Vandals, this. Vandals that. Have you guys ever considered it was maybe the Visigoths? Guess nobody wants to say, "Hey you Visigothized by car!" "Those Visigoths put American Grafitti in my wall." I guess sound more sexy saying, "Vandal, this. Vandal that." Can you imagine calling your a boxy truck Visigon? A Vis? Doesn't sound right. Yeah, there you see. Sounds better called Vandalgon or Vanagon for short. See those Frenchie guys are pretty smart. They use our name to make things glamorous. It's like calling pigs "pork". Sounds much more suave like shampoo with Warren Beatty. You people need to get a life. If we want your precious gasoline/diesel/veggie oil, we will simply we will simply IMPALE your fuel tank with our trusty Brick & Dirk Diggler cordless and wireless screw driver. Just ask those SUV owners with plastic tanks in San Francisco. I can only guess David de Milo is old enough to remember us, The Vandals, and fuel prices under 50 cents. No not THAT rapper. Now gas is so expensive that even we, The Vandals, might consider appropriating some as a hedge against financial inflamation.
Vandally Yours,
