"Tober, the red-ink engineer, you'll go down in history!"

"I need your light to outshine our troubles!"

"Lynx had bashers and ranters, taunters and vixens, comments of stupid, too-expensive ad blitzing."

"Another half cent in sales tax and this thing will fly!"

"Ok, we'll call University City the "in the red" line!"

"Pulling the load for the benefit of others is taxing work isn't it, Rudolph?"

"Glowing reviews so far Rudolph!"

"They said this wouldn't fly, but we delivered!"

“But everyone Uptown has been naughty this year.”

"OK, you enjoyed Whisky River – but I’m the designated driver."

"The most famous train-deer of all."

"Just be grateful you still have a job!"

"I’m dreaming of a green Christmas!"

"That’s ten miles Rudolph, only 24,990 to go!"

"Funny how they just love the presents but never ask how much they cost?"

"Dang it, Rudolph! I thought that was the light at the end of the tunnel."

"Don’t cry, Rudolph; you will make new friends soon!"

“Merry Christmas to all…as long as you live near the South Blvd corridor.”
