Ha! I read this as “Oh Wally! Wally! Wally!” which of course if you’re an old-timer reminds you of a certain someone on here who was getting off in hot cybersex with “WallyM7.”

For those of you who are not of the Discworld, “Oh Waily!” is the cry of the Pictsies when they have some distressing news. It is a most sad lament.

At six inches tall, these fairy folk are seen as occasionally helpful thieves and pests.

(The books are well worth your time.)

\*Wake up! Your time is nearly over!  
No more the supernova!  
No action guaranteed…

Wake up! You’ve had an operation!  
Ideas above your station!  
Too much reality.

Think about the wasted time spending,  
Watching mother nature’s knees bending;  
Everybody loves a happy ending…\*
