That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your sun bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. -- Lord Acton
C.: I see that you changed the quote at the beginning of the blog today d.c. Why didyou do that?
d.: Because, Ca.E., until Meow Z. Tongue is subdued and put into The Kennel, we can’t rest. He has absolute power over the Cat Galaxy and he tends to use that power for evil, not good. Also, he’s planning to overthrow this planet and use it for his own good. However, I do have a plan that I think is working right now. And, with this plan, you and I can win this fight without much outside help.
C. How?
d.: Well, Meow came to Earth after most of the silly sit coms from the nineteen-seventies, eighties and nineties aired. Meow has a unique sense of humor, so I thought he might like these shows, though, and I was correct. There’s a channel that airs those shows 24/7. So, with a minimum of help from 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, I have Meow Z. Tongue captivated.
C.: How did T help with this plan?
d.: T invited Meow over to Wayne Manor to watch “The Oldies But Goodies” chanel on his giant 72 inch screen television. Then he served Meow with some premium catnip from his wilder days, before he married you. That made Meow relax, which was our plan.
Meow is so hooked on those sit coms now that he’s in a trance. Teh catnip may have helped that along. That’s where you come in.
C.: But, if T has him in a trance, what do I need to do?
d.: You now live at Wayne Manor, so you coming into that estate wouldn’t raise suspicion. So, when you get home, start a controversial conversation with T. Y’all need to be very loud. Meow won’t be able to stand the noise (do you remember how he swore off coming to Earth when you and The RoCKats were practicing just as he entered Earth’s atmosphere? He only came back because he’s afraid of what might happen if the Planet of the Talking Cats runs out of all its resources in one million catnaps).
C.: I remember when that happened, but the RoCKats and I are “on a break” right now. So, how does this plan involve me?
d.: Well, when Meow gets frustrated by the noise y’all are making, he’ll probably cover his ears, trying to block out the noise. When he does, he’ll (probably) drop the controls for his robot cat army. Then, you swiftly move in to commandeer the remote controls and all will be well with the earth and its inhabitants because we can use the robot cats to protect us (hahahahah).
C.: But, T is a really good professional cat fighter. He holds heavy weight belts in five different cat fighting categories. Couldn’t he get the remote controls away from Meow Z. Tongue when he drops them?
d.: No Cal.E., don’t you remember the way that you defeated your husband when y’all were arch enemies and had a cat fight to settle the score? You’re 0.00005 milliseconds faster than he his, so you knocked him out with a swift uppercut to the lower jaws.. That makes you the obvious choice.
C.: I just have one question, d.c.
d.: What’s that, Cal.E.?
C.: What if Meow Z. Tongue is even faster than I am? What happens then?
d.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
