M-A-C (26):’Barmuda Triangle’

Category: whatsit

Collection Date: April 13th, 1985

Collection Location: (REDACTED), Georgia

Collection Report: The MAC is not to be confused with the establishment where it was found, also called ‘Barmuda Triangle’: a tropically themed purveyor of alcohol with a stable of billiards tables. For each there is a triangular ball rack with a decal lining the exterior that depicts palm tree silhouettes against an exaggerated orange-to-violet sunset.

Only one is MAC-26, indistinguishable from the rest initially. The catalog’s attention was drawn when several patrons of the bar, all with the same profession of pilot, went missing. There was never any clue in the disappearances, not so much as an empty car where it shouldn’t have been or an article of clothing. Shortly after their visit, six men were simply gone.

Beyond their jobs they all had one thing in common, having played a game on the furthest table from the entrance, next to the jukebox wearing the hula skirt and the coconut bra. Presumably they all handled MAC-26, which was singled out as the culprit from one witness report by (REDACTED): a fellow pilot shooting the breeze and pool with his coworker but who did not go missing, having touched everything at the table but the rack.

The catalog was able to purchase the item from the owner with no fuss as a ‘souvenir’. It is not to be touched by anyone who has ever flown an airplane or helicopter.

Current Collector: Joanna V. Satellito, provisional senior rank
