"The Flamer"
To the tune of "The Boxer" by P. Simon and A. Garfunkel
I am just a lurker tho my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my commitments for a terminal and access, such are Usenetters
All flames and jest,
Still a man reads what he wants to read and killfiles the rest.
When I started reading newsgroups I was no more than a boy
In the company of newbies, in the quiet of the on-line helpfiles, running
scared
Confused as hell,
Seeking out the stupid keystrokes all you gurus knew so well,
Looking for alt.tv.saved-by-the-bell.
CHORUS:
Li li li (FLAME!)
Li li li li li li li,
Li li li (FLAME!)
Li li li li li li li li li li li.
(repetive lil' sucker ain't it?!)
Asking frequently-asked questions, I come looking for a file
But I get no answers,
Just a come-on from the gang on alt.hi.are.you.cute
I do declare
There were times when I was so bored I read the posts up there
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Now I'm sending this across the world, and costing the net hundreds
(if not thousands)
Of dollars, do I really want to be doing this?
Doing this....
What the hell.
In the carrel types a flamer and an idiot by his trade,
And he carries the reminders of every piece of hate e-mail that he got
Till he cries out, in his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, you all suck, " but we flame him just the same
(chorus)
(chorus)
(repeat chorus until you feel the song should be over.)
(repeat it again just to make sure.)
