“...and how about that Venus Swimwear catalog that arrives in the mail every winter? Oh, yeah.”

“Venus Swimwear, I haven't seen that one!

I take it you're referring to Tarpy, MarkO? He's escaped the authorities so far...”

“Good thing, Lyra!

Vermont is a good place to lay low!”

“Now why is it that thinking of Tarp Rat being on the sly made me think of this song?



Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling coke and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man

Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire"

An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught"

Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know"

The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den
The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll to to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man”

“LOL! Every time I hear The Beatle's Everyone's Got Something to Hide; Except for Me and my Monkey I think of Lyra.”

“Venus Swimwear is based here in Jacksonville. They have billboards all over town this time of year. A few years ago one of them was so revealing they had to "edit" it because of the public outcry.”

“The early morning smile of a bright-eyed dog.”

“better than the early morning brown eye of a smiling dog”

“I don't know of one yet.”

“sure you do, TT!”

“Paying taxes?”

“masturbation has probably already been listed.”

“If not it is UP there on the list”

“Get a hold on yourself!”

“There's no need to beat this any further.”

“I'm about to have a stroke!”

“lolly pops are life's simple pleasure!”

“Watching a friend open a gift and seeing their faces light up (or laughter erupt) at their gift....”
