The hip indie accessory for 2009 will be a Japenense Decorata truck rigged with flashing neon lights, back lit graphic cut-outs, hand-painted cats, and plenty of chrome. These functional objects can transport bushels of potatoes with enough embellishment to excite a party on any rural highway.

A general rule: More things should be more like casinos. For example, I offer two songs that are pretty but don't go anywhere...
