I did the unthinkable

[John Jay Smith]

Today is a historical day..
I did the unthinkable.. I plonked someone!

I have never done this before...and I was against it.... but I had to.

I just had to.. because drastic measures were needed in this case....
But this has not been done with a light conscious and it is a burden on my
soul....

So please read the following lyrics and sing along with me, with the
Queens bohemian rhapsody tune.....

PS: Whoever doesn't know this song.. is VERY young.. lol here it is in MIDI
http://www.queenwords.com/audio/midis/borhap.mid ( I know I know.. terrible
sound)



Mama, just PLONKED a man
Put a RULE against his head
Pushed my mouse button, now he's dead
Mama, Vista had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back online again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my netcard time is done
Sends shivers down my cable line
Back is aching all the time

Goodbye everybody - I've got to go offline
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want my connection to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been online at all........

Mama, ooo - (anyways windows blows)

Was: "anyway the wind blows"

The extended version written by yours truly
----

Is this the real life?
Is this just final fantasy?
Caught in a spam scam
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look into your files and C#
I'm just a poor boy, I need no TFT
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Bandwidth high or a little low
Anyways windows blows, doesn't really matter to me, windows Me

Mama, just PLONKED a man
Put a RULE against his head
Pushed my mouse button, now he's dead
Mama, Vista had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make your CPU fry
If I'm not back online again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my netcard time is done
Sends shivers down my cable line
Back is aching all the time

Goodbye everybody - I've got to go offline
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyways windows blows)
I don't want my connection to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been online at all........


I see a little icon of a man
Microsoft, Microsoft will you do the fandango?
Electric bolts are lighting - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves WinMe
He's just a poor boy from a poor network neighborhood
Spare him his drive from this monstrosity*
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bill is blah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bill is blah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bill is blah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Microsoft has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can reboot me and format my drive?
So you think you can love me & post my pic online?
Oh baby - can't blog like this baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
We are just formaters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyways windows blows...





*Monstrosity = He is referring to windows VISTA

Hopefully you did not feel the need to announce the plonk to the
plonkee. I see that as a cowardly act of attention getting when
someone drops a big PLONK on someone. Just do it and get on with it.
When someone announces it they are trying to show their moral
superiority by effectively turning their heads and holding their hand
up and saying "speak to the hand, not me."

 

[John Jay Smith]

Gee is that all you have to say? Nothing about laughing with
my Queen parody? ahh well.....

I posted this for another reason.
Because in a prior post I said that I never ever plonked someone... yet in
this extreme case I did it.

That's all... I have no superiority complex.. I have self
knowledge. Hey.. so why am I explaining myself to you then?

Ignore this message please

Bartender, I'll have whatever he's having but not quite so strong.

Sorry to disappoint you. I guess you were expecting some comment about
your lyrics. I was more interested in the "human interest" story.

Killfiling is useless in my opinion. You still see responses unless
your newsreader has extra filtering capabilities. I don't think MS OE
can ignore entire threads that have the plonkee in them.

That's all... I have no superiority complex.. I have self
knowledge. Hey.. so why am I explaining myself to you then?
Hmmm...

Ignore this message please

It's hard to ignore attention seekers. ;-)

It's obviouis who the plonkee is. Now if the plonkee will reciprocate
by plonking Kenny a much better NG.

Ahhhh.. Im sure you know it...

you have to hear the normal version.. not the midi...
it was from the album "A night at the Opera"...

Even if your music tastes are of classical music you must find and listen to
this song, since it has elements from opera... combined with the "rock"
style of Queen...

I thought I was the only person that old around here.

I'll see your 1943 and bet 1942.

My tastes run to traditional Anglo-American (Scottish, Irish, Canadian,
Australian, NZ...) ballads.

so do mine. Do you frequent an online forum where ballads...and much
more...are discussed? Mudcat?

Ah - Rugby songs!

 

[John Jay Smith]

thanks....

 

[Bill Day]

Ah - Rugby songs!

*grin*....don't think I've ever heard a Rugby song described as a
'ballad'....Maybe "The Vicar of Bayswater"
