   Not too many people were shocked when Al Gore III was pulled over last
   week for speeding, drug possession and having a trunkload of
   counterfeit carbon credits. What was surprising was that he was
   clocked at more than 100 mph in a Prius! I'm not a motor-head like
   [1]Jroosh, but that's a speed I thought was approachable only if the
   car were dropped very high from a crane at the Sturgis Bike Rally.
   Obviously there are a lot of easy jokes that can be (and were) made. I
   appreciate it when someone works a little harder for the humor, which
   is why I especially liked Nancy's musical treatment at [2]Away With
   Words:

     I feel a song coming on (in the spirit of the Beachboys, the
     Daytonas, and Jan and Dean):
     Hybrid Synergy Racin' Machine
     I was cruisin' downtown in my Toyota Prius
     - Cruise, little Prius! Whoosh! Whoosh!
     Doing 50 mpg, just like they guarantee us.
     - Conserve, little Prius! Whoosh! Whoosh!
     When a big bad Hummer came up alongside
     Said, "Hey, Granola--ready to ride?"
     I said, I know what you're thinking--I'm an herbal-tea wuss.
     - Rev, little Prius! Shush! Shush!
     And I'll never catch up in my Toyota Prius
     - Glide, little Prius! Shush! Shush!
     Yeah, my engine is silent--but it's deadly, too
     So buckle up, baby, 'cause I'm gunnin' for you.
     Girl's voice: "No, Al! No, Al! No, Al! Nooooooo!"
     [refrain]
     Well, I run on electric and I run on gas
     Ain't nobody here gonna kick my ass.
     Prius is green--yeah!--but Prius is mean,
     It's a hybrid synergy racin' machine.
     I push-button-started and began to roll
     - Go, little Prius! Zip! Zip!
     Passed the Hummer, a Porsche, and the Highway Patrol.
     - Fight, little Prius! Zip! Zip!
     I was doin' a hundred on the southbound 5
     Lost the Hummer on a curve, more dead than alive.
     [refrain]
     Well, I run on electric and I run on gas
     Ain't nobody here gonna kick my ass!
     Prius is green--yeah!--but Prius is mean,
     It's a hybrid synergy racin' machine.

   Whoa - talk about your little juiced coupe! I wonder if there's any
   coming back from Dead Man's Surge? Oh well, I guess Al III will have
   fun, fun, fun 'til Daddy takes the Prius away!
