Pirate Booty Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be! |
As with much hidden treasure, many times it's the
journey to find it that brings the greatest reward. Often
it's retracing the steps of those that have made attempts before
us that bring the greatest reward, when we succeed where others
have failed. Not to mention the attention one garners from
such an undertaking, risking both life and limb in search of
that which, by many accounts, seems unobtainable. It's a
high profile adventure to be sure. To the one who finds
it, untold riches. To those who do not, a life time of
heartache and despair. One of our own has returned from
such a pilgrimage. He has seen the light at the end of the
tunnel, he has reached the apex of Drivers Clubdom, and like any
good explorer, he has brought back irrefutable proof.
It has long been believed, by those in the upper echelon of the
Drivers Club, that the Captain Morgan 'stance' has held
some extraordinary if not 'magical' powers. Often times it
could be seen, members would strike this pose directly in the
line of sight of others as they attempted to focus their
attention on more serious matters. Without question this
practice proved infallible when used to attract the attention of
others. The only drawback to this method of announcing
one's superiority was that it left you, how should I say,
vulnerable to attacks which could quite literally bring you to
your knees. When done correctly, and at more than arms
reach from anyone in the general vicinity, it is usually met
with awe and admiration. Often times it is accompanied by
topics of 'regular' conversation so as to mask it's harsh
unveiling. Let it be said here and now, the consumption of
the Captains endorsed beverage has no bearing on the
effectiveness of 'The Stance'! It's an attitude, a blatant
disregard for the well-fare of one's own package. It says
to others in attendance, "Here I am, Look at my Knuckle!"
So as Matt will, no doubt, be asked to speak about his latest
quest, he will tell of the joy of the hunt, the exhilaration of
the discovery, and the humbling experience of being in the
presence of 'greatness', and we as Drivers Club faithful will
look up to him with a twinkle of respect, mixed with a pinch of
distain, that it was not any one of us who had made this
historic discovery. The only advice I offer, "Use this
power sparingly, and with caution... for a sweaty forehead and a
high pitched voice await you, if you abuse this gift. This
I assure you!" |
