Re: The new TABtown NOVELLA
October 4, 2007
… Philly and Tanny, who hadn’t found a ride yet, saw the old ATA bus, flagged it down and joined the other Tabbers singing a rousing rendition of Courtesy of the Red White and Blue. Just as they reached the chorus “..we’ll put a boot in their a**…” Philly got a text message that the Phillies had won their division and hubby had two dugout tickets for the second playoff game at the Bank. She turned to Tanny and said, “Sorry, country girl, we’re bagging Toby tonight.”
“Turn this bus southeast,” she ordered the driver. I812many refused, citing company policies and just plan fear of crossing I-80, so Philly produced a suspiciouly odiferous canvas bag. “I have leeks and I know how to use them!” To Philly’s surprise, however, the driver and busful of B-towners were not afraid of the leeks. Shrieks of “Give me some,” “No, I’m making stew tonight,” “No, I need them more,” “No, I want them, my mother-in-law’s coming” rang through the bus.
Perplexed as to how to get the driver to obey, Philly had a scathingly brilliant idea. “Hey, Rick Oliveri, whose grandfather founded Pat’s Steaks, puts leeks on his cheesesteaks instead of onions! That’s why they’re trying to chase him out of the Reading Terminal where all the country people bring their produce. Let’s say we all go down there and give him our support.”
The bus got quiet for a second. “Sounds like Phillytown is disrespecting our leeks. Whadaya say, guys?” asked Jerk {who had been riding on the roof after he jumped from vandalizing the Zippo sign) as he popped his head in upsidedown through an open window. Cries of “Let’s save Rick’s! Let’s save the leeks!” broke out. I8 turned the bus down 219 and headed for Phillytown.
Phillygirl sat back and mentally rubbed her hands together, as she formed the next phase of her plan — getting to the Bank.
