Today’s Earworm

Guess what was playing on the Classic Rock station this morning….

Praise the Lord and pass the Geritol!

Today’s Earworm

If I cannot bring you comfort, then at least I bring you hope.

Geek Christmas Carols

Yeah, I’m finally in the mood.  Not the Christmas mood, just a mood.

Jingle bells, UNIX smells
Windows laid an egg
The mainframe it just vapor locked
But the VAX is A-OK!


I’m dreaming of a white laptop
Just like Jobs used to sell
With a one button mouse
It costs as much as a house
But it goes with black turtlenecks so well!


The users called me
The network is down
They can’t surf their pr0n
The network is down
The tech is on his way
The network is down
Email jokes can’t be sent!
The network is down
Network is down
Network is down


Silent NOC
Happy NOC
No alerts
No drama
Reading a novel
And eating take-out
Hoping my shift
is quiet no doubt
Keep my board clea–ar
Ke-ep my board so clear


Just see those servers crashing
And hard drives thrashing
Oh joy!
This is a great profession
for someone with a pain obsession
Oh boy!

Frosty the Snow Ghoul

Frosty the snow ghoul
Was a slushy, slimy guy
With a mouthful of teeth and a carrot nose
And murder in his eye
Oh Frosty the snow ghoul
Was undead as he could be
And the legends say
He could laugh and slay
Little kids like you and me
Down through the village
With a war axe in his claw
Swinging here and there
All around the square
Feeding children into his maw
Choppety chop chop
Choppety chop chop
Look at Frosty swing
Choppety chop chop
Choppety chop chop
That evil undead thing
There must have been some magic
In that Mosin Nagant I found
For when I tried to cycle the bolt
I was able to load a round
Oh Frosty the snow ghoul
Melted in the fireball
So we collected his axe
And we nailed his hat
Up on the city wall.
Frosty the snow ghoul
Is a curse upon the land
So say your prayers
And always walk in pairs
For his return may be at hand!

I’m taking the afternoon off and spending it with Boo.  He’s having a picnic and Sesame Street for lunch before we brave the cold of a Kentucky winter (hah!).

Sesame Street decided they wouldn’t play this one for the kids, and after seeing the singer jiggle as she ran after Elmo, I think I can see why.  Not that I’m complaining.  Hey, I like pretty brunettes as much as the next guy.

This man is a genius.

I need a break from Christmas Carols.
