	T-shirts with stupid phrases on them...   
Scod:  	Specifically, 'Kiss Me Then Pork Me'.   
Gatesy: Yeah, that's the one. And it's sort of a Beach Boys thing... more  
	from the 'pet sounds' era...   
Yon:  	Less than the 'surf's up'... well, I dunno, 'surf's up' is later...  
	let's not get bogged down in Beach Boys history.   
Gatesy: And there's a little bit of Beastie Boys in there too.

Tripod: Then I am the pickle.   
      	 
Scod:  	It's about Kevin Bacon, by the way.

	F	   C	       D 
Gatesy: I use that term rather liberally.   
   	F	     C		 D 
	Then Pauline busted some rhymes for me.   
       
Gatesy: (Rapping) You feelin' like you failed,   
   	Now ya sittin' in gaol,   
   	The only thing you have for a toilet is a pail.   
       
   	But Kevin, stop dancin'   
   	And listen to me, I'm Pauline Hanson,   
   	I'll get ya out of here, gotta listen to my plan, son.   
       
Yon:  	(Normally) Okay, so now she starts talking. Okay, so what there is is, right...   
Gatesy: Why have you stopped bustin' out the rhymes, man?   
Yon:  	'Cause there's a lot of information in this next bit and I think it'll be a

Gatesy: No!   
       
   	Pauline... Pauline, tell me about that plan.   
Yon:  	Oh, yeah...   
Gatesy: About escaping, yeah?   
Yon:	Yeah. Okay, so there's an alpaca, right? You know, you probably see him  
	around - the gaol alpaca.   
Gatesy: Oh, the gaol alpaca!   
Yon:  	And I reckon if you can get him up to about 70 miles per hour, I reckon  
	you can clear that fence.   
   	You know, Steve McQueen-like.   
Gatesy: Cool. Fantastic.   
Yon:  	That's basically it.
