From: "David Chapman" Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [I] Filk Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 19:45:59 +0100 To the tune of "Eat the Rich", by Aerosmith. Well we woke up this morning On the wrong side of the bed And how we got to thinkin' About all the things you said Like "Hi there, I'm a newbie" It makes us want to gag But we've got an excuse to flame 'Cause you forgot to tag. Now we're sick of all your askin' What the next book is about And you always leave on CAPS LOCK We hate it when you shout You've had the newsgroup ground rules Explained by some Old Fart But we can give you much more Clue With this here fuckin' LART! CHORUS: Read the FAQs! There's only one thing they're posted for Read the FAQs! Read one right now, come back for more Read the FAQs! We gotta get this off our chests Read the FAQs! The MIGRAF now, come back for the rest So we posted on AFP "RTFFAQ, And do it now, you bastards Or we're gonna killfile you." And don't go acting sulky Because we're being rude You'll just get into trouble If you don't go and get Clued. Now there's no excuse for asking If Terry P is here You're just spreading out September To 3-6-5 days a year But there's one good thing that happens When you're flaming every day The newbies wasting our bandwidth Give up and go away! CHORUS Hey newbies, don't ask questions That folk have asked before You wouldn't get flamed so damn much If you'd just lurk some more We don't go in for forgiveness Your leeway must be earned So read the FAQs, and maybe You won't get so burned! CHORUS Read the FAQs! There's only one thing they're posted for Read the FAQs! Read one right now, come back for more Read the FAQs! Don't worry if you're goin' crazy Read the FAQs! That's our idea of a good AFP -- Cut off an arm - it shall sprout anew! Cut off a leg - TEN shall grow in its' place!
