  Popkorn is on the case. Twelve Chinese sailors (not PLAN) have been killed on the Mekong River in Thailand. After the attack, Colonel Popkorn Khuncharoensuk found almost one million amphetamines (sic) on their ships. CNN tries to explain.

  Reminds me of a song. 1, 2, 3, 4…

  I was takin’ a trip out to L.A.
  Toolin’ along in my Cheverolet
  Tokin’ on a number and diggin’ on the radio

  Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
  I heard that highway start to whine
  And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow

  Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
  ‘Cause there wasn’t a filling station in sight
  So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim

  I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
  It was right in front of this little bar, a
  Kind of a red-neck lookin’ joint called the “Dew Drop Inn”

  Well I stuffed my hair up under my hat
  And told the bartender that I had a flat
  And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one

  Well there was one thing I was sure proud to see
  There wasn’t a soul in the place except for him and me and
  He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone

  I called up the station down the road a ways and
  He said he wasn’t very busy today
  And he could have somebody there in just about 10 minutes or so

  He said,” Now, you just stay right where yer at!”
  And I didn’t bother to tell the dern fool
  That I sure as hell didn’t have anyplace else to go

  I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
  When some guy walked in and said, “Who owns this car
  With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor?”

  Well he looked at me and I damn near died
  And I decided that I’d just wait outside
  So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

  Just when I thought I’d get outta there with my skin
  These 5 big dudes come strollin’ in
  With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth

  Now I was almost to the door when the biggest one
  Said, “You tip your hat to this lady, son!”
  And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath

  Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
  In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
  Especially when there was three of them and only one of me

  They all started laughin’ and I felt kinda sick
  And I knew I better think of something pretty quick
  So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee

  Now he let out a yell that’d curl yer hair
  But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
  And said “Now watch him Folks cause he’s a furly dangerous man!”

  “Well you may not know it but this man is a spy.
  He’s a undercover agent for the FBI
  And he’s been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!”

  He was still bent over holdin’ on to his knee
  But everybody else was lookin’ and listenin’ to me
  And I laid it on thicker and heavier as I went

  I said “Would you believe this man has gone as far
  As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
  And he voted for George McGovern for President.”

  “Well he’s a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
  I betchya he’s even got a commie flag
  Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”

  “He’s a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys
  He may look dumb but that’s just a disguise
  He’s a mastermind in the ways of espionage”

  They all started lookin’ real suspicious at him and
  He jumped up and said “Now just wait a minute Jim!
  You know he’s lyin’ I been livin’ here all of my life!”

  “I’m a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
  And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
  And I ain’t even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!”

  Then he started saying somethin’ ’bout the way I was dressed
  But I didn’t wait around to hear the rest
  I was too busy movin’ and hopin’ I didn’t run outta luck

  And when I hit the ground I was makin’ tracks
  And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
  So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up

  Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
  Of the way I was movin’ when I passed that crowd
  Comin’ out the door and headed toward me at a trot

  And I guess I shoulda gone ahead and run
  But somehow I just couldn’t resist the fun
  Of chasin’ them all just once around the parking lot

  Well they’re headed for their car but I hit the gas and
  Spun around and headed ‘em off at the pass
  I was slingin’ gavel and puttin’ a ton o’ dust in the air

  Well I had them all out there steppin’ and fetchin’
  Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin’
  but I figgered I’d better go ahead and split before the cops got there

  When I hit the road I was really wheelin’
  Had gravel flyin’ and rubber squeelin’
  And I didn’t slow down till I was almost to Arkansas

  Well I think I’m gonna reroute my trip
  I wonder if anybody’d think I’d flipped
  If I went to L.A., via Omaha

  Anybody know a gym in Seoul for indoor basketball?

  My google has so far turned up nothing specific.

  Now that the pins are out of my pelvis, I’d like to get my leg and body into shape, but I loathe cold weather and it is coming soon…
