Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out on the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

C.: , (ring) d.c. doesn’t seem to be answering his phone quickly, so I’ll just let my mind wander whjile I wait for him to answer his phone
If Rocky had married Brandi Rhodes and decided to take her last name to be a modern man, his name would be “Rocky Rhodes.” (hee hee). (ring). And, if Brandi Rhodes had married someone with the last name of “Fine,” and decided to take his last name, her name would be Brandi Fine. When she was required to sign documents with her last name first and her first name last, her signature would read “Fine, Brandi.” What a fine girl, such a fine wife she would be (hee hee). (ring)
And, what if your last name was First? Would you name your son “Name”? Then, when he was asked to sign something first name last, and last name first, his name would read “First, Name.” (hee, hee) (rii)
“Oh, hi, d.c., what’s going on?”
d.: Nothing much, but I thought that you and your husband, Tucker Tucker Two a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken and you would be training for your next cat fight. It’s in a couple of weeks, isn’t it?
C.: It is, and that’s why I’m calling. T's off his crutches, but he thinks that he’s come to a deadend when it comes to cat fighting, so he wants to train differently. He thinks that the strenuous training that The Kennel’s officer must undergo might be a good training exercise. What must one do to become an officer at The Kennel?
d.: Well, first, they must do fifty up-downs and hit a target at ten yards with a handgun to simulate responding to an emergency from a sitting position. Then, they must run a mile in under twelve minutes. After that, they will need to be able to do fifty pushups and one-hundred situps. Then, they must hit the target on with a handgun at ten yards again.
C.: And that’s it?
d.: Well, that’s just their in service training, but that's close to what they must do to get the job.
C.: I see only one problem with that. T is in great shape, and the rest would be a breeze for my husband. However, as terms of his parole, he must never touch another handgun, even to clean it.
I’m sure that all the officers on the Z card aren’t able to do what is required at their in-service training. How do they keep their jobs?
d.: Yes, the officers with tenure who can’t meet the requirements I listed get put on the Z card, because it’s an easier schedule.
C.: How so?
d.: Well, the Z card officers can only work eight hours per day, six a.m. to two-thirty p.m. Monday through Friday. They cannot work weekends or any overtime.
C.: T may not like that schedule, but where do I sign up for it?
d.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
