Just a good ol’ boy,  
Never meanin’ no wrong,  
They say this boy has been in trouble with the mods since the day he signed on.

Just a couple of words,  
Posted in a reply,  
More than enough for the mods to arrive to get him to comply.

Makin’ his wayyyyyyyyyyyyy,  
The only way he knows how,  
It’s just a little bit more than this board will allow.

Just a good ol’ boy,  
Couldn’t change if he could,  
Fightin’ ignorance in a true internet neighbourhood.

Mama  
Just killed a thread  
Tried to bump it ~ but instead  
Typed my two cents ~ now it’s dead.  
Mama  
It’s life has just begun  
And now I’ve gone and drove them all away.  
Mama- oo-oo-oo-oo-oo  
Didn’t mean to make it die.  
Sometimes I wish I never logged on at all…

[right]Post Count Hero  
_Sung to the tune of **"Juke Box Hero"** _  
**by Foreigner**  
Performed by \*\*TVeblen, fluiddruid, Giraffe \*\*

- Throbbing bass intro\*[/right]  
Lurking was a pain, with his post count low,  
He didn’t heed the sticky, he’ll claim he didn’t know.  
Saw the awe of the crowd, he could picture the scene.  
Put his hands to the keys, then like a distant scream.

He made one reply, just blew him away.  
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day,  
Turned a beat up pit thread, to internet war.  
Didn’t know why he did it, but he knew for sure,

That one reply, felt good in his hands.  
Didn’t take long, for a reprimand.  
Just one reply, slung way down low,  
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go.

So he started postin’  
Ain’t never gonna stop  
Gotta keep on postin’  
Someday gonna make it to the top.

And be a post count hero, (got stars in his eyes)  
He’s a post count hero.  
He made one reply! (post count hero, stars in his eyes)  
Post count hero, he’ll come alive tonight.

In a thread without a name, was a heavy outpour  
When he posted his opinion, then darted out the door.  
Like a trip through the past, to that day in his pain  
And that one reply made his whole life change.

So he had to keep a postin’  
He just can’t stop.  
Gotta keep on postin’  
That boy has got to stay on top.

_(Refrain; guitar solo & dance ensemble #2 ~ while **meek** frantically pounds his keyboard)_

Yeah, he’s gotta keep postin’  
He just can’t stop.  
Gotta keep on postin’  
That boy has got to stay on top.

And be a post count hero, (got stars in his eyes)  
He’s a post count zero, (don’t get no replies)  
Just one reply, put stars in his eyes.  
He’s just a post count hero, (aah aah aah)  
Post count hero, post count hero, he’s got stars in his eyes  
Stars in his eyes

Performed by **meek**  
\*\*\*meek \*\*dressed in black, playing guitar; \* (spotlight center stage)[/right]  
Early one mornin’ ~ while makin’ the rounds,  
I took a snort of cocaine and I posted what went down.  
I can’t recall just what I said,  
The mod had warned me not to make that kind of thread.

Got up next mornin’ and my thread was wiped,  
Took a shot of whiskey and awayyy I typed.  
Made a drunk post, that I must admit.  
They pounced on me almost as I hit submit.

After some pot joints and takin’ some pills,  
I posted just to desssscribe the thrill.  
They locked it up; said I need to show some class,  
If you don’t we’re gonna have to kick your ass.

I said yes oh yes my name is **meek.**  
I like to start threads when I can barely speak.  
There would be more ~ but I type too slow,  
I thought I was just having fun but now I know.

Then I was suspended and my screen was black,  
I told ém I was sober and they took me back.  
Got no friends left to hear my tale,  
"Bout when they slapped my carcass in that forum jail.

Early next mornin’ bout a half past nine  
I seen the moderator was online  
I asked him why I got replies no more,  
He said that most the board had put me on ignore,

Into the pit thread, my trial began,  
What I needed now was a good health plan.  
Popped a couple mushrooms just to cope with stress,  
When I posted stoned they really weren’t impressed.

In about five minutes in walked the man,  
Cecil held the verdict in his right hand.  
The verdict read guilty in the first degree.  
I hollered “Perfect master have a mercy on me!”

Then Cecil said that he can be bribed,  
For 99 years now I susssscribed.  
99 years ~ and what I hate the most,  
I can’t forget the day I made those wasted posts.

Come on you’ve gotta listen to **meek** ,  
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine beeeeeeeee.

Well I logged on to the Straight Dope last night,  
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,  
I know better not to post while impaired,  
And I’m wondering what I wrote down in there,  
Mods to the left of me,  
Dopers to the right, here I am,  
Stuck in a pit thread with you.

Yes I’mmmmmmmm stuck in a pit thread with you,  
And I’m wondering what it is I should do,  
It’s so hard when I keep losing some face,  
Losing control, my reputation disgraced.  
Mods to the left of me, Dopers to the right,  
Here I am, stuck in a pit thread with you.

Well it started out as nothing,  
Has exploded into something ugly man,  
Then your friends all come a crawlin,  
Say that I’m a hack and call me,  
Sleeeeeeeeeeaaze… Sleeeeeeeeeeaaze…

I try to make some sense of it all,  
But you can see I make no sense at all,  
I’m a fool that all of you now deplore,  
And I don’t think that I can take anymore  
Mods to the left of me, Dopers to the right,  
Here I am, stuck in a pit thread with you.

_(chorus)_

Well I don’t know why I’m back here tonight,  
Don’t feel the need to prove that I’m right,  
I’m not scared and I won’t fall off the scene,  
And I think what you called me’s obscene,  
Mods to the left of me, Dopers to the right,  
Here I am, stuck in a pit thread with you.  
Yes I’m stuck in a pit thread with you,

Doper lords of wisdom, edit me.

And when the left and right wing members  
Fighting on the board agree,  
I’ve blown my VB coding, edit me.

And though my posts are broken there is  
Still a chance that I will see  
The use of proper grammar, edit me.  
Edit me, edit me, edit me, edit me.  
One day I’ll get it right, edit me.

Edit me, edit me, edit me, edit me.  
Fix my words abysmal, edit me.  
Edit me, edit me, edit me, yeah edit me.  
Doper lords of wisdom, edit me.

And when still my thread is cloudy,  
Moderators - rescue me!  
Please mend this mess tomorrow, edit me.

I wake up to corrected coding,  
And moderators dreading me.  
Next time I’ll get it right, edit me.

Edit me, edit me, edit me, edit me.
