Title: Piano Man

To the tune of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel 

It's five o'clock on a weekday,
I'm beginning to feel a cold sweat;
There's a C-64 sitting next to me,
It's the backbone of telstra.net.

I said, "Come, send the world an ICMP,
I don't really care where it goes;
If you cross the Pacific I'll feel just terrific,
But if it works, nobody knows."

Da, da da, de de da,
Da da, de de da, da da.

Chorus:
Send us a ping, O Pacific Link,
Send us a ping tonight,
For we're all in the mood for a minute when
You hold more than ten kilobytes.

Now, John, our beloved Prime Minister
Has an Internet stance far from love,
But he's quick with a frown if the link should fall down
While he's mailing to whitehouse.gov.

He says, "Bill, I believe you've been screwing us,
You're stifling our country's success;
Well, I'm sure that Australia deserves a bit
More than 32 Mbps."

Da, da da, de de da,
Da da, de de da, da da.

Chorus

Now, you might think it's unacceptable,
But there's no need for you to know why;
'Cause if you phone Telstra, they'll say "Go to hell, sir,"
And probably blame MCI.

And over in south California,
As the sysadmins slowly forget
That they've shared more than five thousand coffees,
Still, it's better than minding the net.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

There's some pretty high traffic for Saturday,
And it's sort of refreshing to see
That cpe4-hssi1-0's
Alive more than one time in three.

And the link feels like a casino,
As the roulette wheel once again froze,
Yes, there's 36 red and black numbers, it's said,
But they're 36 million zeroes.

Da, da da, de de da,
Da da, de de da, da da.

Chorus

Virge begins role-playing Spontanius, a Spartan with a morbid fear of 
misspellings. He was named Spontanius Coitus by his parents for 
reasons he could never fathom.

Title: "Why no work gets done by DW creators."

(cre) Dogbolter: Terano?
(cre) Terano: Aye?
(cre) Dogbolter: I will smack Dasquian for 3 of your Australian dollars.
(cre) Terano: I see..
(cre) Terano: So that's.. a pound then?
(cre) Terano: That's a great deal!
(cre) Terano: Dasquian, can you loan me a pound?
(cre) Dasquian: Sure
(cre) Dasquian: hey
(cre) Terano: Great, I owe a pound to Dogbolter, be a dear and give it to him..
(cre) Dogbolter: Done. Dasquian, I want your nose, and one pound.
(cre) Terano: [PS: I want 10% off for delivery]

(cre) Dogbolter: OK, I owe you 10c

Rhinehold - not admitting he started it by suggesting a creator punch someone in the face for him. Not at all...

Title: "All Along the Art Tower"

All Along the Art Tower

"There must be some way down from here,"
said the Bursar to the Dean.
"There's too much intrusion,
"I can't count all the beans.
Licenced thieves, they swipe my cash,
Witches eye my staff,
None of them respect my sash
my senior status makes them laugh."

"No reason to go jumping,"
the Dean, he gruffly said, 
"There were many here among us,
who Ridcully make lose their heads.
But, you and I, we know better,
And this is not our fate,
So, let us go to supper now,
The morning's getting late."

All along the art tower
Ravens kept the view
While all the wizards came and went
Scrawny students, too.

Far below in Sator Square
a large stomach did growl.
Two Chancellors were approaching,
A cabbage began to howl.

Title: "Filk - The Assassin"

Filk - The Assassin

(To the tune of Close to you, Appallogies to Burt Bacharach)

Why does DEATH, suddenly appear, 
Every time, you sneak near?
I can see, we'd rather be, 
Out of view...

Witches soon, fall down from the sky, 
When you aim, your bow high?
We can see, they're going to be, 
Cross with you.

On the day that you arrived, The p-k's got together, 
And decided to inhume your char so new... 
So they sprinkled dwarf bread in your food, 
And powdered bloat dust in your coffee too.

That is why, all the thieves in town, 
Hide away, underground.
They can see, they'd rather be, 
Somewhere new...

The next day that you arrive, They're going to get together
And with their blades they'll run your chest right though
Then they'll maim your favourite Binky doll, 
And steal your only chocolate figgin too.

That is why, all the guards in town, 
Hide inside, not a sound.
I can see, they'd rather be, 
Elsewhere too...

Much like me (Much like me), They like to be, Out of view...

Aaaaaaarrgghh... out of view. 
Aaaaaaarrgghh... somewhere new.
Aaaaaaarrgghh... elsewhere too.
Aaaaaaarrgghh... out of view.

Title: "An Ode to Ibuprofen"

An Ode to Ibuprofen
(To the can-can tune popularised by 'Spectacular Spectacular')

Some years ago, in days of yore,
The citizens were sick and sore.
"We're feeling quite inflammatory
The drugs don't work and nor do we."

The mighty GlaxoSmith & Klein
Responded to the people's whine.
They made a drug to help the ill
And kept it in a little pill....

[Chorus]
I-bu-pro-fen
It makes your headache disappear.
I-bu-pro-fen
It will make you clap and cheer.

Your rheumatism fades away
With no neuralgia for today!
The Ibuprofen stops your pain:
In minutes, you'll feel right as rain.

Your dental aches and tension cramps
Can all be treated with these tabs.
But it won't stop your hair going grey
'Cause it's a drug, not a toupe.

[Chorus]

If you're in seventh grade at school
Then this drug isn't suitable.
And careful with your allergies,
Your stomach, heart and both kidneys.

Don't operate machinery;
Don't take in late-stage pregnancy;
No more than six within one day
And see your doc if Symptoms stay!

[Chorus] x 2.

Title: "Re:#1 Who?"

Carefully concealed behind his screen, Virge Goodall observes this 
rarely seen spectacle. It starts with the female performing her usual 
provocative ploy.

The immediate disinterested response of one of the older members of 
the community is more or less expected.

Now the first contender struts up, hoping to beat some of the 
stronger males to the target. Note the outrageous display of bravado 
that he flourishes before her.

But he's not going to get it all his own way. Here comes a seasoned 
campaigner. Forget the embellishments, this male is trying the KISS 
principle.

Well, it looks like we may have to wait for a little while folks. 
She's not responding too well to the first couple of contenders. I 
think if she's patient we may see some serious rumbling in the jungle 
between the males. I'm surprised we haven't seen Tggm's competative 
twin brother Maelin looking for some action.

Title: "Re:#5 Akito at the Brothal"

Do you have a FILTHY mind?
Why would we code a brothel?
Isn't a brothel a place where, for a small fee, women can be purchased to
perform lewd, and indecent acts of the FLESH?
Where, for less than twelve dollars you can get an all over massage with a bar
of goat flavoured soap?
An establishment outlawed in every sane area due to the fact that for 19.99
you can get Long Time Dollah Love with Bendy Cindy?
A whorehouse?
A boudoir of bosoms?

Is that what you think we do?!?!?!?!? 

This is a brothal.
A place to buy broth.
A SOUP kitchen.
Nourishing foods for only a few pennies.
Not a harbour of lust, a bay of delinquecy, a repository of suppositories!

OUT FOUL FIEND, and wash your mouth!
Db
Ps, yes, the soup is too strong. I will sort.
