Or if they don't give you the discount then you flip them to the Dodgers, Yankees or some other dupe to get their top cheap talent. They're a bunch of rubes and are in love with your soon to be free agents anyway. After you've won 4 world series in a row, you decide to start the process all over again. The fans balk somewhat so you publicly denigrate them because after all you have produced all these world series championships. Fantasy land is where this exists. :lol:
I don’t know. Henley done built the perfect Beast.
I didn't see your post. Should have known you would beat me to it.
Like you, I read an op, and boom lyrics hit me. Cursed. This one was easy.
There's a diner near me named Sunset Grill (true). Decent place, but no working girls to watch go by.
Is it next door to the Garden of Allah?
I'm in Florida, not California like Henley.
Here we go again. I see Florida, I think Jimmy buffet.next thought- Hell, it’s nobodys fault.

Exactry.

The power of reason, the top of the heap
We're the ones who can kill the things we
Don't eat
Sharper than a serpent's tongue
Tighter than a bongo drum
Quicker than a one-night stand
Slicker than a mambo band
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
(building, building, etc..)
It's Olympus this time- Olympus or bust
For we have met the enemy -and he is us
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
(Building, Building)
Ever since we crawled out of the ocean
And stood upright on the land
There are some things that we just don't
Understand:
Relieve all pain and suffering
And lift us out of the dark
Turn us all into Methuselah-
But where are we gonna park?
(Building, Building)
The secrets of eternity-
We've found the lock and turned the key
We're shakin' up those building blocks
Going deeper into that box- (Pandora
Wouldn't like it)
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
(building, building)
All the way to Malibu from the Land of the
Talking Drum-
Just look how far-look how far we've come
“We have met the enemy and they is us.” Walt Kelly’s “Pogo.”

I'm just not into torture porn. Never watched Saw or any of that (bleep). Life is ugly enough without that in my head.
