SDMB Rap

No one can tell you what to do  
But I do have one thought for you  
Check out the board known as Straight Dope  
Instead of in you house to mope  
You’ll find all manner of people here  
Some are real jerks, most are sincere  
You read the posts and realize  
information grows before your eyes  
Just tell me what your mind has in it  
There is no prize, don’t try to win it  
Grab for the reins, it’s quite a ride  
I’ll see you on the other side

(here’s where you make that sound with your lips pursed together, blowing out spurts of air:

bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)

You talk about variety  
There’s so much here for you to see  
There’s Mundane Posters, Great Debaters,  
Opinion Givers, America Haters  
Republicans and Democrats,  
Some Dirty Poets, Some Dirty Rats  
No Matter what your style or faith  
You can make friends, you can relate  
Take one big leap, find out yourself  
Just post a poem, or ask for help  
Report a fact, or take a poll  
Don’t let no one define your roll  
Relax and read through mindless flirts  
Tell all the girls you’ll raise their skirts  
Or take a stance on doing speed  
Or who can smoke what kind of weed  
Discuss the Bible with the teacher  
Or meet someone and try to reach her

(bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)

You say you want some politics  
Again enjoy the many picks  
Take sides or just take a back seat  
The arguments just can’t be beat  
If you don’t like the tone you hear  
There is a remedy, don’t fear  
You tell that MFA to git  
And bring their ass into the Pit  
And now there ain’t no holding back  
You give 'em hell, son, you attack  
Make sure you finish off the slime  
Don’t let 'em back another time

(bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)

So now you got it, it’s Straight Dope  
You understand the word I hope  
Don’t hesitate for one more minute  
Take the leap, sign up, get in it  
Start posting what is on your mind  
You’ll catch the fever given time  
You’ll be the new man of the hour  
Remember this - Knowledge is Power

Wow sili. Now you’re ready to go out and rap to the grade schoolers at all the middle schools. You can put on a pointy knowledge cap and a fake white beard. Hell, I’ll bet the chronicle will even do a front page story on you.

Oldscratch - I would wish a front page Chron-ILL-cle story on my worst enemy! And a white beard wouldn’t look good on me, maybe dark brown!
