Hold on, I've got that lying about here someplace... Here you go then--one SoM song parody, the product of a fit of boredom suffered by Obscurity a while back: -----begin quote----- Some people get by with a little alt dot gothic some people get by with a whole lot more I don't know why my server's being so lethargic One thing I know ... I want news. And I need all the posts I can read and I need all the posts that I can't read too. D'you get bored ? at one a.m. When nothing has been posted no news, no faqs, no names for all those gothic cats, Nowt from Alice, and nothing from bat. Some people get by with a little alt dot gothic some people get by with a whole lot more I don't know why my server's being so lethargic One thing I know ... I want news. And I need all the posts I can read and I need all the posts that I can't read too . . . There are posts on here that don't get boring but not a thing tonight I can't find a single thread not even Nowhere's shite waiting to read all of the gossip but nothing yet a magical flamewar or Whitby writeup anything I can get. Some people get by With a little alt dot gothic Some people get by with a whole lot more [etc . . .] ------end quote------ Later... -- | "My friend, blood shaking my heart Ronald M.
