The Steel City Exorcism

So apparently the tourism industry of Thailand is having a difficult time rebuilding after last Decembers tsunami. The reason? according to Suwalai Pinpradab of the Tourism Authority of Thailand many Asia beach goers refuse to return to Asia's southern beaches because they believe them to be haunted by the spirits of tsunami victims.

Well if you were dead were would you rather be? Taken the long dirt nap in Akron Ohio or spending eternity lounging in the warm sand of the South Pacific? Unfortunately bringing in paying customers takes priority over the comfort of freeloading poltergeists so the Tourism Authority of Thailand is doing what any reasonable 21st century government would do.

A statue of Godmother Ruby (aka Mazu in Chinese) will be taking up residence on the Thai island of Phuket. Ruby's job? Ghost eviction of course. Sorry Casper, it really sucks you were crushed by a monstrous wave and all but I really wanna do some boogie-boarding and your creeping me out.

So this got me thinking. Maybe when the Thai Government is all done playen Ghostbusters in Paradise they can ship good old Godmother Ruby to Pittsburgh's North Shore because according to Ween, Tommy Maddox has been dead for quite a while now and yet he continues to show up week after week at Heinz Field. There's only room for one evil spirit in "The Coca-Cola Great Hall" and Rod Woodson has seniority.

peace out yo
