524. Subject: F---tards
Probably been done similarly before... but to the tune of Data's 'Life forms' from ST:Generations:

F--- tards
You rotten little f--- tards
I want to burn you, f--- tards
Come and die
Ch-ch-chk-chk-chk-chk-*SLAP*

  • 523. Subject: The St. Ream Worker's Song
    (To the tune of Process Man by Great Big Sea)

    Chorus:

    And it's talk boys talk
    They'll time your every call
    And every day you're in your cube
    You'll want to end it all
    But you talk....

    Well a Tech Agent am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
    I troubleshoot among the fish that call all day and cry,
    There's lusers all around me and the management's a joke,
    The tools are down, your boss' a clown and the fish you'll want to choke

    Chorus

    Well I've worked among the servers and I've seen them up in smoke
    I've listened to more bullshit that it neigh' on makes me choke
    I've been hundreds deep in endless queues, got sick with the swine flu
    Been workin' rough, I've screamed enough that my face has gone blue

    Chorus

    There's no VTO or overtime or incentives galore
    They lied to you in training so that you'd come back for more
    And soon you just don't give a damn and you're slacking on the job
    For all the calls within these walls, will make you want to sob

    Chorus

    Well a Tech Agent am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
    I troubleshoot among the fish that call all day and cry,
    There's lusers all around me and the management's a joke,
    The tools are down, your boss' a clown and starfish you'll want to choke

    Chorus (x2)

  • 522. Subject: The Starfish

    Based on The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raven

    Once upon a helpdesk query, while I pondered, meek and teary,
    Over many a file and curious volume of forgotten LOLs,
    While I shuddered, nearly snapping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of starfish woke from napping, yapping at my chamber door.
    "Tis some visitor," I uttered, "tapping at my chamber door -
    . . . Only this, and nothing more."

    Argh, distinctly I remember the sudden urge to hack, dismember,
    And each separate dying member writhed its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morning; - vainly had not heed the warning
    From the economic downturn - news of staff cuts more and more -
    For the ones who used to work here, colleagues, friends and even more -
    . . . Nameless here for evermore.

    And the starfish sad incautious clicking on each purple monkey
    Chilled me - billed them for fantastic errors never seen before;
    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
    "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door —
    Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; —
    . . . This it is, and nothing more."

  • 521. Subject: Addicted To Lart

    Based on Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer
    http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/robert+palmer/addicted+to+love_20116935.html


    Their lights are on, but they're not home
    Fish call you on the phone
    Your hands clench, your fists shake
    Another fish, is what it takes
    You can't sleep, you can't eat
    There's no doubt, you're I.T.
    Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
    Another fish, is all you need

    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to lart

    You see the signs, but pay no heed
    You're listening, till your ears bleed
    Their lips flap in double time
    Another fish you'll lose your mind, your poor lost mind
    You can't be saved
    Oblivion is all you crave
    If there's some left for you
    You don't mind if you do

    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to lart

    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart

    [instrumental break]

    Their lights are on, but they're not home
    Fish call you on the phone
    Your fists clench, your teeth grind
    Another fish, you'll lose your mind
    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to lart

    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to lart

  • 519. Subject: Part 2
    You're thinking it over
    But you just can't sort it out
    Does she want someone to tell her
    What they think it's all about
    She claims to be the one and only
    Who's sad and lonely
    She's reaching for the top
    Well, she keeps on neeping an nopping
    And it's never gonna stop
    It's never gonna stop
    It's never gonna, never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop

    She's not willing to compromise
    Or deal with infinite red tape
    You're who she bought her PC from
    So you'd better fix netscape
    Turn her PC on, tune her PC up
    She can't get logged online
    She just can't seem to realize
    That she hasn't phoned up the right line
    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants her service free
    She doesn't really give a damn you're not her ISP
    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants her service free
    You're using terms, she doesn't know, like TCP/IP

  • 518. Subject: A parting gift as I am back to school
    To the tune of Magic Power by Triumph

    Something's on the other end of the line
    You don't know what it is
    It sounds like the fish you weren't hoping to find
    But you're not sure if she is
    Then you start hearing the neeping
    And a voice comes crystal clear
    A luser does the talking
    Says things you don't want to hear

    You're young, you're wild and your service should be free
    I've got the magic power of a customer in me
    You're young, You're wild and your service should be free
    Got the magic power of a customer in me

    She climbs into bed
    She pulls the covers overhead
    And she phones her local tech
    She's had a rotten day
    So she's gonna make
    This guy's life a living heck

    He can't make her feel much better
    Or bring her closer to her dreams
    That little salesman's lying
    Made the service better that it seems

    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants her service free
    She doesn't really give a damn you're not her ISP
    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants her service free
    You're using terms, she doesn't know, like TCP/IP

    517. Subject: Lock the Taskbar
    So I couldn't find a previous version of this (and hope I'm not remaking the wheel).

    Again, I want to thank whomever gifted me with a star so I can inflict things like this upon all of you. It seems healthier somehow to have the voices speaking to others.

    Lock the Taskbar (in the style of the Clash's 'Rock the Casbah')


    Now the tech tells the starfish
    To click with the right
    Stunned silence on the phone line
    Drooling left and right
    The starfish mumbles "What's this?"
    Starts clicking everywhere
    Windows multiplying
    Tech pulling clumps of hair


    CHORUS:
    "I really wanna click there!"
    Unlocks the taskbar
    No more taskbar
    "Wha happen to da clock thing?"
    Tech goes *headdesk*
    Penalty reboot!


    By reason of Security
    The OS is locked down
    Removing admin access
    Should bring the call times down
    But starfish have their methods
    Of circumventing rules
    And neeping random garbage
    And breaking all their tools


    CHORUS


    The onsite tech arrives
    The desktop has no space
    "I need all those icons!"
    (I need to melt your face.)
    The browser's full of toolbars
    Chant 'Fists of death be still'
    "So where's the Start button?"
    Brings out the urge to kill


    CHORUS


    The tech brings out his toolkit
    With cleaning tools galore
    The drive is full of spyware
    "Yeah well, it worked before!"
    A gleeful reverie
    Of causing massive pain
    Is broken by a dim-witted
    "What do I do again?"
    The cables all get unplugged
    The system gets sent back
    The tech leaves pen and paper
    "Now first, you master that"


    CHORUS


    The starfish don't like it
    Lock the taskbar
    (Strip their access)
    We really come to hate it
    "Where's the start thing?"
    (Want to hurt you back)
    "I want your supervisor!
    "Where's Bonzi Buddy?"
    (Rub a lamp, twit)

  • 516. Subject: Stuck Here With Tards On The Phone

    Song for beatmewithastick.... created by figglywig, all credit to them, and with apologies to Stealer's Wheel... (Stuck In The Middle With You)

    Well, I hate to have to pick up the phone
    with the starfish who just all piss and moan,
    Makes me wanna hit my palm to my face,
    And then go and thin out the human race.
    Tards to the left of me,
    Tards to the right,
    here I am -
    Stuck here with tards on the phone.

    When they call, they all just neep and they nop,
    How I wish that off a cliff they would drop.
    I need another package of Tums -
    It seems that all our users are dumb.
    Tards to the left of me,
    Tards to the right,
    here I am -
    Stuck here with tards on the phone.

    Well, I stared out quite cheerful,
    But now, I need a beer-ful, man...
    And they wonder now just why I drink,
    Makes me want to smack them and say
    Think!....
    Think!....

    Trying to get through one more day,
    Wishing they would all go away,
    Feeling like I'll run out the door,
    'Cause I don't think I can take anymore.
    Tards to the left of me,
    Tards to the right,
    here I am -
    Stuck here with tards on the phone.

    Well, I stared out quite cheerful,
    But now, I need a beer-ful, man...
    And they wonder now just why I drink,
    Makes me want to smack them and say
    Think!....
    Think!....

    Well, I hate to have to pick up the phone
    with the starfish who just all piss and moan,
    Makes me wanna hit my palm to my face,
    And then go and thin out the human race.
    Tards to the left of me,
    Tards to the right,
    here I am -
    Stuck here with tards on the phone.
    Stuck here with tards on the phone.

    Compulsive blogger, your prose is so weak
    Can't even decide to be ORSUM or 1337.
    Who thinks you're funny? Reading your content.
    When you read the feedback you just get upset.

    Psychologic-ly you are a fruitcake.
    I.Q. total equals zero sum.
    Gramma-tical-ly your content's barely
    "See how they run"

    Compulsive blogger, get it off your chest
    Wonder if you've managed yet to leave the nest.

    See how they run
    Compulsive blogger, living in your head.
    Get out of your house and see the world instead

    Adventures of your cat are never ending.
    Don't talk about your puppy dog instead.
    Libel prosecution suit is pending.
    See how they run

    Compulsive blogger, you've been indiscreet.
    Lawyers take your site down after just one week.

    Violent Night
    By David Pogue, excerpted from MacWorld Magazine, December 1996
    (Sung, if possible, to the tune of "Silent Night")

    Silent Mac, broken Mac!
    System bombed, screen went black.
    Books suggested things; I tried 'em all:
    Shift key, desktop file, clean reinstall.
    Now my deadline is tight,This Mac's been silent all night.

    Violent night, horrible night!
    Lost my cool, filled with spite,
    Threw my Mac through the balcony door
    Watched it fall from the 20th floor,
    Now I'm sleeping in peace; Thank God I had it on lease.

    To the tune of I Feel Pretty, from West Side Story...

    I hate people!
    Stupid people
    I hate children, and women, and men!
    And it's simple
    I just want to stab them in the eyes with my pen.

    I loathe people!
    All the people
    No matter their race or creed!
    And I triple
    My eternal loathing if they try to breed.

    See the stupid person in that office there!
    How could such a stupid person be?
    Such a stupid oaf!
    Such a stupid git!
    Such a stupid prat!
    Calling after me!

    I hate people!
    Loathsome people
    I hate them twenty-four/seven each day!
    And I'll cripple
    Every dumbass who gets in my way!

    I hate people!
    Can't stand people!
    Can't stand rednecks or Hoosiers or you!
    And I'd quibble
    With any jerk who doesn't hate them too

    Hear the stupid moron on my speakerphone!
    How fucking stupid can he really be?
    Stupid questions here!
    Stupid questions there!
    Answer every one!
    Then he questions me!

    I hate people!
    Stupid people!
    I hate people and all of their noise!
    For I'm doomed
    To support all of their technical toys!

    Otis tings, are you listening
    Starfish sleeves, snot is glistening
    Now somethings not right
    We're happy tonight
    Talking with a starfish on the phone

    Did you reeee-start the modem
    Have you innnn-stalled the drivers
    You've counted the lights
    No "four" is not right
    Talking with a starfish on the phone

    In the office we all have our Georges
    They pretend they take most of the calls
    He'll say "Are you busy?", we'll say "No man"
    But that was wrong 'cause now we'll do it all

    Later on, we'll perspire
    As George buuiilds up a fire
    To burn evidence
    Of incompetence
    Talking with a starfish on the phone

    In the bosses office is a bar-fridge
    It's filled up with bottles cold and brown
    We'll sign-off and have ourselves a party
    Pretending there's no starfishes around

    Otis tings, ain't it thrilling
    Starfish blood is a spilling
    We'll frolic and play, in psychotic ways
    Tinking all the starfish cross the head

    Tinking all the starfish cross the head

    Tinking all the starfish cross the head

    We'll be.. Tinking all the starfish cross the head

  • 506. Subject: The I.T. Man
    AussieFoot sent me this song to post.

    It is based upon Billy Joel’s Piano Man, the original lyrics of which can be found at:

    http://lyrics.rockmagic.net/lyrics/joel_billy/piano_man_1973.html#s02

    The I.T. Man (reinterpretation of The Piano Man)

    It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
    The regular fishes phone in
    There’s a co-worker sitting next to me
    Sobs and twitches with every phone ring

    I say, “Sir, can you tell me your ISP?”
    I don’t want to hear all your woes
    I’m so sad and I weep cause I used to be leet
    Why can't these starfishies let go

    neep n-neep, n-n-neep
    n-neep, n-n-neep, nnn-neep

    Fix what is wrong, you’re the I.T. man
    Fix what is wrong at once
    Well, the gene pool’s in need of a chlorine wash
    And you’ll have to deal with much worse

    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    I fix his PC for free
    He provides scotch ’n’ coke, and he tells a good joke
    But he still is an eye dee ten tee
    He says, “Bill Gates I’m sure is a robot, man”
    As the blood drains away from my head
    “Well I’m sure I could run Windows Vista XP
    Or just install DOS one instead”

    neep n-neep, n-n-neep
    n-neep, n-n-neep, nnn-neep

    Now Saul is a sys admin specialist
    Whos server has never been wiped
    He’ll recompile SUSE, until he gets woozy
    And probably will be for life

    And the starfish are catching new viruses
    As you think about breaking their bones
    Yes, they’re sharing a file with a trojan horse
    But at least you can hang up the phone

    Fix what is wrong, you're the I.T. man
    Fix what is wrong at once
    Well, the gene pool's in need of a chlorine wash
    And you’ll have to deal with much worse

    It’s a regular haul for a Saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    Cause he knows that it’s me hides his porn on PC

    To forget his real life for a while
    And the PC, it sounds its last death rattle
    And the HDD spins its last whirrr
    As they lower the bar, put my head in my arms
    And say, “Damn, those starfishes are wierd!”

    neep n-neep, n-n-neep
    n-neep, n-n-neep, nnn-neep

    Fix what is wrong, you’re the I.T. man
    Fix what is wrong at once
    Well, the gene pool’s in need of a chlorine wash
    And you’ll have to deal with much worse

  • Yep, combination of reading TSC and boredom with comparing versions of hundreds of source files created a need to do something "not work" and fanned a tiny ember of inspiration. The Piano Man just seemed to fit so well as I was changing the words. Can't play, can't sing, can barely create, but when the mood hits sometimes I can mod the hell out of someone elses hard work. ;) -AussieFoot

    Derelict by Young Ewing Allison (a.k.a. Fifteen Men On The Dead Mans Chest)

    Fifteen Men On The Dread Help Desk
    Fifteen men on the dread help desk
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum
    George and downsizing had done for the rest
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum
    The rate was fixed by the C.F.O.
    My IQ drained by an AOL spike
    And handset grip was marked belike
    It had been gripped
    By fingers ten;
    And minds destroyed,
    By users again
    Like brain eating ghouls from the living dead
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum

    Fifteen men of the original corp
    Dead and be damned and the rest outsourced
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum
    The super pointed his mouse at gore
    Where the starfish alas his faith had shore
    And the starfish he called back times four.
    And there they stay,
    And the telephone lines
    Ringed all day long
    To despairing sighs
    At bonzai buddy and foul limewire
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum

    Fifteen men staring at facebook
    Ten of the crew had the murder look
    Twas an uninstall or a wipe instead
    Or an Otis hole in a battered head
    And our eyes agleam with throbbing red
    And there they stay
    AOL damn their eyes
    PDAs crapped
    On synchronise
    All starfish are just contrariwise
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum

    Fifteen men of the brain bleach crew
    Users having jacked over sites so blue
    Users left hands clamped in a stranglehold
    Their right hands clicking oh so bold
    The screens filling up with sites untold
    And they stay there
    That had took the plum
    With sightless glare
    And our lips struck dumb,
    While we shared all by the rule of thumb
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum

    More was seen through the stern light screen
    Chartings no doubt where a woman had been!
    A flimsy shift on a bunker cot,
    With a thin dirk slot through the bosom spot
    And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot.
    Oh was she wench…
    Or some shuddering maid…?
    That dared the knife
    And took the blade!
    By God! she was stuff for a plucky jade
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum!

    Fifteen men on the dread help desk
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum!
    George and downsizing had done for the rest
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum!
    We write 'em all up on the TSC
    There's twice ten times what we've time to see
    And we heave over 'em and block our sight
    With a No-Please-No!
    And a What The Hell!
    And a sullen plunge
    On a soiled Dell
    Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell!
    Oh-God-No and a bottle of rum!

    Story behind why I wrote this. I pulled into a Walmart parking lot on my Harley. I've got on a leather jacket, leather chaps, leather gloves, and tinted reflective goggles. As I'm taking off my helmet, a family walks past me and a 4-year boy keeps pointing at me and telling his mom, "Bad man! Bad man!" I thought, WTF stereotypes are the parents teaching their kids? A bad man? I'm retired USAF, am a computer tech, and have a masters degree. Yeah, I'm a real "bad man." So this song is for all the computer techs out there who ride motorcycles :) Apologies to Steppenwolf.... Don't know why the question marks appear below. Probably got the HTML code screwed up (Safari doesn't play well with TSC). Maybe a mod can fix tha for met. Hey Hawk, I've haven't got my T-Shirt from my renewal a few months ago.

  • Shame knuckleheads think that about people that ride cycles. My brother and his wife have been riding Harleys for years. Each year they do rides for charity, the group makes sure there's money available for disabled kids that need surgeries or other medical treatments or even trips to places like 6 Flags along with their families. They have raised over $10,000 several years in a row now. I say 'ride on dude, ride on' and let those knuckleheads who are most likely the worst of the starfish live in their own little world of stupidity and ignorance. -NanoGeek
  • I know what you mean nanogeek. I ride with the Patriot Guard riders who help to ensure that the families of those KIA overseas do not have to see or hear the idiot protestors. One of our members is the step father of Byron Fouty. Bryron and another Army soldier were MIA for over one year. Their remains were recently found. Bryon's family wants PGR to be at the funeral. As you have hinted at, bikers are some of the most kind hearted people you will meet. They will gladly ride to a charity event to raise $ for the event even though it cost them a lot of gas $ to get there. Tough looking exteriors, but teddy bear hearts behind those leathers. The song was a tongue in cheek response about the stereotypes about bikers. -crazymactech
  • With the way gas prices are going, we may all end up riding bikes/scooters. -Stryker One
  • Another stereotype-breaker: when I was a division supervisor in a corporate security group, ($1B company), we put out an alert to all of our security reps to watch over the bikes that employees rode in, because there was an epidemic of thefts from high-end Harleys... of course, the fellow who came riding in on his Harley the most on Saturday mornings was one we really wanted to protect- it was our C.F.O.! I really wanted to be around sometime when he might have gotten the "bad man" response, just to ease over and enlighten the poor fools! -Voz
  • My adoptive mother (50 yrs older than me) was one of the deluded individuals who thought everyone who owned a motorcycle was scum of the earth -- and consequently she'd be spinning higher revs than a Harley running flat out on a steep downgrade if she knew Mr. Lowlyte & I are teaching Lowlyte Jr. that, short of folks from the local SCA and our fellow Blue Blaze Irregulars, bikers are apt to be the nicest people and the most likely to help you out of a jam. My MIL thinks bikers are fine friends to have, but doesn't like their machines; of course, that kinda comes with the territory of being a retired orthopedic nurse... -lowlyte
  • Heh, yesterday on the way home from a lovely evening @ a bar by the beach, Mrs. Paradise and I are at a right-hand turn at a busy 4-way intersection. We're in a right-turn lane with a yield sign, and I get to it just after the light changes and there's traffic heading through the intersection right for me. Then this group of 4 bozos on bikes passes me on the right, and pulls onto the road *with the oncoming traffic*, all 4 of them right after another. No helmets, no leather, they're wearing shorts and flip-flops. "Great," says Mrs. P. "Another batch of drunken Sunday riders trying their damnedest to become organ donors." THOSE are the folks that give bikers a bad name. -SalParadise
  • CMT - the Patriot Guard Riders are awesome. I attended the funeral of my then-fiance's brother, who was killed in Iraq, about a year and a half ago. Members of the PGR came and provided escorts and protection from the idiots who were "protesting" his funeral. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. -Seamyst

    But app-ar-ent-ley I'm off of topic, when I talk to her
    Now every time I go to log-in, I think to myself "shoot..."
    "..I wonder how long it will be, before I get the mute"


    I'm chatting off-topic, oooh-whoa-oooh
    I'm chatting off-topic, oooh-whoa-oooh
    I'm chatting off-topic, oooh-whoa-oooh
    And I startin' to get flamed: "HEY! Log off now!"
    And I startin' to get flamed: "HEY! Log off now!" "Yea"


    I used to think this was a freedom, I could say what I want
    Too late I figured it all out, no tangents or taunts (not even one taunt)
    Now I didn't get banned for the weekend, or even five days...no, no, no
    I got kicked right out of the channel, this ban's here to stay (in-def-i-nite-ly)


    I'm chatting off-topic, oooh-whoa-oooh

  • 495. Subject: When I'm Fixing Windows
    This isn't my song, but I found it on the BBC News site (here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/01/bill_gates_you_asked_the_quest_1.html) as a comment on a blog and I had to post it. All credit goes to the original author.

    Now I go fixing Windows
    To earn an honest bob
    For a computer whiz kid
    It's an interestin' job

    Now it's a job that just suits me
    A Windows fixer you would be
    If you saw what’s on this PC
    When I’m fixing Windows

    Windows XP, Vista too
    You’ll have seen them nothing new.
    You'd be surprised what PCs do
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    The user dating on the Net
    Looking for it you can bet
    I'd rather have that than a pet
    When I’m fixing Windows

    The web designer has a thought
    A new domain he has just bought
    Sticks his USB in the port
    When I’m fixing Windows

    I know a fella, such a fool
    He wastes his time, that's his rule
    While he’s about he looks so cool
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    DVDs lyin’ side by side
    Sexy ladies I have spied
    I've often seen what goes inside
    When I’m fixing Windows

    ------ banjo ------

    A famous screensaver’s been seen
    It looks a flapper on the screen
    It's more like flashing but it’s clean
    When I’m fixing Windows

    It pulls the clothes off down behind
    Then pulls off her... never mind
    It’s amazing what clutter I find
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    An old maid’s profile goes online
    She's so fed up, but that is fine
    She's happy once she has seen mine
    When I’m fixing Windows

    When I’m fixing Windows...

  • 494. Subject: The OWA Before Christmas
    (based loosely on IRC events, and even looser on 'the night before Christmas')

    'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the channel,
    Not a member was stirring (OWA flew off the handle);

    The bodies were stacked by the chimney with care,
    And blood-stained knives lay around everywhere;

    War1ock was first, whom OWA disemboweled,
    As he cackled like the joker, an' hooted, an' howled;

    Next up came Helix, who started to run,
    Which knowing the OWA, just made it more fun;

    Then Ether, and Happy, and Murdock, and Kat,
    (The Rabbit deserved it, let's leave it at that);

    He caught up to Virus, and ran N-A-V,
    Which wetware nor not, 'twas the end of he;

    Then enter the Half, and Splunge and Cog,
    And 58 knives, and 1 bloody fog;

    He turned his attention upon mister Swine,
    A stab, and a slash, and a "Heh, EndOfLine";

    Poor Mahal and Veinor, and ol' NR too,
    They used to be mods, and now they're just goo;

    What happened to Sauron was a frightful thing,
    He ain't getting back up, he ain't getting his ring;

    SysOp watched events, with hardly a care,
    Just hoping that vodka, soon would be there;

    He set his sights on SpitefulTech next,
    And put to shame every good horror text;

    Then Dread and PID1, and then MCV,
    Oh the terrible things he did to those 3;

    He eventually caught up, with good ol' Gashach,
    Whom he covered in napalm, and then lit a match;

    Up next came TrainButt, and poor SmellyStu,
    HairTech escapes (but returns in part 2);

    Then good ol' Grue came to break up the fight,
    Which was about when, OWA switched to thermite;

    There isn't much talk of that Christmas no more,
    But PM the OWA...I'm sure he'll add more.

    Telephone rings, you aren’t listening,
    You are lame, you ain’t glistening
    A terrible fright,
    On the phones tonight.
    Talking to a brain-dead idiot.

    Gone away is the bluebird,
    Here to stay is a new bird
    (The middle finger),
    As I drone along,
    Talking to a brain-dead idiot.

    In the traffic I wish you would frolic,
    Then get run over a thousand fold.
    I'll say: I won’t miss you
    No one else will.
    And you can go to hell,
    F***ing starfish.

    Click on Start, on the taskbar,
    Not the reset, on the tower
    Get out of fdisk,
    Or your files, you will miss,
    Talking to a brain-dead idiot.

    You over-clocked your Intel with a spare key
    And neep and nop that your processor’s blown
    Claim that it’s still under our warrantee,
    But I will laugh so hard that I make brown.

    You complain, I get migraines,
    The whole time, I’ll be billing.
    We'll frolic and play, the Otis-brand way,
    Talking to a brain-dead idiot.

  • 492. Subject: In the Neep Midwinter
    With apologies to Harold Darke, author of the original "In the bleak midwinter". Still, $midwinter_festive is nearly upon us, so raise a glass of your tipple of choice, and salute those TSC members that may have to work over the holiday.

    In the neep midwinter, starfish calls made moan
    Brains as dumb as iron , skulls as thick as stone
    Woe befallen, woe on woe, woe on woe
    In the neep midwinter, long ago

    Oh god, we cannot kill them; murder must refrain
    Sense and Reason flee away, passing through their brain
    In the neep midwinter, our fun they try to douse
    Saying "God Almighty", I NEED A MOUSE!

    Enough for them, who have no clue, how they have fucked up,
    A disk full of pron, and a film (two girls, one cup)
    Enough for them, whom techies line up to beat-
    their skulls in with Otis, for a LART so sweet.

    Helpdesk and the admins, may have gathered there
    LOLCATZ and BOFH-quotes thronged the air
    But only the starfish, said "come take a look, "
    "at the six hundred friends I've made on my Facebook."

    What can I give them, bored as I am?
    If I weren't so jaded, I would give a damn
    If I were respected, I would give a toss
    Yet what I give, is their worth: utter dross

    Christmas in IT is a funny old time
    Yes I’m afraid this is gonna be in rhyme
    We don’t put tinsel on the servers or balls on the PC
    We might break for cookies and a nice cup of tea
    No making the network play old Christmas songs
    Nor snowball fights in LAN rooms, that’s just totally wrong
    Getting drunk on whisky and singing rude rhymes?
    Well we do do that, but not on company time
    There are some bright lights on the Christmas tree
    But seeing as we’re geeks, they’re all USB
    No asking Santa for wishes or sitting on his knee
    We would ask our managers, but they’re never quite free
    So that’s the happy xmas and merry new year
    Poetry time over, lets go get a beer

    ‘Til it’s time for my smoke break
    I’ve been tired all day, can’t concentrate
    Maybe I should have come in late.

    Starfish call going “neep neep nop”
    Wanting TPS reports that I ain’t got.
    I just want to hit ‘em with my clue-by-four,
    Flip the bird and walk out the door.

    Oh no, not again
    Another help ticket?
    Don’t they understand?
    No motivation…..
    No motivation (shun-shun).

    Management asking for another change
    How many bad decisions can they make?
    Better back off you bloody sods,
    I’m gonna kill someone I swear to God

    Oh no, not again
    Where’d I put Otis?
    Don’t they understand?
    No motivation…..
    No motivation (shun-shun).

    5 o’clock is almost here,
    Screw a nap just give me a beer.

    Give me the chance I'd do it all again.

    My heart by yours until the end of time

    The night you fell I sold them out for a price--
    My promise to see your boy a man.
    Your Harry dared it all
    And he risked his mother's fall
    Surely Dumbledore he had a plan.
    Surely Dumbledore he had a plan.

    At this Bannockburn Death Eaters' hearts will turn

    Yet I cannot help but fret

    And my body now lies dead and disdained.
    And my body now lies dead and disdained.

    He's as bold as a lion, he's as clever as a snake

    We who bear the burden of knowledge hear your cry, but are numb to it.

    We have trained and supported and demonstrated and fixed and changed and updated and uploaded and installed and worked around to no avail.

    We have defragged and uninstalled and degunked and rebooted and rebuilt and reformatted and removed spyware to the end of days.

    We have lectured and asked and begged and cursed and wheedled and bargained and explained but our words fall on deaf ears.

    We are Legion.
    We are Tech Support.

    Do you like

    Would you? Could you?
    In your car?
    We've got wifi!
    It reaches far.


    I would not,
    could not,
    in my car.


    You may like them.
    You will see.
    You may like them
    through RDP!


    I would not, could not through RDP.
    Not in my car! You let me be.


    I do not like them on a Mac.

    Some gain! Some gain!
    Some gain! Some gain!
    Could you, would you,
    if we cranked the gain?


    Not with better gain! Not with RDP!

    I do not like them ANYWHERE!


    I do not like
    blue screens
    and spam!


    I do not like them,
    Tech-I-am.


    You do not like them.
    So you say.
    Try them! Try them!
    And you may.
    Try them and you may, I say.


    Tech!
    If you will let me be,
    I will try them.
    You will see.




    (at this point the user gets pissed-off, and uses the blue-screens and spam as an excuse to take a 1 hour smoke break)




    Say!
    I like blue screens and spam!
    I do! I like them, Tech-I-am!
    And I would like them on sick days.
    And I would like them with a raise...


    And I will like them while in Spain.
    And in the park. And with more gain.
    And in my car. And through RDP.
    They are so good, so good, you see!


    So I will like them on a Mac.
    And I will like them from a hack.
    And I will like them in your cube.
    And I will like them in the nude.
    And I will like them here and there.
    Say! I will like them ANYWHERE!


    I do so like
    blue screens and spam!
    Thank you!
    Thank you,

    Yes, I know it's poetry and not a song, farking bite me

    There was this young technician
    Of near notorious fame
    Noted for wearing long black cloaks
    You might have guessed her name

    One day she got an urgent call
    ‘Oh please help out’ they cried
    ‘Our diaries won’t print out right’
    ‘And the help files all are fried’

    So off she went to the top Floor
    All dressed up in her suit
    Created whole new profiles
    And waited for a reboot

    And lo! The diaries printed out alright
    Our technician felt less like a berk
    But then came the dreaded cry
    ‘While yer here, our printers don’t work’

    But if you want to know what happens
    This saga hasn’t come to an end
    Just don’t call our cloaked technician
    She’s gone clear round the bend…..

    A data type re-order
    Relegating old bytes
    To the far unlit unknown

    Buying up the ISO one-sided
    Opinions all provided
    The future pre-decided
    Detached and subdivided
    From the market speaking drone

    Nowhere is the hacker
    Or the guru so alone

    Subdivisions ---
    In the MBR
    From the CD-R
    Linux will be passed out
    Subdivisions ---
    In the WiFi zones
    In the laymen's homes
    Windows will be cast out
    Any escape might help redeem
    That annoying blue screen
    But Windows causes some to scream
    An uncouth sailor's stream

    Drawn like sheep they boot up the PC
    The OS installation
    The start-up hesitation
    Waiting for the GUI
    Just to browse the internet

    Some will shirk the constricting grip of Bill G
    And switch to GPL3
    And control their PC
    And start to see that software
    Doesn't always have to crash

    Sometime everyone will see
    The monopoly as history...

  • If you know Spider Robinson and the Callahan's books, but CAN'T hear Jake, Spider himself has sung a few of the songs from the series; clips can be found at http://www.spiderrobinson.com/music.html -- but I haven't vetted them yet and can't swear the excerpts aren't as NSFW as some of the whole things. $Diety knows I can't let my kid listen without having to explain a whole lot more about men and women than he's ready for, though he adores the puns. -lowlyte
  • 475. Subject: Theme Song For "The StarFish Family"


    They're crazy and they're kooky,
    A little slow and spooky,
    They're always acting moody,
    The StarFish Family.


    Their PC is a nightmare,
    Their people skills just ain't there,
    They make techs pull out their hair,
    The StarFish Family.


    So get a pot of caff' on,
    You know the call may be long,
    Just try not to yell out 'kahn',
    The Star-Fish Fa-mi-ly.
