I watched my Faithful Reader remove leaves from our driveway last week using a leaf blower. It was amazing, like Moses parting the Red Sea. But, with the hose in his hand and the pack on his back, he looked like a Ghostbuster. This got me to wondering—if he were a Ghostbuster, which one would he be?<\/p>\n
He couldn’t be the token black guy (played by Ernie Hudson), because he deserves a bigger role.<\/p>\n
He couldn’t be Egon Spengler (played by Harold Ramis), because though funny, Egon is humorless. My man has a great sense of humor.<\/p>\n
