    They did a hilarious version of "Oh Holy Nights" that went something like "Oh Modem Lights"

    Here's the link... I kept this as my desktop wallpaper long after christmas was past.

  8. The Slashdot Christmas Song! by wackybrit · · Score: 5, Funny

    All through SOVIET RUSSIA, twas Christmas before the night,
    Not a controller was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The CAT5 was hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that broadband soon would be there;

    The friendly geeks were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of CowboyNeal danced in their heads;
    And Taco in his 'kerchief, and Cliff in his cap,
    Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

    When from my PC there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to Mozilla I flew like a flash,
    Tore open my browser, and surfed to the Slash.

    The news on the main page was new, I could boast..
    I could post within 20 seconds 'FIRST POST!!'
    The headline was 'Programmer caught in infinite loop.'
    Doh! Just another of Taco's damn dupes.

    'First Post!!' typed, I was beaming with pride,
    I hit Submit, and then nearly cried
    Someone had beat me, and what did they say?
    "Stephen King dead at 53" today!

    We may complain and bitch at each other
    But every /. user is more like your brother
    Than if you read CNN or Fark or The Knot
    And it's exactly what all other communities are not.
