Purple haze all in my brain
Lately, things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me (help me)
Help me
Oh, no, no, no
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Uhh, ahh
Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blow my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
No, help me
Ah, yeah, purple haze
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Tell me, girl, tell me (help me)
I can't go on like this
You're makin' me blow my mind (help me)
No, no (help me)
No, no (help me)

d.: No, that won’t work. Then I’ll, no, that won't work, either. I guess I’ll just try to find another free-standing Pong! Machine to put in my house after Penny takes the one that it took me two years to find at a pawn shop. (heavy sigh). Maybe I should call Cal.E. and see if she has any ideas, since Penny is her forty-fourth cousin three times removed. She should know her close kin better than I do.
Meanwhile, at Wayne Manor…
C.: (This mucho muy gigante screen t.v. that T. bought for almost nothing from that guy that said it was damaged because it fell off his truck is great! It’s funny that the guy selling the t.v. wasn’t standing by a truck. He was in a Honda Civic. The t.v. barely fit in the car with him driving it. However, it’s great for watching the last Astros’ game before the All-Star break. Since I had to fill in for my young tom kitten Ralph while he tours as the…stringed instrument player and backup vocalist for Beauty and the Glow fish. They’ve hit the bigtime now, going on the NIKE tour, but he’ll be back after they play back allies in Navasota, Indian Springs, Klien and Egypt.)
I put in a double shift yesterday, working a whole eight hours cleaning cages, but this Astros-Rangers’ game is interesting. Our in-state rival put the Astros out of the American League Championship Series and won the World Series last year, and the always play us tough.
Hmm, the announcer is saying that the Astros may trade for help in their starting rotation of pitchers, since so many of them have gotten hurt this year, but two young ones are doing well. Their last names are Blanco and Brown. Since the Astros want to go to a six-man rotation to save the young arms and the two colorful youngsters are doing so well, perhaps the could add more color to their starting rotation and trade for pitchers named Verde, Rojo, Amarillo and…)

“Oh, hi d.c., what’s going on?”
d.: I need your help, if you’re not busy, Cal.E..
C.: Well, right now I’m watching the Astros on our Mucho Muy Gigante Grande screen televison set.
d.: You do know that most of those words mean the same thing, don’t you?
C.: I knew that. I’ll call you back as son as the game is…
d.: Four to one.
C.: Is that the odds or the final score…oh, never mind. I see what’s going to happen now. What do you need help with?
d.: Well, Penny wants to take my free-standing Pong! Machine as payment for our case against NINE LIVES TO GIVE.
C.: Yes, and?
d.: Well, even though we have solid proof that your favorite soap opera stole our script after yo accidently texted it to your Ride-share driver when you were still eating catnip, Penny says that she examined the two manuscripts and concluded that, since the show changed the gender of the protogonist, we don’t have a case.
I don't mind paying her for her work, but I don’t want to give her the Pong! Machine. Do you have any ideas?
C.: Yes I do. My 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
earned a certificate in television repair before getting a doctorate in playing and hiding from the College of the Cat Skills and becoming a recording star. He has an ultimate set of tools, and he can fix the machine so that Penny will want to return it to you.
d.: How?
C.: Well…
d.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
