Oh yeah? Well, go felch Milton Friedman, you capitalistic running-dog lackey worker-abusing swinepig. šŸ˜ƒ ---

ā€¦wowā€¦ I would just lurk in awe, but I, a simple man, have a simple request. The tune to [A Magnet Hung](http://diamond.idbsu.edu/gas/patience/html/magnet.html) (from Patience) is going through my head; does someone want to cook up a new batch of lyrics for it? It seems tailor-made for a parody, but my brain isnā€™t up to the taskā€¦for some reason, this one just screams ā€˜Microsoftā€™ to me, but you may pick your own topic. If the reward of glory isnā€™t enough, Iā€™ll sweeten the pot with a bribe: The first person with lyrics that leave me in stitches can [e-mail me](mailto:tgreen@dlcwest.com) their address, and next month Iā€™ll send them a pint jar of pectin-free homemade strawberry jam. A parody of [url=http://diamond.idbsu.edu/gas/iolanthe/html/nightmre.html]Love, Unrequited gets you two jars šŸ˜ƒ ---

Well, that didnā€™t work quite so well. Please forgive the newbie. Letā€™s try this again: the songs in question were [A Magnet Hung](http://diamond.idbsu.edu/gas/patience/html/magnet.html) and [Love, Unrequited](http://diamond.idbsu.edu/gas/iolanthe/html/nightmre.html). This is about the eighth technical glitch Iā€™ve created this weekend. Good night. ---

You all put [The Capitol Steps](http://www.capsteps.com/) to shame (though ā€œThe Middle Aged Lady Named Janet Renoā€ is pretty good.) Bravo! Wonderful work! ---

Kimstu, Just wanted to let you know that I got your lyrics in email today from someone who has never been to the Doper board. Youā€™re out on the Net, girlfriend. ---

Clever, yes, but persistently not funny. I am in doubt of those who claim to be soiling their garments. ---

Shamelessly boosting this so it doesnā€™t get trimmed - and because its been awhile and not everyone has seen the pure genius here. ---
