Sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Boss here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. And during the turn of the millennium in Alden, New York, that man was Nate Bailey. Now the boss’ story takes place right about the time of our conflict with Sadam and the Iraqis. Only reason this is worth mentioning is because it goes along with a pretty sweet quote from The Big Lebowski . Truth be told, this here prerequisite don’t have much relevance to Nate’s story, but I felt it was a pretty moving introduction. Now one day as the boss was roaming on home from a long evening at that ol’ watering hole he loved so much, he came across a lonely old hotel. Sign over the door read “Hotel California” which was simple enough to lull any man into a false sense of security. The boss rolled in to find it vacant; quiet enough to hear even the faintest moan from a stuck pig (I liked that line). Nate decided he would be a fool not to let himself into a room and proceeded to do so. He tried to rest his eyes for a minute on the dusty bed, but was soon greeted by a whole company of ghosts. Boss man booked it to the door but a spirit beat him to it. Darkness washed over the Boss, darker then a black steer's tookus on a moonless prairie night. From this there was no escape. The boss is still stuck in that room today, trying to escape from all the dastardly spirits that haunt him. I for one find it rather displeasing that we won’t be hearing from the boss any time soon.
