Hidden
in the Tunnel System to the Research & Development Center, we
found these indigenous specimens lurking in the shadows. We
drew them into the light enough to procure a better view.
From left to right, are Dave Osborn (tribal name: ThebigO), Ray
Englar (tribal name: Holysmokes), Bob Guzik (tribal name:
Guzimagik), and Steve Wigginton (tribal name: Wigginout).
"ThebigO" is pictured with an icon he has hoisted to
lofted position, of the tribal exalted one, Bob Mathews. He
proclaims this person to be the messiah and patron saint of the
cable software industry. "ThebigO" is also known
to be the keeper of the temple cats.
"Holysmokes" was
witnessed sniffing his own incense, and looking for enlightenment,
but swears he doesn't inhale.
"Guzimagik"
appears somewhat lost in the enchantment of it all, and was
continuing to chant the mantra, "I am not worthy."
He is also a philosopher, and endlessly quotes Friedrich Nietzsche
and Howard Stern.
"Wigginout" is a
scholar of scripture, but appears to be in over his head with this
tribe. However, as no two artists will paint the mighty oak
in the same way, his mystical perceptions after this event will
likely be forever altered.
With many collective years
of reverent service among them, these tribal elders contribute
abundantly to our tribal wisdom. They are our Magi,
and provide us with a glimpse of what we can become. . .if we
aren't careful.
