I’ve had some time on my hands this Sunday evening and after a couple of Modelos (ok a few) I thought I’d plagiarize the Eagles “Hotel California” song for AH Legend Townsend
@Bob Nelson 35Whelen to make him happy and feel inclusive here on AH. I give you “Hotel Australia”. LOL
“On a dark territory highway
Cool wind in Bob’s hair
The pungent odor of camels
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
Bob saw a flickering light
His head grew heavy and his sight grew dim
He had to camp for the night
A bushman stood by the campfire
Bob heard the dingos howl
And he was thinking to himself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
The bushman lit up a tiki
And he showed Bob the way
There were voices in the surrounding bush
And Bob thought he heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel Australia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty to hunt in the Hotel Australia
Any time of year
You can hunt it here
Bob’s mind is .35 Whelen twisted
He’s got a Nissan pick up truck
He’s got a lot of fine shooting wildcat cartridges
That he calls his friends
How they danced around the campfire
Sweet summer sweat
Bob dances to remember but he mostly forgets
So Bob called out to the bushman
“Please bring me my Bundy”
The bushman said, “Nobody’s drank that swill since 1969”
And still those voices are calling from the bush far away
Wakes Bob up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel Australia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
There shooting game up in the Hotel Australia
What a nice surprise
Bring your own ammo
Stars in the sky
Pink Vegemite on toast
And the bushman said, “We are all just hunters here
Of our own device”
And around the campfire Bob and the bushman gathered for the feast
They stabbed the scrub bull with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing Bob remembers
He was running for his truck
He had to find the trail back
To the place he was before
“Relax, said the bushman
“We are programmed to receive
You can hunt anytime you like but you can never leave”
Welcome to the Hotel Australia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
LOL
Good night.
