None based on "Still Alive"? I'm
appalled!
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Wikipedia Review
Doesn't quite scan - Wikipedia is 5 syllables, Review 2 for 7, while Aperture is 3 and
Science is 2. Maybe "'Pedia Review"?
We do what we must
because we can
For the good of all of us
'lulz' seems appropriate here. :)
Except the ones who are banned
But there's no sense crying
over every quick block
You just keep on saving
till the data base's locked
- till you run out of cake.
Maybe, 'till the page is locked'? Same syllable count, same distribution, and
makes more sense for edit-warring anyway.
And the editing is stopped
A Squid failure notice up
For the people who are
still unbanned
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you blocked my ass
And banned me
And blocked my whole college
And set the IT staff on my ass
Eh. One too many 'ass' here. 'set the IT staff on my track'?
As they kicked me out I cried,
I was so happy for you!
Now I've found your IP and your home phone on time
And I found your employer and I'll drop them a line
So I'm glad I got blocked
And the database is locked
As per previous, maybe pages instead.
for the people who are
still unbanned
Go ahead and leave me
I'll stay on the Wikback for a while
maybe I'll find somewhere else
to edit
maybe Citizendium ...
'Black Mesa', 3, 'Wikia', 3. Seems like a worthwhile substitution to me.
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, these edits grate
? 'are great'?
They're so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when there's editing to do
when I look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run
I don't know why, but I really want to change this line to "I've got admin
bots to run". :)
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still unbanned
and believe me I am still unbanned
I'm adding edits and I'm still unbanned
when AOL's blocked and I'm still unbanned
How about 'Congress'? 2 syllables.
when Qatar's blocked I'll be still unbanned
and when the world's blocked I'll be still unbanned
still unbanned
(anyone who wants to fix the scansion, feel free)
