Extra! Extra! I'm in love
I gotta thank my lucky stars above
Hurry, hurry, don't be late
I can't wait, I gotta celebrate
It's a fact, we got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love the main event
You're my every thought
You're my one attraction
You must be heavensent
You give me so much satisfaction
You make life worth fighting for
You're the one
'Cause there's nobody quite like you
Honey, you're the one
Extra! Extra! I'm in love
I've gotta thank my lucky stars above
Hurry, hurry, don't be late
I can't wait, I gotta celebrate
It's a fact, we got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love the main event
Fight! Come on and fight
Fight for what you want
Fight for what you [Incomprehensible]
Fight to keep the one you love
If love is what you feel
Love, don't try to kick me when I'm down
Love, you're gonna give up without a sound
Look out, kid 'cause love's a-comin'
I'm a knockout, so put up your dukes and fight
Extra! Extra! I'm in love
Hurry, hurry, don't be late
'Cause I can't wait, I gotta celebrate
It's a fact, we got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
I've gotta thank my lucky stars above
I gotta celebrate
It's a fact, we got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
We make love
Extra! Extra! I'm in love
I gotta thank my lucky stars above
Hurry, hurry, don't be late
I can't wait, I gotta celebrate
When we make love
When we make love
When we make love

The Main Event (ballad) lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
d.: Cal.E, it doesn’t look like many people are going to show up for Tucker’s fight. Why did they rent such a large arena for such a small crowd?
C.: Oh, we have plenty of time, d.c. I wanted to get here two hours early.
d.: Why?
C.: For two reasons, to beat the crowd, and so that I could talk to you.
d.: We talk all the time on the phone.
C.: Yes, but it’s not the same as talking in person.
d.: I agree, but I also thought that you said we had ringside seats. These are nosebleed seats.
C.: We’ll move to our seats after the cleaning crew cleans them. They start at the back of the arena and work their way forward. That way, the VIP’s seats aren’t contaminated with the commoner’s germs.
d.: And yet, here we sit, in the most common of seats. Anyway, what is your prediction for your new husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nicknames) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken‘s fight?
C.: I predict that my new husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nicknames) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken will win by knockout in the first round. In fact, I’m so confident of that that I bet money on it.
d.: How much?
C.: As much as Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nicknames) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken’s bank would let me withdraw from his account.
d.: That sounds risky. After all, the opponent is undefeated.
C.: That’s because he hasn’t fought anyone.
d.: Well, opponents can be deceptive…
C.: No, I mean he has literally never been in a real cat fight. Tucker will eat his lunch, and I’ll have lunches for days, if not weeks. That depends on the odds at the time the fight starts.
Oh, look, d.c. There’s the ring vet, going to check out the fighters. You could have done that, you know, d.c.
d.: Check out the cat fighters?
C.: No, been a vet. You already see patients by yourself when the head nurse isn’t there. You come in a couple of hours before she does and stay a couple of hours after she leaves. It’s been my observation, since I started working at The Kennel, that most patients are seen either early in the day or late in the day, due to the job responsibilities of the inmates.
d.: That’s true, but I still must get the charge nurse or the provider to sign off on my paperwork. That’s a hassle sometimes.
C.: But soon, you’ll be an RN, and you’ll be in charge.
d.: Hardly, the RN still must answer to the provider, who must answer to the M.D.
C.: Well, maybe you should go to medical school. Then you won’t need to answer to anyone.
d.: I did think about that since I originally wanted to be a veterinarian. However, when I decided to change careers, I did some math. I was in my mid-forties when I started nursing school. I would have needed to take at least three years of prerequisites before applying to med school... Then, I would need to go to four years of med school. After that, an M.D. must go through. about four and one-half years of residency before I would be considered a real doctor.
C.: And?
d.: Well, I would have started trying to go to med school in my mid-forties, and the average lifespan of an M.D. is fifty-five years. By the time I would have met all the requirements to become an M.D., I would have been dead!
C.: I see that the cleaning crew is done, so we can move to our seats now. That will take some time and concentration, so I guess that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for the cat fight of the century, or, at least, a decent one (hopefully) right here on Cal.E.’s Korner.
