... Zwing ... The Daring Duo should never have left Gotham City via the
Turnpike, and they should have never attempted to leave the Turnpike via
the Parkway East, and the intrepid, alert and inspiring Batman turned to
his faithful believing companion Robin and said: "All roads lead to Pittsburgh,
and if we don't get off soon we'll be going round, Robin" ... Kapow ...
Karroon ... as the indomitable Batmobile rammed through an insignificant
medial barrier, "Holy traffic violation" said Robin, and the Daring Duo
found themselves at the Point ... "My astute observation and 20-20 vision
leads me to believe that this is the world renown Point", said Batman,
"Holy Renaissance" said the exuberant Robin. ... "Onward", said Batman,
"Let's see where the bright, brilliant and benevolent brains if this city
reside" ... Va Room ... Swoosh ... And the Batmobile executed a neat tight
u turn, "Holy traffic violation" said Robin ... fade into black ... We
next find our Dynamic Duo unobtrusively walking the halls of the City Country
Building. ... "Look my youthful helper", said Batman "There's the District
Attorney's office manager talking to the manager of the two ice skating
rinks" ... "Holy nepotism" said Robin. ... And before they had a chance
to be hired by some department head who mistook them for his Uncle Batman
and Cousin Robin, they made their escape to the Batmobile that was parked
in a tow away zone, in front of a fire hydrant, blocking an alley, and
with amazing originality Robin said: "Holy traffic viotaion" ... Screech,
Scroom, as the Batmobile headed across the Fort Duquesne Bridge, and as
they went over the edge, the Boy Wonder summoning all his linguistic dexterity
noted: "Holy nothing", plummeting down three hundred feet our heroic hero
observed: "My keen and super sensitive senses tell me that this bridge
goes nowhere", and they raised the periscope of the Batmarine, "What do
you penetratingly observe, my young youthful yes-boy", said Batman, and
the answer was snapped back with amazing alacrity: "Holy polution" ...
and then on the North Side they scrished and srooshed to a halt, Batman
stroked his jutting bold square chin, nicking his finger on the sharp edges:
"Something is rotten in the state of the North Side, wonedrous boy" ...
"Holy Garbage" said Robin, and off they went to the Liberty Tubes, as they
weaved in and out of traffic causing a few minor accidents and Robin began
tom obsereve "Holy traffic vio..." when Batman interrupted: "Y' know Boy
Wonder you're beginning to bug me" ... "Sorry about that chief, but Holy
congestion". ... They neared the tubes, and with a display of witty wit
Robin punned: "Holy hole", into the tubes they went, and a coughing choking
voice on the edge of panic screamed out: "Holy smoke". ... Will the Dynamic
Duo ever get out of the Liberty Tubes? And if they ever do, will they tell
the rest of us how they did it? Good luck Daring Duo, our city needs more
Bats and Robins who no matter wherre it is hidden, no matter where it is
cunningly concealed will still courageously seek out and find truth, justice
and pop art.
