Here's a classy looking geebeege truck from late 1916 or early 1917. You see, this is the problem with having the same design for twelve years. You can't tell what year it is, thus making the identification process slightly inaccurate. Not only was the Model AC a rousing success, but this geebeege body was also widely acclaimed. This geebeege truck used for collecting ashes and trash and used for collecting snow in the wintertime. It's kind of like that one company from Florida that advertised "Free Snow Removal" back in the 1990's. Except that company wasn't so successful in the snow removal business because it never snowed in Florida! You know come to think of it, it actually did this one time when the King was down there for a business opening with his college roommate Bobby and his cousin Paco.
So if you remember Paco, he's the richest guy in his little Mexican village, thanks to being in charge of Mexican affairs for Mari-Trade, the drug trading company owned by Elmigo del Rancho. What Paco doesn't know is that he's still poorer than a homeless man's toilet filled with dookie, but he's high all the time, so he doesn't even know where he is for the most part. Now this was 1992, and Mari-Trade had some deep competition, like that one guy Pablo Escobar and his gang down in South America. Man that guy was loaded! Luckily he's not around anymore these days to compete with Mari-Trade.
Somehow, Paco managed to make a huge successful coke deal with some gangsters in his village, with the help of Bobby, of course. Remember, the Internet was very new back then, so Bobby easily deterred the shipment of coke and traded it out with some used diapers from a geebeege barge in New York. Those gangsters must've had a sh*tty time without their drugs! Sorry, that was awful, but I'm the King, and the King can do whatever he wants. Now, the shipment came to Mari-Trade, of course, but it was such an overwhelming amount that Mari-Trade couldn't fit it in their storage facility. So, to make business, Rancho decided to expand Mari-Trade operations to Pompano Beach, Florida.
To start off the business, Rancho opened up a new convenience store. On the outsider's perspective, Rancho operated a franchise of Mexican convenience stores called El Seño, but in reality these were just cover-ups with loads of drug shipments across North America, particularly coke. Unfortunately for Rancho, his sister was going on a trip at the time and left her 2 young sons with Rancho. Of course Rancho doesn't give a crap about those two little Mexican jumping beans, so he left them in the back room of the convenience store. A few minutes later police responded to some screaming at the convenience store and found those two throwing coke balls and making coke angels! Turns out Rancho's nephews thought that it was snowing in the back room! What a couple of pendejos! Luckily, with Bobby's quick thinking, Rancho's sister got arrested, and Rancho wouldn't get caught until a couple months later. But that's a whole nother thing.
So it did snow in Pompano Beach. Now the King was there to help with the clean up, and knew of this one geebeege truck company that advertised free snow removals on their trucks. But for some reason when the King called for the snow removal service, all the dispatcher did was laugh at him. Man, they advertise some great offer only to be a hoax or something. Could've had the whole yard flying high with all that snow.
So they wouldn't collect for free, so all Bobby, Paco, and Rancho did was sit down in the pile of coke and started snorting. Man, they must've soared through the roof that night!
Coke and free snow removals aside, these trucks were very helpful in assisting with city works in removing real snow off the streets. Real helpful things, those geebeege trucks were back in the good ol' days. Oh crap, now the King is starting to sound like a redneck. You know the King once got into a fight with some redneck outside some geebeege truck yard. Maybe he'll tell you about that next on Evolution of the Kingdom.
The old Sandgate Post Office in suburban Brisbane now converted to a hotel/bar. I saw a postcard of it recently on flickr dated 1906. Hardly changed a bit!

Kicking off my group's photo pool, neck on the chopping block, arse in the wind and all that. This idea was born out of an afternoon messing around with Noodle and Elusyve, looking at each other's original avs in fits of giggles. I didn't even show my fangs then!

"Certainly the innovators of their time, Montoya and Vigil might have been the first at San Ildefonso to use red with the black design. Perhaps a trader suggested it directly or merely showed them the brightly colored Acoma pieces which were their competition..."
