From: Aquarion Subject: [I] Filk: Admin Blues Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 00:31:14 +0000 Your humble fishtank is having a bad week. Or, rather, his server is. The story is long and complicated (And archived for now and evermore at ) but it boils down to this: Since midnight on Sunday 3rd Feb, every few minutes Paypal send me a blank email with the subject "Don't forget to claim your money from Oliver Newman" This gets me irritated, so I wrote a filk. Paypal Mail Blues ----------------- (TTTO Fool On The Hill) Post after post. Alone in the room. The man with the linux server getting letters of doom. They all seem to come from paypal and theres nothing that he can do And nobody knows the answer but the pop on the box sees the messages round. And the admin's new toy sees them all compressed down... thousand and one, They keep coming round. Repeating for each five minutes like a Merry-go-round And he never even sees them, he can see they're sent by fools abuse-at don't even answer but the pop on the box sees the messages round. And the admin's new toy sees them all compressed down... And the emails keep on flowing, server's admin has no clue, at our end we keep on dealing but the pop on the box sees the messages round. And the admin's new toy sees them all compressed down... Ohh-ohh-oh-ohhh-oh-oh! And down, and down, and down, and down, and down... And the admin would like to lart them he is sure now paypal are fools. In fact he'd quite like to kill them and the pop on the box sees the messages round. And the admin's new toy sees them all compressed down... Ooooooooh Oooohh -=Fin=- Yours in total sincerity Aquarion
