I am the very model of a Usenet individual!
In the interest in lightening the mood, I thought I'd share the
following to fellow rec.aviation.piloting readers: Last time I checked no one had recorded it to audio, yet here is the infamous "I am the very model of a Usenet individual" (based on the "I am the very model of a modern major-general" song from Gilbert and Sullivan's play ""The Pirates of Penzance") in all its absurd audio glory (lyrics thoughtfully printed out): http://www.fun-with-english.co.uk/20...g-podcast.html Still, my favorite major-general song parody is still "I am the very model of a heroine barbarian": http://www.luxumbradei.com/parody/xena.html Links to other versions of the major-general song parodies are gathered he http://www.luxumbradei.com/parody/piratesidx.html |

(To the tune of, "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover): You know, when I first heard Paul Simon's song I didn't like it for some reason. Not the lyrics so much as the melody. But I grew out of my dislike and came to appreciate both the lyrics and the melody. Your lyrics are amusing, apropos, and worth repeating: The problem is all across USENET, he said to me From alt.pix.puppies to rec.autos.datsun.z I'd like to help you try to stop his awful tune There must be fifty ways to whack a net-loon ...fifty ways to whack a net-loon.
