This just came on the radio… BTO’s “Takin’ Care of Business” could play whenever the mods / admins have to move threads / delete threads / warn people / ban people / do any of the duties that ther job on here entails. F\_X ---

With **SPOOFE** I think of the circus theme: dit-dit-dididi-dit-dit-dee-dee (he can correct this). 🙂 Or am I confusing posters here? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by fizzygoodmakefeelnice \* > \*\* > > And I’ll be impressed by the person who finds a song with a reference to 1920’s style “Death Rays”. \*\* I found a band called American Death Ray, another called Baptist Death Ray and a punk rock band called Asstroland with a really cool old school punk rock song called “Death Ray”. I had a great reply complete with URL’s, but the the SDMB was in uber-slow mode then my browser crashed and I lost it. So this is all you get. ---

How about ‘Wasting TIme’ by Blink 182? The title is pretty relevant in itself, but I like the verse that goes “She’d teach me about modern art And I’d show her it’s okay to fart” - talk about fighting ignorance! ---
