I believe the Michoacan is called the Martin hitch in this text.

This is the same PDF that John Sanborn successfully posted and the correction from Martin to Michoacan has been made.

If you read it again, the story goes that Martin (Marrr-teen) Morales wants it called the Michoacan because that is his hometown.
