It sure is a hoot. They're probably digging the mellow scene on Maui.
I'm digging that they're on Maui and not in my town.

Every Tom, Dick, and Matthews, think they can be an Al Capone. She made
the common amateur mistake of using a broomstick instead of a baseball
bat. Good thing Willie married a Matthews instead of a Moscone.

Wille's probably pretty good at juggling things but I guess even the

What people should know about this place is that it's dangerous here.
People are drowning in record numbers, they're falling off cliffs,
they're getting overcome by blasts of steam and sulfuric acid from the
volcano. My guess is that a lot of old farts just drop dead from too
much weed. At least they're happy though.
