You can't torpedo spending if you're torpedo spending.
Parody of Morgan Wallen's "Need A Boat," written and performed by Remy. Music tracks mastered by Ben Karlstrom.
LYRICS
This draft bill don't look fine right now
And it ain't doing the trick (No…)
We're so dangerously indebted now
And this adds to the debt.
It adds one, two trillion, that's not great.
But what if we add something manufactured in your state?
Would a bridge change your mind? No, but if anything can
It'd be me on a dock pushing off of dry land.
I need a lake, a ship built in my state.
I'd even take a fleet.
Can one of them be named for me?
Sir, we're running out!
Yeah, what I need right now…
Are some real high ceilings
New-ship feeling
Me on the deck just-a sipping on Darjeeling
Don't need no sad song on my Spotify
Crying "he lost an election to a punk guy"
I need a boat.
I need a boat.
Can you talk some sense into him?
Don't care if it's a pontoon, brand-new, been used
Long as it's got bombs (Yes…)
Just wanna cast it out yonder, let that thing wander
To Iraq or to Iran.
I'm tired of running into all my friends'
Faces they put on a post office
A bit more inflation never hurt no one—
How's that make you feel? Nauseous.
I need a lake, a ship built in my state.
I'd even take a pond
Provided there are extra bombs.
Sir, we're running out!
Yeah, what I need right now…
Is a boat so brassy
Missiles classy
And if the bill doesn't pass? We'll just blame Thomas Massie.
Don't need no sad song on my Spotify
Crying "he lost an election to a punk guy"
I need a boat. I need a boat.
I need a boat. I need a boat.
Real, real bad.

Now do an Mmmm Bop version.
Those chicks were cute.
You know who else said they need a boat?
Rapefugees wanting to travel to western Europe?
The town constable in Jaws?
Passengers on the Titanic post iceberg collision?
Gilligan? The skipper, too? The millionaire, and his wife? The movie star? The professor and Mary Anne?
Me, to load with all my guns before the tragic accident?
Glad that people are waking up and realizing that Porridge Brain Biden isn't the only one with a spending habit.
So, what are the democrats and republicans going to do once the US economy collapses because of the massive debt?
I have yet to receive a prudent answer on the topic.
Perhaps some of you readers on this site can help me out here.
Once the US economy collapses?
That shit does SNOT matter, so long ass we PUNISH all of the BAD people!!!
BAD people like illegal sub-humans, trannies, accused “groomers”, abortionists, gays, heathens, infidels, unbelievers, vaxxers, mask-wearers, atheists, dirty hippies, commies, Jews, witches, or, the very WORST of them all, being one of those accused of STEALING THE ERECTIONS OF OUR DEAR LEADER, right, right-wing wrong-nuts? ANY methods are OK, so long as they are used against the CORRECT enemas, am I right?
You didn't answer my question.
Give us a viable solution.
Otherwise, people might think you're just another leftist nut case.
Whatever the Roman elite did?
The Roman elite, over a few hundred years, sent their empire into oblivion... Into many-many pieces. Some say shit was due to high taxes and corruption, ass well ass invasion from barbarian hordes of illegal sub-humans who were SUCH udder scum that they did SNOT get Proper Pooper Papers Please! I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure... I do care about the Ancient Romans, and if I could, I surely would... Send them LOTS and LOTS (and reams and reams, and dreams of reams) of Magic Proper Pooper Papers, to turn dross into gold, with those papers-lacking illegal sub-humans! Turn them into productive citizens using Magic Papers Please!
Ozzy dead at 76. Rode the crazy train to the end of the line. Maybe I'll see him on the other side.
Died with covid? He once bit the head off a bat.
He's going through changes.
Too sad. Loved Black Sabbath and early Ozzy with Randy Rhoads.
Sad, I love me some Ozzy. But also surprised he made it this long.
Apparently Theo Huxtable has also died.
Saw him at Red Rocks in 1992 during his ‘No More Tours’ tour with Zach on guitar. Ugly Kid Joe was the opening act. Great show. R.I.P.
That would have been a good one to see. He's one of the big acts I regret never seeing. Funny to think that he was younger then than I am now, when he first contemplated giving up touring.
Never thought of it that way.
Masonic Temple, Detroit, 1981. The acoustics were unbelievable. The best I've ever been to in that regard. Completely enveloped by the music.
Nice! Though the acoustics at Red Rocks are hard to beat.
I came from SE Michigan and the Masonic was absolutely the best venue in town. Also Hill Auditorium in AA and Bowen in the backwaters of Ypsi. Nose bleed at Cobo Hall sucked so bad everybody had to pass joints around just to stay normal.
Did you drink Faygo?
Only Strohs.
I can envision a 12-year old GG riding around town on his banana seat bicycle with a Strohs in his hand.
I'll take a boat over a bunch of illegals/poor people sucking on American health care any day of the week.
The boat actually does something useful. Assuming we stop being pussies about dealing with Iran.
I'd like to at least ask for no unnecessary spending on either.
Just so long as Iran is destroyed.
And China, NK, and Russia.
After that, I'll agree with you on the necessity of the spending. Mostly because we'll have achieved world peace.
(Well... we still might have to do some "refugee" purges in Europe.)
And I need an elitist art center named after my wife!
Fucking R's are a fucking joke. Worried about name changes like the fucking SF school board.

That seems like a nice thing to do.
Sure until he upgrades to a Swedish model and we're stuck with the Former Ms. Trump Performing Art Center.
I'm OK with that too. It's actually kind of apropos.
And I should ad, less the name change that irks me, its the spending on an elitist art center that hosts the rich and famous and is pure DC Swamp.
Turn it into a rapefugee detainment facility.
Wait a minute! Exactly what kind of boat are we talking here? One of them oppressive metal jobs with guns and missiles that hurts people? Or something more eco-friendly and woke, like with rainbow sails and DEI T-shirt cannons?
Remy continues to entertain.
