A plain white box truck has been "parked" (stored) in our parking lot for weeks. (An HOA no-no.) This morning when we walked the pooches, someone had sprayed in black, MCCAIN '08 on 3 sides. There was also a note from property management under the wiper blade, presumably telling them to move it.

Sounds like a surveillance truck to me. Shhh... they can probably hear you type!

I remember looking for snipers in every plain white box truck I saw. Bob and weave, shuck and jive through the parking lot to work. The phrase "white box truck" will forever remind me of Muhammad and Malvo, even though they were in a blue 1990 Chevy Caprice.

I'm not sure which is worse, a white box truck full of imaginary snipers, or one with MCCAIN '08 spraypainted on three sides.

The McCain campaign just isn't even trying anymore. This guerilla marketing campaign to appeal to the yutes by spray painting trucks just isn't going to cut it.

Have you considered adding question marks?

^LOL no, but I REALLY want to strike through CAIN and write LAME above it.

Shit, those two changed my behavior much more than Atta et al.

Why would there be a special type of truck for white boxes? Some kind of segregation hold-over?

Hey, black boxes get to ride on airplanes. That's one helluva pendulum swing!
