Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 3 June 2K6

And now, the Cory Rogers Song...

I remember when we walked as one
And all the truths were known
And we were scrappers in the schoolyard fights
Talked tough on the telephone

But there was always one big guy
Who feared nothing and no one
His name was Gary and he looked so mean
He wasn't a lot of fun

When he walked by...
YOU GOT THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY
Gary was... was the top cat in his day
Everybody said... that he'd get his some day

Gary was the schoolyard bully, he didn't have a lot of friends
He had kids do his homework for him, stupid to the end
On Graduation Day he stood the tallest, and he got his degree
He couldn't add two plus two, let loose on society

When he walked by...
YOU GOT THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY
Gary was... was the top cat in his day
Everybody said... that he'd get his one day

Well, I swear to this day
That I still see his face
When I have a bad dream at night
There's the monster to my right...

Gruesome Gary met his match at a young and tender age
He got a whipping at the mall one night, the police took him away
The town cheered and the geeks all jeered, but I'll just make a bet
That Gary will live on in infamy... he was the meanest man you ever met!

When he walked by...
YOU GOT THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY
Gary was... was the top cat in his day
Everybody said... that he'd get his one day

Gary was... was the top cat in his day
Everybody said... that he'd get his one day

-- Down By Law
"Gruesome Gary"
All Scratched Up!

What Jay Learned From His Stateside Leave

• When dealing with naval bureaucracy, no news is not good news. It is merely what it is: no news.


• Never attempt international travel the day immediately following a 24-hour duty watch.


• Never shop for Navy ribbons at an Army ribbon store.


• Never underestimate the capability of clerical types to screw up everything, up to and including a cup of coffee.
