* with complicity of 5Aces in the two best rhymes. Anyone who can edit: heave away!

In the town where I was born,
Plays a team we come to see,
We are few, but we are keen,
In the land of Gold and Green!

So we’ll get the pennant won,
Workin’ the count, not selling jeans,
In our old Coliseum,
With our Golden, and our Green!

We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green

Our friends are all aboard, And the Warriors play next door,
Fingers Dan begins to play.

(organ plays)

We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green

(Full speed ahead, Mr. Melvin full speed ahead! Full speed it is, Sgt. Young
Cut the cable, Drop the cable Aye, aye, sir, Aye, aye Captain! Captain!)

As we live a life of ease(life of ease) Every one of us(every one of us) has all we need,(has all we need)
Shoes of white,(shoes of white) and alts of green,(alts of green) With our golden (In our golden) wins machine. (wins machine) ( Haha! )

We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green,
We all live for the Golden and the Green,
Golden and the Green, the Golden and the Green

Dissolves to Let’s go Oakland! clappityclapp

      last night theo asked why I say “Oh no” when the umpires are announced. Unrelated he spent a good deal of time telling me that the home plate umpire should get a new job because he was not very good at umpiring.

        Butbut cheronner, fairuuuuuuse! I mean, they aren’t very similar — one’s about baseball and the other’s about drugs, and there aren’t any drugs in baseball, and the melodies are completely, and one was written by Britishers, fer chrissakes — what do they know about baseball, and anyway the team it’s about is Not very profitable — sit DOWN, please, Mr. Upgrade — so there’s no money in it, small market and all … AND FINALLY, we are represented by one Mr. Raymond Fosse, Esq., who is ready to question the first witness, and do you Really want that?

          MR. FOSSE: How great does it feel, knowing that you can sing a song, that you have the ability to sing that song and that your teammates gave you that opportunity, despite not having much experience singing songs being a drummer, which is like being a catcher who can also run the bases, and that it’s a song about submarines which is now a song that the fans in Oakland can sing about in a completely different way from your song?

          MR. STARKEY: It doosn’t feel great all! They stole me song!

          MR. FOSSE: Permission to treat the witness as hostile.

                  did the prosecution bring up whether or not the conditions were the same in any other motion/appeal? Honestly the whole thing seems pretty stuipid because afaict the whole point of your objection is the prejudicial nature of the designation and the lack of due process not an objection to the conditions.

                  Nope. And you’re right. It is stupid. And clearly both Schroeder (the female judge) and Thomas (who brought the winning “suspension v. firing” analogy) got that. I’m not worried (too much) about losing on that, but was totally unprepared for it.
