    Weeeeeellll, then...

    Time for another 'Pidge Poll, performing my unassigned and unasked-for duty of providing a healthy outlet of catharsis to the B/S Forum. I'm keeping this one simple.

    In honor of our buddy 'pidge, I present the following song lyrics:

    Rain On The Scarecrow

    - John Cougar Mellencamp

    Scarecrow on a wooden cross
    Blackbird in the barn
    Four hundred empty acres
    that used to be my farm
    I grew up like my daddy did
    My grandpa cleared this land
    When I was five
    I walked the fence
    while grandpa held my hand

    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    This land fed a nation
    This land made me proud
    And Son I'm just sorry
    there's no legacy for you now
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow

    The crops we grew last summer
    weren't enough to pay the loans
    Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring
    and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
    Called my old friend Schepman
    up to auction off the land
    He said John it's just my job
    and I hope you understand
    Hey calling it your job ol' hoss
    sure don't make it right
    But if you want me to
    I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
    And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
    Sometimes I hear her singing
    "Take me to the Promised Land"
    When you take away a man's dignity
    he can't work his fields and cows

    There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
    Blood on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow

    Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
    Ninety-seven families
    who lost ninety-seven farms
    I think about my grandpa
    and my neighbors and my name
    And some nights I feel like dyin'
    Like that scarecrow in the rain

    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    This land fed a nation
    This land made me proud
    And Son I'm just sorry
    they're just memories for you now
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow

    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    This land fed a nation
    This land made me proud
    And Son I'm just sorry
    they're just memories for you now
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow
    Rain on the scarecrow
    Blood on the plow

    Tony just needs to stay ot of it. If Gentolozzi wins the ambulance or whatever else Tony want, they still won't be able to have a series. Whatever extra Tony has to pay Paul later will be worth it just to avoid the bad publicity of performing a eauthanasia on cart.


    Grassy knoll theory #27:

    Of course, Paul was set to go IRL racing about this time lst year and suddenly switched to cart after having had extensive talks with his "good friend" Tony.

    Can you say "double agent?" Tony and Paul could have been working together all along to pull everyone's strings and turn things in Tony's favor.

    Just a thought. There's nothing like planting those seeds of doubt.

    I read "somewhere" that Tony George is working as a super-secret front man for.....NASA!

    He will buy the various Cart assets, and then NASA will buy them from him for use in keeping the space station afloat.

    I think he should just buy the engines up front.

    And that will solve everything!!!!!
    We'll win it next year baby.
