I know a guy who was hit by a VERY HOT ASPHALT TRUCK. The VERY HOT ASPHALT poured into the car and burnt him all over, necessitating VERY MANY SURGERIES and a VERY LARGE LAWSUIT. He used the VERY CONSIDERABLE PAYOUT to build an EXTREMELY LARGE CLASSIC MACINTOSH COLLECTION.

This is a true story and you are right to be afraid.

Macintosh the raincoat, the audio amplifier or the computer? Any of these would be sad in its own way.

The computer.

wow, wouldn;t it be sweet to have a collection of macintosh amps?

The ending of that story seems kind of sad to me. But maybe I am just ignorant of classic macintoshes.

This entry, on the other hand, is the best thing I have read on LJ for many, many moons. Thank you for writing it. I feel like I have a field guide to the 880 now, though luckily not for the 580, which does not allow trucks. Well, it would allow some of these smaller death trucks.

880 also had a *literal* death truck which was that coffin company truck which had a sign on it with some irony about what would happen if you fail to drive carefully around trucks, if I recall correctly.

That one, yeah.

What about the trucks filled with pebbles that go all over the place? Or the gardener trucks with lawnmowers and gas cans that fly off.

Heh heh. BOOM! Heh heh.

What, you don't get the radioactive waste trucks in your neck of the woods? And those enormous cylinder trucks are death on a stick, too: they could have milk in them and still be very ominous.

This post is awesome. I laughed so hard, I woke up the cat. I don't want to be street, either.

In a way milk trucks are the scariest cylinder trucks. Other liquid carriers generally have baffles in them to stop the fluid from surging around demonstrating newtonian physics calamitously. Milk haulers don't have baffles because it makes it impossible to completely sterilize the inside.
