**Enright3** , **elfkin477** , thank you for the kind words. I try but I’m definitely not in the same league as a **welby1** or a **Fenris**. BTW, where is the Master of Parody[sup]TM[/sup] ?

**My Post’s Not There**

Well no one told me about Euty, the way he pried  
Well no one told me about this policy, how many people cried  
But it’s too late to say I’m sorry  
How would he know, why should he care  
Please don’t bother tryin’ to find it  
My post’s not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way it read  
The way it sounded and its singular flair  
Its voice was intense and cool  
The lyrics were unique and tight  
But its not there

Well no one told me about Euty, what could I do  
Well no one told me about this policy, though they all knew  
But it’s too late to say I’m sorry  
How would he know, why should he care  
Please don’t bother tryin’ to find it  
My post’s not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way it read

**Born to be Mild**

Get your codin’ runnin’  
Head out on the high thread  
Lookin’ for adventure  
And whatever posts our way

Yeah Euty go make it happen  
Take the Board in a love embrace  
Delete all of our posts at once  
And explode cyberspace

I like joke and posting  
Heavy duty Doper  
Racin’ with the mind  
And the feelin’ that I’m over

Yeah Euty go make it happen  
Take the Board in a love embrace  
Delete all of our posts at once  
And explode cyberspace

Like a true poster child  
We were born, born to be mild  
We can post so high  
I never wanna die

Born to be mild  
Born to be mild

A modern-day Moderator  
Mean mean stride,  
Today’s Euthychus  
Mean mean pride.

Though his forum is not for rent,  
Don’t put him down as arrogant.  
Teeming millions, a quiet defense,  
Riding out the day’s threads  
The Straight Dope

And what you say about his company  
Is what you say about Café Society.  
Catch the post, catch the troll  
Catch the sock, does this get old?

The Dope is, the Dope is,  
Ed and Cecil are deep,  
Maybe as his columns are right.

Today’s Eutychus,  
He gets high on you,  
And the thread he edits  
He gets by on you.

No, his forum is not for rent  
By any law breaking girl or gent  
Always hopeful, yet discontent,  
He knows copyright ain’t permanent,  
This thread is.

And what you say about his company  
Is what you say about Café Society.  
Catch the witless, catch the git,  
Catch the idiot, catch some shit.

The Dope is, the Dope is,  
Ed and Cecil are deep,  
Maybe as his columns are right.

Exit the moderator,  
Today’s Euty-chus,  
He gets high on you,  
And the barbs you trade,  
He gets right on to the running of the Board

_{With apologies to ol’ blue eyes…)_

And now  
I’ll end this thread  
And this will be  
The final posting  
It’s been  
A lot of fun  
To be the ob-  
ject of your roasting.  
Yes I  
can take a joke  
And even jest  
in such a dry way  
That’s just  
the way I am;  
I posted my way.

We talk  
Of many things  
From oral sex  
To nuclear fission  
But don’t  
repost a song  
without a cop-  
yright permission.  
If so  
You’ll get the boot  
And I do mean  
Not in a shy way  
It’s not that nice  
You do it twice  
You’ll hit the highway.

There was a time  
I almost went  
And banned you all  
With ill intent.  
But though it all  
Though it was sport  
I listed names.  
We’ll meet in court.  
Your weekly pay  
you earned today  
will soon be my pay!

But if  
I close it now  
I’ll never hear  
Your criticism  
Your comments  
On my song  
Your gentle barbs  
And witticisms.  
I’ll ne-  
ver hear you say  
“Gee that was phrased  
in such a sly way!”  
My God  
I’m such a whore.  
I’ll close it Friday.

Everytime I read this thread, I don’t understand.  
Why Euty let the things we did get so out of hand.  
He should have closed this thread and had us banned.  
All of these song parodies, and so few get panned.  
I only want to know, I only want to know, I only want to know…

Eutychus, Eutchyus, why make all this unnecessary fuss?  
Eutychus, Superstar, are you as bad this thread says you are?

Tell us what you think about each parody post?  
Is \*\* welby [b/] the one that you like the most?  
\*\* detop [/b) is he at the top? Is he just the best?  
What about \*\* Barnett \*\* and me and all of the rest?  
Will you really close this thread? That will be a mistake, cause  
This is the best Mod thread that there ever was!

What a glorious feeling  
I’m silly again  
I’m laughin’ with a Mod  
So high up above  
The fun’s in my heart  
And I’m ready for love  
Let the stormy Mod chase  
Everyone from the place  
Come into the thread  
I’ve a smile on my face  
I’ll talk down the bane  
With a happy restrain  
Just postin’  
Postin’ in the thread

Prancin’ in the thread

**Annie-Xmas** , you forgot one thing : it is the first “Stickie” thread to make Threadspotting.

Anyway, I guess we still have time for this :

Eutychus is my name and I ruled the Café threads  
Till Doper’s absurdity came and tore up the posts again  
In the summer of 'ought-two, we were angry, just barely postin’  
By July the tenth, GQ had fell  
It was a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the trolls were gloating  
The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the posters were singing  
They went Na, na na na na na,  
Na na na na na,  
Na na na na na

Back with my life in Rhode Islee,  
When one day they pointed to me  
Euty, quick come see! there goes Unka Cece !  
I don’t mind chopping posts,  
I don’t care if the money’s no good  
Take what you b’lieve and leave the best  
But they should never have taken my very rest

The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the trolls were gloating  
The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the posters were singing  
They went Na, na na na na na,  
Na na na na na,  
Na na na na na

Like the poster before me, I’m a peaceful host  
Like the Doper before me, I made a libel boast  
Just 18, loud and rave, when a hacker laid him in his grave  
I swear by the threads flowing below my feet  
You can’t raise an Euty back up when he’s been defeated

The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the trolls were gloating  
The night they drove old Euty mad  
And all the posters were singing  
They went Na, na na na na na,  
Na na na na na,  
Na na na na na

Is this a real post ?  
Is this Cafe Society ?  
Caught with a hamster,  
No escape from mod Euty.  
Open your eyes,  
Look up to the mod and see,  
I’m just a new-bie,  
I need more posts you see,  
Because I’m wanting to, join the clique,  
sucking on, mod ti-tty.  
Any way to join now ? I should suck up more to Euty, Eu-ty.

Euty, just killed the fun,  
Put a sticky at the top, now our lyrics are all gone,  
Euty, we just want to post,  
But now we’ve gone and thrown it all away,  
Euty, ooo-o-o-oooooh didn’t mean to make you cry,  
If we’re not logging on this time tomorrow,  
Ban us all, ban us all, as if nothing really matters.

Too late, copywrite has come  
Take lyrics off this thread, delete our posts as if we’re dead.  
Goodbye crappy verses, songs have to go,  
Gotta leave the Straight Dope and obey the rules.  
Euty, ooo-o-o-ooooh, I just want to post,  
I sometimes wish I never had to go offline.

I see a little silhouetto of Euty,  
Eutychus, Eutychus, will you do the Staff Reports now,  
Thunder bolts and lightning, very very frightening me !

Ouch ! Who threw that ? O.K, I’ll stop now. 😃

Start spreading the news.  
This thread’s closing today.  
He can’t take any more of it.  
The Mod Euty!

It’s giving me blues.  
Don’t take it away.  
We’re having so much fun with it.  
Please, Mod Euty!

I love this Message Board that doesn’t sleep.  
It’s 24/7/265, top of the help.

The SDMB  
Is really the best.  
But Cafe Society  
Beats all the rest.  
I post the most there, more than anywhere.  
Don’t take it away, Mod Euty, Mod Euuuuuutttttttty.

Hey, now! We were only posting parody lyrics. You posted _actual lyrics_ to the _entire song_! That’s going a bit to far! 😛
