Maybe you’ve got the right idea. A bumped beer can get messy.

Especially if it’s bumped into your lap.

Aw, come on. Don’t just dream of bumping it–actually bump it.

Or, as the _Rocky Horror Picture Show_ would say: Don’t dream it–be it.

It’s astounding  
Thread is growing  
Bumping takes its toll  
But bump it once more  
(Make it very much longer)  
We bump to keep control

I remember doing the time-bump  
One the Straight Dope way back when  
The Bumping would hit me  
And that bump would be calling…  
Let’s do the time-bump again  
Let’s do the time-bump again

It’s just a bump to the left  
And then a bump to the right  
With your hands on your mouse  
You bring your bumping tight  
But it’s the new bump  
That really drives you insane  
Let’s do the time-bump again  
Let’s do the time-bump again

It’s so dreamy, oh bump free me  
So you can’t bump it? Yes, bump it now  
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention  
Good at bumping, don’t have a cow.

With a bit of a mind bump  
You’re into the time bump  
And nothing can ever be the same  
You’re bumped out on sensation  
Like you’re under sedation  
Let’s do the time-bump again  
Let’s do the time-bump again

Well I was bumping up this thread just a-having some fun  
When a Moderator gave me an warning bump  
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise  
He had on his jack boots, and a Mod’s bad signs  
He warned me well, and I felt a bump  
Bumps meant nothing, never would again

Let’s do the time-bump again  
Let’s do the time-bump again  
It’s just a bump to the left  
And then a bump to the right  
With your hands on your mouse  
You bring your bumping tight  
But it’s the new bump  
That really drives you insane  
Let’s do the time-bump again  
Let’s do the time-bump again
