A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How the trollers used to make me smile
And I knew if I had to boast
That I could try to get first post
And maybe I'd be happy for a while
But moderators made me shiver
With every minus they'd deliver
DoS scripts couldn't stop it
They scored them all "Offtopic"
I know that it's cheap crack they smoke
And meta-moderation's broke
At first I thought it was a joke
The day that trolltalk died
-- Chorus --
Bye, bye, MEEPTy, OOG, and Grits guy
Drove the Cruiser like some loser who starts posts with a *sigh*
Those Steve Woston posts that we all knew were a lie
Wonder what became of girls petrified?
What became of girls petrified?

Did you write a bunch of Perl?
And did it make you want to hurl
Feces at the Wall?
Can you believe these lame-ass polls?
Do you post big stretched-out assholes?
Can you make the goatse.cx link not show?
Well I know you think that Siggy sucked
Will the real Bruce Perens please stand up?
The bots don't have a clue.
Man, I dig those trolls from Shoe!
I was a rabid Free Speech advocate
With a Red Hat T-shirt and a Free Beer gut
Bought my Sony laptop working Pizza Hut
The day that trolltalk died
-- Chorus --
It's been two years since the IPO
And LNUX sinks to all-time lows
But that's not how it used to be
When Spiral showed how it was done
Trolling as Jon Erikson
Who worked for NPO Technologies
Oh and while they tried to filter posts
Somebody rooted Slashdot's host
"Crack Slashdot? That's absurd!"
Better go change your password
While JonKatz wrote a Hellmouth book
By using posts he simply took
And we flamed him till he was cooked
The day that trolltalk died
And we were singin....
-- Chorus --
10 grams. Inchfan. Didn't log out. Goddamn
The mods will find the sid real soon, man
You can't hide if you aren't AC
Your bud (George here) tried BSD
A dead Streetlawyer's tips were free
And WIPO helped letsriot turn Nazi
70 made his percents up
While 80md warned "liberals suck"
The moon does not exist
It's just a liberal myth
Oh and as Taco tried to take a nap
We forced him to invoke bitchslaps
Do you recall the flood of crap
The day that trolltalk died?
We started singin....
-- Chorus --
Oh and then we were wearing out "All your base"
And started posting monospace
The better for our penis birds
So come on, be a zealot, be a dick
You don't think Anne Marie's a chick?
Because lying's all we do about HURD
So go and push for BSD
And say GPL isn't free
Slow down, cowboy! The limit
Is one post every minute
Now tell the right wing facist slime
Infringing on Your Rights Online
That they can't censor all the time
The day that trolltalk died
-- Chorus --
I met a troll they called The Rev
And asked him if CD BREAK HEAD
He said, "That's old. Get over it."
And with all the courage I could muster
"Imagine what a Beowulf cluster...."
But it wasn't worth the trouble to submit
The karma caps are just plain jive
And everyone's moved to K5
The steelcage has grown rusted
And Geekizoid is busted
The three sites I don't see for weeks
Segfault, kernel, Comp-u-geek
Code is not art. This ain't Freshmeat
The day that trolltalk died
I don't know what's scariest.. Me knowing the melody well enough to sing the song (good job, btw), or me actually enjoying the show. Jack was quite the ladies man. My friend pointed out to me that Larry is the obvious influence in the Leisure Suit Larry series. Never noticed that before.
c_m, don't be a hater. We're all on this big, blue marble together and we need to live in peace and harmony with one another. Now join me in singing Cumbaya, My Lord.
My office smells like an outhouse in the middle of summer. Pretty soon I'll have to shove napkins in my underwear just in case something other than gas comes out.

Found this while googling around.. Interesting.

Yeah. Forget about Linux and use Mac OS X on a beautiful new PowerMac.
JonKatz enjoys the bedside company of boys under the age of 12.
Where's that story from? It's entertaining and sad at the same time. I want more!
Your girlfriend is a fat pig and Jim Norton fucked her messily when you were gone.
O&A RULE! Crinkle crinkle.

is that because of FL's :
(a) large old jew population
(b) large smelly illegal cuban population
(c) large redneck trash population
(d) all of the above

Hello, my niggers!

Oh you guys... You're SO super!!!
I like your user name. It has a nice woody sound to it. Not like antelope; that's too tinny. Tinny.
Ever have that Sobe stuff? I tried some Saturday and it was pretty damn good. Guano Tea flavor or something like that.
Sweet and sour chicken sub.
Nestea raspberry iced tea
Total cost = $7.00
There once was a nigger from Lang,
Who's coon ass the Klan did hang.
When he was dead,
They chopped off his head.
And that was the end of his gang.
