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

d.: Well, I want to see if Cal.E. and T are home yet. Cal.e. took T to the vet to find out if his brain is okay. He’s been acting strange lately, and Cal.e. was worried that his cat fighting may have damaged his brain. ((ring) Cal.E. doesn’t seem to be answering her phone, so I’ll just let my mind wander.
If you go to your family reunion looking for a wife, and your family tree doesn’t have any branches, you might be....
C.: Hello
d.: oh, hi, Cal.E. How did T.’s vet appointment go?
C.: Well, since he is a cat, the vet did a CaT scan on his brain.
d.: Is he okay?
C.: I suppose, because they didn’t find anything.
d.: …Anyway, I just wanted to call and ask you to help me find a new publicity agency. Jilted, Jolted, Jaded and Just Plane disinterested don’t seem to want my business anymore.
C.: That may be a good thing for you. What would you like for me to do for you?
d.: Well, the new publicity agency will probably want to interview me, so I need to practice answering interview questions.
C.: Okay, I think I can do that. I’ve had a few interviews since I’ve been on this planet, and they all went well…
d.: But you’ve only held one job while you’ve been here.
C.: True, but then I had to be interviewed to move up to a management position, and then again when I was promoted to be the head WACO.
d.: That’s why I called you, because as the head of Working Association of Cats and Other working pets, you must interview a lot of animals for jobs.
C.: Well, yes. I had to interview all fourteen of my kittens before I gave them jobs as cage cleaners.
d.: Isn’t that nepotism?
C.: I may be small, but I don’t resemble the “Little Emperor,,” if that’s what you’re implying.
d.: No, small men and women are said to have a “Napoleon” complex if they think that they are more important than they are. Anyway, I’d like to start the interview by introducing myself.
C.: Okay, go ahead.
d.: Hello, ma’am, sir, or nonbinary individual. I’d like for you to represent me to someone who can get my television medical drama series entitled “Texas Tim the Traveling Triage Nurse”...
C.: isn’t that a little impersona?
d.: Fine. Hello, Ms. Kat, I’d….
C.: Oh, I forgot, I took Tucker’s last name.
d.: So, now your Cal.E. Tucker?
C.: No, I meant the last name that he calls himself. I’m now Ms. T.
d.: Okay, fine. Ms. T., I’t like for your agency to represent me as I’m trying to get a new television series on the air.
C.: What’s it called?
d.: I just told you that a few minutes ago
C.: Let’s see, difficult to work with. Okay, go ahead.
d.: My show is called “Texas Tim the Traveling Triage Nurse.’...
C.: I have some question, Mr. scot.
d.: Okay, I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
C.:Where is this series set, and is Tim the protagonist's first or last name? And, what’s a triage nurse. Also, where were you born, and in what year? And, does that mask come in other colors?
d.: Well, the show is set in Texas, Tim is the protagonist's first name, and a triage nurse decides which patient is priority, which one needs to be seen first by the provider.
C.: And what about the rest of my questions?
d.: The mask does come in other colors, but I refuse to answer the other two questions on the grounds that they are discriminatory.
C.: So, you’re saying that you’re old enough to qualify for age discrimination consideration?
d.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
