For that, I could hop on a plane to Miami, go to the nearest Best Buy, come back with the thing (it costs below our customs' tax limit) and spend about the same.


Hmmm.

2. Exchange rate?
We pay attention to the real in this house, and it's been subtly kicking ass against the dollar.

6. Going to Brazil
Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds from the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines, stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna eatch the movie, can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,

Watching all the road crews attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club, goin' round the world,
All the booze is free, airline going broke,
Here come the lady with another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie, can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,

Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, John, Crazy Dil and Pappy,
Had to travel second class, they ain't to fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we're gonna die, just the pilot changing gear,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil.
