It's.....
THE VILLAGE PEOPLE R.H.O.D FAQ
=============================
Young Man,
is your boss a big jerk?
I said young man,
are you stressed out from work?
You should know that
there's a place you can shirk
There's no need to be productive!
We don't
want your boring reports
We're not even
interested in sports
We're on UseNet
with its flames and retorts
We ain't got one life between us!
<trumpets>
<chorus:>
We now invite you to R.H.O.D!
We long to spite you in R.H.O.D!
You'll be stuck here for weeks
among hackers and phreaks
You can hang out with all us geeks!
It's fun to lurk in the R.H.O.D!
We run berserk in the R.H.O.D!
You can have a good time,
if you know how to rhyme.
We'll poke fun at your every line!
</chorus>
Newbie?
You should look for the FAQ
Cannot find it?
Well you're all out of luck.
If you hang here,
you'll be sure to get stuck
Pretty soon you'll be addicted.
You should
learn the rules of the News
And then lurk here,
and assemble some clues
Ask a question
and you'll risk our abuse
We won't even get convicted!
<trumpets>
<chorus>
We want to post you in R.H.O.D!
TimChew will roast you in R.H.O.D!
If you taste chicken-ish,
you will be a good dish
to Paul L. Kelly's Fighting Fish.
We long to meet you in R.H.O.D!
We're gonna eat you in R.H.O.D!
If you don't have a clue,
we'll be preying on you...
You'll make excellent barbecue!
</chorus>
If you
get profoundly confused
by the in-jokes
which we have much abused,
It's a state to
which you'll have to get used
and we WILL not stay on topic!
Warning!
We're all twisted and sick
If you post here,
there's no nit we won't pick
We're relentless,
and we don't miss a trick
We will chew your prose to pieces!
<trumpets>
<chorus>
You have been booked into R.H.O.D!
You'll soon be hooked on the R.H.O.D!
Kiss your real life goodbye,
as you post and reply
into threads that refuse to die!
You'll have a ball in the R.H.O.D!
as do we all in the R.H.O.D!
You will rupture your spleen,
laughing 'til you turn green,
reading posts from our Bitchy Queen.
</chorus>
Young Man,
we've been waiting for you
just to freak you
with the sick things we do.
We're immoral
like the monkeys at Zoo.
We should all have been arrested.
Show us
what you've got to conceal,
Come on, let us
cop a virtual feel!
I assure you,
if our antics were real,
we would all need to get tested!
<trumpets>
<chorus>
Come show your verve at the R.H.O.D!
Come be a perve at the R.H.O.D!
You'll get tied by KaCee,
duct-taped to DMP...
Pray to God you won't need to pee!
It's fun to be at the R.H.O.D!
You cannot flee from the R.H.O.D!
It's a dangerous hive,
you can struggle and strive
but you'll never escape alive.....
===================================================
Has this sort of thing been done before? I'd be surprised if it
hadn't; this froup's acronym is too good _not_ to make a Village
People song about. My apologies in that case.
Apologies also to those who didn't get included in the lyrics, but I
don't know everybody well enough to slander you properly :-)
But feel free to write yourselves and each other in! After all,
everything gets chopped up, augmented and twisted around in here.
That's why I love this froup!
<semi-serious>
If you have comments on my English, I'd welcome your picking my nits.
English is, after all, not my native language. I don't even know when
to captialize the word 'English' and when not to.
As is obvious, I've been rather careless with the rhyming constructs;
descending to 'assonance' in some cases and completely skipped the
inter-verse tie-ups in others. But if memory serves me right, VP
weren't too picky about that, either.
</semi-serious>
I had great fun with this, though! The hardest part was actually to
stop adding to it! You loonies are a great source of inpiration!
Hope you enjoyed it too! Love you!
*hugs*

You're a rotten bastard, you know that?

Who told you that Merkins speak English?
We speak American. Historically, American is derived from English,
but it's not really accurate to call them the same language. You
can't make valid statements about the quality of our English, unless
you're talking to someone who has learned it as a second language.
It's certainly not our first.

What kind of nonsense is that? A mailman's cap? If the stork was a
mailman, wouldn't he just package the baby, throw in the postal box and be
done with it?
Besides what does this have to with the topic we were discussing?
If not, will our being nice to him make him female?

Mickey Rourke is a transvestite?
Somehow this makes think of Tim Curry, dressed in green lingerie,
singing "I'm just a Mick transvestite, from transexual western Dublin!"
in an Irish adaptation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Luckily I've never had to pronounce it out loud, and I'm surrounded
mostly by swedes anyhow. Most of them know the word, sure, but few
would be offended or think I was insulting them. But as a matter of
fact, I 'hear' the word FAQ inside my head as rhyming with 'stuck'.
So how is it pronounced then? Like 'snack', 'pack' and 'whack'?
My accent is a bit influenced by English English, in which the A is
accented a bit differently at times. For example, 'Bastard' is often
pronounced 'Baahstard'. My spelling should also tip you off; for
example, I usually spell color 'colour'. And almost everytime I need
to write a word like 'realize' or 'agonize', I have to stop and decide
whether to use an 's' or a 'z'.
Englis is fun, but it's also confusing at times. There are some
cultural minefields to cross. For example, while dreaming up that
VP-FAQ thing I found some good rhymes which weren't very PC, and may
have been _extremely_ offensive to some of my fellow Rhodites, and so
I left them out. Better to ax a joke than to hurt a would-be friend.
We Swedes are set up for social blunders in that area. We're flooded
by a lot of American movies and TV shows, and _none_ of them have been
edited for political correctness or language unsuitable for
children.[1]
We also don't 'dub' our movies (or whatever you call the voice
overlays in one's own language) and TV shows, and this leads to two
side-effects:
1: We pick up on accents and pronounciations, and as a result we learn
English faster. Good.
2: We pick up on cuss-words and obscenities, without having the
cultural context to make them offensive to our ears. Less good,
especially when we take them abroad.
//Kenneth "FAQFACE" Sörling
=================================
[1] We also get to see all the sex and noodity 8)
Sweden is less sinful than is commonly believed in the States, but we
are definitely more relaxed in that area. Movies are sometimes cut
down for violent content, but not for sex. I seems to me to be the
other way around in America.
What's the message there? "It's okay to kill people, but not to fuck
them" ?
