I think I prefer Brant's version, if only because it's less likely to get stuck in my head.  :hehe:

I never really wanted to be a scientist.
I wanted to be...a...a SYSADMIN!

    [system engineer choir and shift supervisor enter, music strikes up]

Oh, I'm a sysadmin and I'm OK,
I grep all night and I chown all day.

    [choir]

He's a sysadmin and he's OK,
He greps all night and he chowns all day.
 
I ping the nodes, I do PM,
I awk and perl and sed.
I've got a Star Wars lunchbox,
And Tron sheets on my bed!

    [choir]

He pings the nodes, he does PM,
He awks and perls and seds.
He's got a Star Wars lunchbox,
And Tron sheets on his bed!
 
I ping the nodes, I change the rates,
I fork the processes.
I wish that all my lusers
would catch some rare disease!

    [choir, growing slightly uncomfortable]

He pings the nodes, he changes rates,
He forks the processes.
He wishes all his lusers
would catch some rare disease!

    [choir brightens as they repeat chorus]

I ping the nodes, I lock the /home partition and umounts.
I post .gifs of my boss's daughter from his own account!

    [choir, very uncomfortable and trailing off]

He pings the nodes, he locks the /home partition and umounts,
He posts .gifs…?

Did somebody say "stuck in my head"?



I was once told never to include that song in an email ever again by a supervisor.

that was an absolutely shitty song by Jackyl, who didn't really have any non-shitty songs.  But it was lumberjacks

I can see why.  ;)  Pretty clever, though!

I didn't say it was a *good* song, only that it's less of an earworm.  :P

The Troops of the Napoleonic Wars – Grand Duchy of Warsaw Kickstarter campaign.  Yes, these are .stl files, and yes that’s a pain in the ass.  But you know what?  They are 28mm figs, which are not – repeat, not – those awkward off-putting 12mm ones.

I'm sure you could scale them down to 12mm without too much trouble. Might have to do a little work to make sure their rifles didn't get to slender and structurally unsound.

Man, I wish I'd know that trolling Cyrano was going to be this week's theme.  I'd have bought more tickets & popcorn for resell.

The second wave of BattleTech products from their last Kickstarter are now available to retail customers, including the Clan Invasion box set, and a bunch of battlemats, and a variety of card decks.

Sigh.  I miss BattleTech.

Errr... umm... Red Menace was released many years ago, 2nd Ed. in 2013 I think. It only just became available on Game Crafter.
