The Lyrics
Boy has this one been beaten-up! If you've made it this far, thank you!!
Stressed today, trouble started when I sped away
Hydrant plug sheared off sent geyser spray
And I believe I'm stressed today..
Suddenly, car not quite the way it used to be
Flapping hood and fender, could not see
Those Reno cops they busted me!
It was quite a show --I don't know-- that's what they say..
I did something wrong --out cold long-- I'm stressed today!
Stressed today, though my cellmate has not killed since May..
Wanting to avoid-- tonight's soiree..
Oh I believe, I'm stressed today!
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm ...(cellmate smiling..)
Hydrant plug sheared off sent geyser spray
And I believe I'm stressed today..
Suddenly, car not quite the way it used to be
Flapping hood and fender, could not see
Those Reno cops they busted me!
It was quite a show --I don't know-- that's what they say..
I did something wrong --out cold long-- I'm stressed today!
Stressed today, though my cellmate has not killed since May..
Wanting to avoid-- tonight's soiree..
Oh I believe, I'm stressed today!
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm ...(cellmate smiling..)

Well, you stressed so much you missed that the last verse should be repeated and the opportunity to expand a bit on the story by using it somewhat different, but I like the way you managed to work "soiree" in so I´m transfering you out of Bubba´s reach and into splendid isolation in cell 454.
"Wanting to avoid--tonight's soiree..." K1 beat me to the props punch, but that line alone deserves 5s from me...=) THREE of them, even...=)
I liked it, Rod
I love it! Too funny. And did you say Reno cops? Because I used to live in Carson City!
Good job ---- sounds like you'd better call the Warden, Rod!
Know1, Arwen (hey we got rhythm there!): Thanks! Youse toos, Royce and Ash! Hey Ash, have you seen coverage of the BIG fire going on right now immediately W of Carson City in the hills? Hope you don't have any friends or family in danger!
Thanks, Johnny! Your comments are alway as funny as your parodies! (Hmmm.. maybe the same guy writes them both..) Btw, my last name is commonly mispronounced as "Warden" when actually it sounds like "Werden" (Just a Small piece of trivia..)
Good one, Rod. And though Yesterday's been done to death, you've given me an idea for yet another knockoff.
I have. I was just reading some stories about the fire online this morning. The apartment complex I used to live in has been evacuated. But none of my friends are in danger, so that makes me happy. Pretty scary though. So have you ever watched Reno 911 on Comedy Central?
Ash: Glad everyone's ok. No I haven't yet, but it looks like a hoot! Have you seen it yet?
I thought I had posted a comment, but I guess I didn't. Glad I came back and checked! Wanting to avoid tonights soiree... Pure lyrical genius!!! 555
J B and Cookie-man, thanks guys!
Great job, Rod! 5-5-5.
Serafina! Thanks--but ...umm.. your vote didn't register (I had 8 prior and post your comment). Must hit vote button and say a silent prayer to Bill Gates.. Thanks again!
Very cute! I have a feeling this is one of those that will stick in my head on "those days." Good job.
Thanks, LL lady!
Oh my hell, it's one of my favorite shows. And it nails Reno. Please please please check it out!
Very clever little storyette! :-)
Tres bon!! 555
Merry and Kristof, thanks folks!
Ash: Will do, without fail! Btw, you're under arrest. You've been observed mocking a cop. This is a violation of the Patriot Act, you unpatriotic scum! Stay where you are, we're on our way.
You can't see me right now, but I'm flipping you off.
I've got a GREAT MS Paint file that you can send him if you want, Ashkicksass...
LMAO!
Nice rod. I mean, Nice, Rod. Fave bits: "geyser spray," "soiree," and the Reno 911 reference.
Thanks for stoppin' by, Spaff, really enjoy your stuff!
totally hit the nail on the head! It's a total success! more than fives across!
