My Christmas gift to COLA
cc
7 was posting gibberish because he's a dumb little poop
Linux advocacy posts were being made with care
To ward off Microsoft Munchkins and their Open Source scare
Snit posted GUI inconsistencies, thousands at a time
And Hadron was there desperate to take his side
Tattoo Vampire wanted to fight and called them both queers
Because he had grown 7 feet tall after having a beer
When all of a sudden there rose a paranoid fright
Roy Schestowitz had made 4 million posts, and none of them right
But no corrections were made, only posts repeated
And Microsoft Munchkins were failing, their willpower depleted
The day looked lost, it was the year of Linux indeed
Choice is good as long as it's our choice was the advocate's creed
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
DFS's Ubuntu posts, the truth was near
Hundreds and Hundreds of horror stories told
Some of them on the verge of 3 years old
Roy called together his posse, as fast as lightning they came
And he whistled delicately and called them by name
"On Roy Culley, On Homer, On The Almighty Mark Kent
Now HPT, Now Terry Porter, come on we will make them repent!
To the top of the of thread, hell, to the top of the roof
We'll make thousands of posts, and we won't tell the truth"
Linonut agreed with everything, Hadron told him to heel
Homer said DRM is bullshit, and it's okay to steal
Petey Koehlmann makes proprietary apps all day, oh what a stunt
But at night he rails against Microsoft and calls everyone cunts
Linux is perfect they screamed, there is no problem at all
According to flatfish, Roy Schestowitz has no balls
Tim Smith gave us a technical dissertation, imagine our luck
chrisv responded by plonking because chrisv's an illiterate fuck
The Ghost in the Machine rides in, with a thousand line post
Made up of mostly footnotes, these Munchkins were toast
Williams Poaster wrote something, what I don't really know
I got bored after the word "headers", it wasn't much of a show
Roy beamed proudly, the order seemingly restored
In the backwords world of COLA, which a vast majority ignored
Microsoft had been defeated, they were doomed to fail
All because they had the notion that software should be for sale
COLA rejoiced, their work was done
Linux had 2% of the desktop, look they won!
They fudged with the truth, didn't talk much about Open Source
They hold intellectual property and work on proprietary software, but
it's the principal of course
Mark Kent was ecstatic, Linux was on a roll
He had defeated the anti-charter, off-topic, trolls
He did all by agreeing with everything Roy said, he didn't have to
cuss
Now he could get back to doing what he loved, there was Microsoft news
to discuss
The desktop was dead, the PS3 was hit
The fact that none of this was true didn't bother him a bit
It's more important to have faith, any hurtful facts about Linux
should be nixed
Because god forbid any problems be acknowledged and fixed
So Roy got his recognition, by copying and pasting others work
And he doesn't give a damn that his misdeeds make him a jerk
But I heard him exclaim, in his usual paranoid fright
"The Munchkins will be back, we'll do this again tomorrow night"

Yup.

LOL!

Sounds about right. :)

No... not really... he just has similar ideas to me, Shuttleworth, etc. etc.
etc.... pretty much anyone who is familiar with Linux / OSS and is not a
whacko. :) There may be some exceptions... but none come to mind.

Well, he thought he did. Sounds about right again. :)

He realized he had no point and targeted people's personal and professional
lives. :)

Don't forget flatso's New Year resolution that we should all be
more polite.

A doctor, an architect, and a computer scientist were arguing about
whose profession was the oldest. In the course of their arguments, they
got all the way back to the Garden of Eden, whereupon the doctor said, "The
medical profession is clearly the oldest, because Eve was made from Adam's
rib, as the story goes, and that was a simply incredible surgical feat."
The architect did not agree. He said, "But if you look at the Garden
itself, in the beginning there was chaos and void, and out of that the Garden
and the world were created. So God must have been an architect."
The computer scientist, who'd listened carefully to all of this, then
commented, "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from?"

Okaaaaaaaaaay....I've got one too.
(with apologies to the appropriate bunch)
An Ode To Windows Vista, Christmas Edition
Joy To The World, Vista has come!
Let geeks reload each box.
Let every computer system,
prepare room for it,
with internal disk drive gronks,
and internal disk drive gronks,
and gronks, and gronks, and lots more gronks.
Joy to the World, it's time to buy,
the Modern Operating System!
Time to upgrade the disk,
memory and video,
And spend a little more green,
and spend a little more green,
and spend and spend a lot more green.
Peace on earth, replace it now.
Windows now has great 3D.
With the Aero interface
that's slow but very pretty,
And spinning those nice windows,
and spinning those nice windows,
and spinning, and spinning, those nice windows.
Amen to them, which from Vista sprang.
It needs some big add-ons.
There is no editor
except Notepad and Write [*],
We need to install Office,
We need to install Office,
We need to, install, Microsoft Office,
Joy to the Web, we can now browse!
With Internet Explorer.
It's non standard
and does its own thing,
and confuses all the websites,
and confuses all the websites,
and confuses, all the standard websites.
Vista rules, with style and grace,
and Digital Rights Management Control Software.
We want to ensure
that people play that disc,
but don't copy it copy it oh,
don't copy it copy it oh,
don't copy, don't copy, it illegally, Oh!
Linux is dirt, as Vista rules,
Free software has no place.
Microsoft is the future,
with sixty billion per year,
And lots and lots of preloads,
and lots and lots of preloads,
and lots, and lots, more preloads.
Joy to the world, XP is gone.
Vista will take its place.
Let everyone scream
at vendors everywhere,
and Microsoft quickly recants,
and Microsoft quickly recants,
and Microsoft, quickly, puts it back.
Joy to the bugs, on the Internet.
Let boxes receive the spam.
And then they become a large,
Gigantic massive botnet,
and bombard various websites,
and bombard various websites,
and bombard, various, we-eb sites.
The DoJ, might actually look
with Obama now as Prez.
At marketplace restrictions
and EUC allegations
and various alleged acts,
and various alleged acts,
and lots of, and lots of alleged acts...
Joy to the World, Linux has prevailed.
The freeware has returned.
It never went away,
and now it can flourish,
with the monopoly broken up,
the monopoly broken up,
the Microsoft, monopoly, broken up.
* * *
Admittedly, the meter of the song wandered off and hid
somewhere, and there's not much rhyme though there might
be a reason.
But one can dream, can't one?
[*] also known as Wordpad, at least in
pre-Vista Windows variants. The
one apparently calls the other.

Is it cheaper to learn Linux, or to hire someone

I don't believe I ever agreed to that. In fact, for the record, I'm
opposed to any politeness at all.

The linux users here were not against a decent advocacy group.
They just simply did not believe for a second that your "proposal" was for
real. Turned out they were right

None of Flatfish's "proposals" have been genuine. He's cried "wolf" so
many times, that Linux Advocates no longer believe him. Thus, he only has
his little circle jerk of fellow trolls, like Hadron Quack, to hang on his
words.
