their lightning-bolt logo was particularly ominous given the context! Summoning the spirit of the Monz (if not channeling it), the EIC enterred into the cab and attempted to engage the driver in some banter about the number. He was met with the scoffing disdain of a taxi driver version of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi: "There are other cabs they can take! Stupid superstition!" Then...
"Wait!" shouts the Literary Editor (LE). "You said you were, er, pretty inebriated that night. And the MYL book club has read "Life of Pi." Is this some allegory, or figment of your immagination?"
No more than Monz' lunch of a Whole Foods vegan harvest loaf sandwich, apple and nectarine. That cab was as real as that lunch was yummy!
