Awesome Cavan, just awesome. So much Marine insight. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot – WTF. Now that’s a great cab name.

I, too, am fascinated by the potential back story for the H-Z cab. My thoughts also tend to go to something slightly sinister, like the idea that there might be an A-G cab out there, H-Z’s evil nemesis, a doppelganger of sorts. H-Z carries on his regular routine, picking up passengers, but always on the periphery of his thoughts and vision is this other cab that bears the remainder of the alphabet that he is confident he will reclaim one day. Because, at this point, he’s winning. He has nineteen letters of the alphabet. He’s ahead. He just needs to gain possession of the first seven letters. Return them to the fold, make it whole again. Make himself whole again. A-Z, A-Z, this is his silent mantra as he cruises the dark night streets of San Diego.

I can imagine them passing each other on a two-way street late one night, going in different directions. As each gazes down and reads the name on the side of the opposite cab, recognition and understanding registers upon their faces. As A-G’s eyes widen in fear, H-Z’s narrow in determination. An epic ‘Bullitt’-style car chase ensues.

That’s as far as I got on one cup of coffee.

The other military “letters” are Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu.

I’d look for cabs with these names. Perhaps H-Z cab is the boss of Hotel through Zulu and they are at war with Alpha-Golf. In fact, Alpha Golf Cab may exist… my guess would be to check La Jolla.

Also look out for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Cab–marines say that to cleverly veil “what the fuck.”

Also Blue Falcon Cab–beware that one, its Jarhead for “Buddy Fucker.” Marines love “Foxtrot.”

Consider this. Z is the first letter of Zeus, and H is the first letter of Hades–two of the three paternal Greek Gods who shared the father Cronos. The final is Poseidon, lord of the sea and earthquakes. Maybe “-” doesn’t mean through, its a placeholder for an absent letter–as in Poseidon is missing! This would explain the recent spate of earthquakes and tidal wives.
