This just in!… After persistent rumors of a historic PRT deployment above the Artic circle, intrepid reporter Dan the Blogger goes to the North Pole to interview the big guy himself. That’s right, folks. Santa Claus himself has made a “ringing” endorsement of PRT technology at his northernmost campus…Here are excepts from the interview…
Dan the Blogger: “Santa, I must say I’m a bit surprised to see you adopt such cutting-edge technology. What made you turn to PRT?”
Santa: “Simple logistics Dan, I run a tight ship here. It’s a pretty big enterprise. We’ve got daily shipments coming in…one hell of a payroll…I can’t be wasting time stuck up to my keester in snow, trying to get the reindeer hitched-up. What’ya think? I should snowshoe all the way from the house to the workshop? And it’s worse for the elves, ya know…I used to have to issue periscopes and shovels or they’d get lost entirely!
Dan the Blogger: “It looks like you went with Vectus. Any particular reason why?”
Santa: “Have you ever tried to fit a reindeer in one of them “Skyweb” things? Damn uncomfortable for the reindeer, I’ll tell ya.”
Dan the Blogger: “Wow, it seems like you really put PRT to good use.”
Santa: “That ain’t the half of it, Dan. I even got track runnin’ between the warehouses and the docks.”
Dan the Blogger: “the docks? I thought you…”
Santa: What? Fly everything from here in a single night? What are you in? The 1860’s? The stuffs gotta be staged, ya know…I got warehouses all over. Plus I got ships comin’ in from China almost daily.”
Dan the Blogger: “I….I thought the toys were made by elves…”
Santa: “Chinese elves, Dan. “…do a wonderful job.”
Dan the Blogger: “My readers are probably wondering what you think of having the linear motors in the track instead of on board… I guess that probably saves weight and space as well, doesn’t it?
Santa: Don’t need motors, Dan. I just tie some cars together and put a reindeer in the front one. Works like a charm…. Hey, I gotta get back to it, ‘less you wanna see 5000 little girls get headless dollies…
Dan the Blogger: Thank you Santa, for this interv….
Santa: “yeah, yeah,.. Keep your stick on the ice, fella… oh, and Dan…”
Dan the Blogger: “Yes, Santa…”
Santa: “You know damn well I can’t give you THAT kinda thing for Christmas…”
Dan the Blogger: “Yeah, I know…”
Dan the Blogger: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
