The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 25, 2013

He’ll bounce back. Having been around a long time, he has gotten wheel well each time. For a while there, though, he was on the rim of society. He was out of alignment, gone off-road. He had several re-treads and, it is rumored, even resorted to having his lug nuts tightened. .He denies, however, he used steeroids to pump himself up. He does breathe strictly pure nitrogen, and this seems to have helped him maintain balance. He has talked about this on several radial programs..Being such a celebrity puts him under great pressure. Luckily, he found a suitable mate in DOT and she’s keeping him on the necessary PSI. She is his pneumatic Michelin Woman. They have two offspring, Vulcan and Bead. And a dog named Rubber.
