I mean it doesn’t really compare with Euthanist’s or Sampiro’s recent gems, but nothing can temper that bile. Ahhh, Windows Media Player 7.

It’s **always** better for us to self categorize. You don’t want some stranger finding a hole for you, _believe_ me.

A number of other posters made their own parodies of hymns on the same subject. Sadly, I couldn’t find that thread on a search. Anyone know if it’s still available or what happened to it?

Or [the one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=201266) where I castigate in poem morons who tailgate (post #26).

Cracks me up every time I read it.
