Evolution of the Kingdom 007 - 1916 Mack Model AC

This is the same 1916 Mack Model AC as the one from the previous post, except look what happened to it? That's right, it got the job as a geebeege truck! Here it is on route collecting ashes. Speaking of ashes, that reminds the King of a time when he fell under peer pressure.

 

So back to the college days where the King was studying to become Geebeege Truck King. And if you've been to college, you know how easy it is to get high off the grass. Like SoCalGarbageTrucks told the King on YouTube, someone did have fun with the grass. Or at least tried to.

 

The King shared his dorm room with three guys, Bobby, Paco, and Rancho. Bobby was Paco's cousin, and was the creeper in the dorm who made money by sending out viruses to unsuspecting people on the Interweb and stealing from their bank accounts. Sometimes when people were too smart to click on those, Bobby sent out fake travel agency information, and Bobby was drowning in unsuspecting people's money while they were on a plane halfway to Paco's village in Mexico. Man that village is scary! The King once went to the village and it was teeming with cockroaches that were high on fumes from the Meth lab on the outskirts of the village. The place is kept under control by people Paco called the village gangsters, who do marijuana trade with people in America. But Paco did not have to worry about getting jumped by those guys. Rancho, who was a little older than Bobby, Paco, and the King, was so loaded off of his own marijuana trading company that he supplied anything Paco requested. The King heard that Paco is still the only one in his village with Wi-fi and car. Yup, Paco worked for Rancho in the Mexican division while Rancho took care of things in the good old USA. Smart guys, these three.

 

Anyway, Rancho was the craziest one of all of us, as you can see. His name was Elmigo del Rancho, but who the heck would call someone Elmigo? It's like calling me the Garbage Truck King. What is that first word, anyway? So many people call the King that, but that's probably a mispronunciation. It's GEEBEEGE Truck King, everyone. Anyway, Rancho's company was called Mari-Trade, and we had just completed final exams when they shipped a box to our dorm. So Rancho, being the owner of the company, opened it and holy crap, it was a box filled with joints imported from Paco's village! Now Bobby, Paco, and Rancho all knew that The King had never gotten high in his life, so they told him to go first. The King at first said no, but finally had to do it when Rancho said that the King couldn't become the Geebeege Truck King if he didn't do it. When Rancho tells you to do something, you gotta do it! Otherwise, Mari-Trade can really screw your life up. Just look at Rancho himself, that old druggie. So the King did it. The three guys cheered, then started to inhale the smoke from their joints. Rancho went first, but something was wrong. He started coughing, and dropped his joint on the floor. That joint lit up the entire dorm, and the dorm eventually burned to the ground. Turns out the village gangsters swapped out the Mary Jane with some ashes during the shipping process. And it also turns out Rancho and Paco didn't even go to that college. Paco just hung out with Bobby, getting high and using that Women, Master, and Mate technique on getting girls, and Rancho was just hiding from the cops. The King hears he's doing time in prison. Oh well, the King's heard he's escaped a handful of times. Always gets shot after every attempt. Man, the drug trade is such a dangerous thing to get involved in.

 

So yes, the King never got high. Just a breath full of ashes down his lung. Pretty dangerous. The King has still never, and will never get high. Drugs are trash. Period.

 

Ashes and joints and college aside, this particular refuse truck weighed in at 5.5 tons, and Philly liked the truck so much they ordered another 32 Model AC's to do the work previously done by the horses. See? Times they were a-changing for those horses. Back to the picture, the reason ashes were so commonly collected was because they were somehow sanitary and used as fill in walkways and driveways. Using their resources intelligently.
