How is it "ripping off"? Isn't it more like better utilizing what it has? You can't rip yourself off...

Stick enough haybales on and around it and it will. :D

Maybe they could reuse the set from 2014's West Virginia Squares:

Well, that is significantly different phrasing...is it time for an episode of "Words Have Meaning"?

Please do not besmirch the good legacy of Peter Marshall by bringing up that turd in the punch bowl. I should know, I was there and among the nearly 90% of the audience that left the theater between the first and second sessions.
