You, doin’ that thing you do.
Waking and shaking up
a million hampsters,
prod them with a Gnu!
And you don’t mean to be cruel.
You never even knew about the heartache
I’ve been going through.
Well I try and try
to forget this board
but it’s just so hard to do
every time you do that thing you do.
‘Cause it hurts me so when the board’s so slow
that I can’t see nothin’ new.
But if I know you you’re doing that thing,
every day just doing that thing,
Can’t take you not doing that thing
you do!
so i tried to log on last night and could not. this was around 2:00 am east cost. i take it from this thread that i was not the only one. i’d like to offer my thanks to jerry for getting the hamsters going again, but what happened? did jerry have to run out to hamsters R’ us to get a new power sourse?
Jerry is Jerry Davis (login JDavis), the Technical Guru of the SDMB. He’s also known as Jerry the Tech God and Chief Hamster Wrangler. He keeps this whole shebang running on a roomful of servers running GNU/Linux (hence the gnu mentioned in the OP’s song).
If Jerry ever makes a Dopefest, I’m sure the outpouring of affection would make a Bacchanalian orgy seem like a dissertation on non-Euclidian geometry.
Not that I’m implying y’all’d do anything that’s illegal … in Chicago.
