Five stars for the funniest and creepiest event that Austin Cab gets credit for.\r
\r
OK. So we are idiots and parked at the Ironworks parking lot for dinner and did NOT move the car before strolling up 6th Street. Upon our return to the car, it had been towed. So, we hailed a cab... an Austin Cab to be specific.\r
\r
Myriam was our driver, and she was happy to take us to the impound lot, call the lot for us to get directions... the whole gracious hostess thing. Loved her!\r
\r
Here is the funny part. I was sitting behind the driver and could see --between the front seat and the door -- a set of long nails. I whispered to Aimee C, ""Check out her fingernails."" At that precise moment, the friend sitting in the front seat screamed in his queeniest voice, ""OH MY GOD! THOSE ARE THE LONGEST FINGERNAILS I HAVE EVER SEEN."" Well, Myriam, proud of her claim to fame, whipped them out to show us. They were --- the longest any of us had ever seen. We are talking Freddy Kruger on some pretty good steroids. (LOOK AT THE PIC I UPLOADED)\r
\r
Pretty freaky, huh? Freakiness aside, Myriam told us all about her travails with her nails.... four hour manicure sessions, mobilizing with only her right hand, and the newest one, she is about to be named to Guinness Book!\r
\r
So what are the chances of your hailing a cab and getting a world champion athlete as your runner? None. What are your chances of getting your own carnival side show... pretty damned good.\r
\r
Next time you want a cab, call Austin cab and ask for Myriam to take care of you. You can see for yourself.
