The beach: Wednesday

If everybody had an ocean
 


Across the U.S.A.



Then everybody'd be surfin'



Like Californ-I-A



You'd see 'em wearin' their baggies



Huarachi sandals, too



A bushy bushy blonde hairdo



Surfin' U.S.A. 




We'll all be plannin' out a route



We're gonna take real soon




We're waxin' down our surfboards




We can't wait for June




We'll all be gone for the summer




We're on safari to stay




Tell the teacher we're surfin'




Surfin' U.S.A.



Everybody's gone surfin'



Surfin U.S.A.*



[awkward pause]

Is there a song about, um, the headless horseman? Because that was my first thought when I saw that I'd caught this picture of Grant about to dive under a wave.



And then, just a second later, all we could see were a few toes.



BREAKING NEWS: I Googled it, and there is, in fact, a song titled "The Headless Horseman" that was featured in the Disney film The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. But it's kind of gruesome:

With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop
He's out looking for a head to swap
So don't try to figure out a plan
You can't reason with a headless man.


So we're just gonna pretend I didn't find it.
