I do tech support and I’m ok, I dont sleep nights and I work all day. I do admin, refresh ip’s, configure your os. I sort out hw problems, and your mac address i do tech support… etc etc etc into drunkes stupor… A long long time ago, I can still remember when computers used to make me smile, and I knew if I had my chance, I could make those pixels dance, and maybe they’ed be happy for a while, but COBOL used to make me shiver, with every date that I’d deliver, 2 digits on the date-set, We didnt see the mistake yet, I cant remember if I cried, when I read about Intel Inside, and something touched me deep inside, the day, my CMOS died. anyone know the rest of this song? * * * “I’m a rebel, soul rebel.

So bye bye, newsroom Y2K guy, We’ve heard hype of every stripe but now it really won’t fly. You good old boys have tried to scare us - but why? Could it be to send your ratings sky-high? Did you want your ratings sky-high… * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

Ok, I’ve put some actual thought into mine and I want to change it 🙂 (To the tune of _Greased Lightning_) That VogueVixen’s filling up the board with crap (VogueVixen, go VogueVixen) The Dopers in the chatroom just wish that she would shut her yap (VogueVixen, no VogueVixen) She’s on all day (uh-huh) Won’t go away (nuh-uh) VogueVixen! and just to be extra silly… Nothing you can say can tear him away from P-S-Y Democritus would board a Greyhound bus for P-S-Y… They met on a board we call Straight Dope I hope they bring me some tequila from Mex-i-co We ain’t misbehavin’, there’s no separatin’ Dem and Psy ## 😉 Adrock, light up the place And if you pull my card you pull the ace And if you ask me turn up the bass And if you play Defender I could be your hyperspace ---

(to the tune of “American Pie” - duh) Long, long time ago… Way back last November, On the news I saw a talking head And he said that there was a chance We’d wake from our collective trance And all our home computers would be dead… His tale of terror made me shudder, We were a boat without a rudder… I shouldn’t wait 'til later To buy a generator… The food supplies would soon be gone, So stockpile Spam and Evian… But New Year’s came, and with the dawn We knew…the hype…had died. (chorus) So bye bye, newsroom Y2K guy, We’ve heard hype of every stripe but now it really won’t fly. You good old boys have tried to scare us - but why? Could it be to send your ratings sky-high? Did you want your ratings sky-high… I’m still working on the rest of it…if anyone wants to see more, post your plea and I’ll do my best. * * * Live a Lush Life Da Chef ---

I think the song that best describes us as a whole would be: “Too much time on my hands and it’s ticking away at my sanity…” 😉 * * * Adrock, light up the place And if you pull my card you pull the ace And if you ask me turn up the bass And if you play Defender I could be your hyperspace ---

To the tune of Time, by Pink Floyd… Typing away, the moments that make up my work day, I fritter and waste my lunch hour to excess, Surfing around all the different threads in the fora, Answering questions in MPSIMS, tired of fixing old computers, havent seen the sun in days, eating instant coffee granules, living in a constant haze, Then one day I wake to find, 10 hours have gone behind me, I am addicted, its plain to see, to the SDMB, (cue : Sqrlcub playing the guitar solo on a comb and tissue paper kazoo)… * * * “I’m a rebel, soul rebel.

Actually, I have to say that Arnold W.'s “SDMB in 20 years” was the _best_ post ever, at least in my limited experience. That one had beer shooting out of my nose. * * * Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. ---

Just guessing at the pronunciation of “wevets” (as we-vitz), but perhaps “Manichevitz”? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-songs/15296.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-songs/15296.md?page=3)
