Call To The Junkyard

Okay so I know this is not totally germane to the point and purpose at hand, but the question going into the 2009 season just needs to be asked...

When you absolutely must have a motor vehicle of any specific shape or size, who are you going to contact?

Maroone.

I, for one, will never tire of tuning in to FSN Florida to the sight of Rick VandenHurk trotting off the field having given up five earned, unable to escape the fourth inning. That can only mean one thing -- time for a cheap ripoff of the Ray Parker Jr's 80's classic.

When you need car
Truck or van
Who ya gonna call?
MAROONE!

Frankly, it would make a lot more sense to me if the dealership was named "Postruckers" such that someone thought, "Hey, that sounds like....Ghostbusters!" Wouldn't they have been better served with "Take On Me" by A-Ha? Or maybe "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol?

When it all comes down to it, you have to tip your cap to the ad men who worked their low-budget magic on this. Not only have I come to expect it, but I can sing the stupid words. Maybe they meant for it to be as cheesey as it is. Whatever the case may be, it works.

Now if only I could get that pesky Empire Carpet jingle out of my head...
