The End of Al’s Corner

Images

 

 

 

 

 

A huge explosion and fireball enveloped the Al's Corner tanker truck late Tuesday evening.  The explosion was heard as far away as Esparto, Knights Landing, Allendale, Zamora, Broderick, Saxon, Batavia, and the Milk Farm.

Preliminary investigation by the combined UCD and City fire departments indicate that a flea had flown into the side of the tank, causing the explosion.

When asked how a flea could have caused such an explosion, fire chief Woody Burns said simply:

"It was a very annoying flea".

Contacted at his new residence on the east side of Pole Line Road just north of 8th Street, Al was asked about Al's Corner's iconic run in the Davis shitty-blog scene.  Al responded simply:

"It's been real, and it's been fun.  But it hasn't been real fun."

    I exposed the hypocracy of Mr. Miller. He regularly slammed the Davis Vanguard for censorship, yet he did the same thing with me everytime I tried to truthfully call someone out by name. Without the the names, my comments had little value. Worse still, he swore frequently, then attempted to laugh it off. Good riddance to Al’s Corner. Al’s Corner turned out not to be a free speech platform.

    Say it ain’t so, Al.
    Otherwise, all we’re left with is “burger battle” articles.
    Regardless, appreciated the opportunity to post comments that the Vanguard refused to post, despite not violating any of their supposed “rules”.
    Often times, in response to posted comments which actually do violate their own rules.
    And which is still occurring.

    I’m sorry to see Al’s Corner go. I’ve never commented here but I read all the articles and the comment section was freaking hilarious (for a while). Sorry the flea caused the catastrophic failure of the tank. A flea did it? Probably more like an untrained shrew. A real PITA, and I’m not talking about bread.

    The Davisite will suffer without Al’s Corner. Al brought some life to this place.
    In other news there’s a rumor of a Vanguard ‘Gone Party’ taking place at Vitos.

    Glad I don’t have to read any more of Mr. Miller’s whinny comments about the Davis Vanguard! 🤣

    At the memorial site of the ‘Corner I plan to take selfies with all the important people in town whilst sporting the slogan “Trying hard not to weaponize equity” written on my chest in various artisanal flavors.

    “A real PITA”
    Aww yes Skip, a real PITA. But Al’s tanker didn’t blow up because of the PITA, I know the driver and he had been thinking of parking the tanker for a while now. The PITA maybe moved up the timeline a little. It’s unfortunate that the rest of us have to deal with PITA’s, but as the saying goes “there’s one in every crowd”. I found that so true in life, whether it was in the classroom, my baseball team, at work, etc. There was always a PITA everyone had to suffer.
    Skip, I wish you had commented here more instead of the PITA.
