 		Fishin' To Post Rag
Ages ago, I wrote this when someone called for an online revolution against trout. Blatantly stolen from the I'm Fixin' To Die Rag by Country Joe & The Fish, I present...

I'm Fishin' to Post Rag
- Urban Imbri & The Cats

Well, come on all of you ARGonauts,
UPDATE!'s come, let us hear those thoughts.
Too late, the message was posted
there's no worry, you'll just get roasted.
So, put down your words and post them again,
Fishin' ain't just for outdoorsmen.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we posting for?
Don't ask me, I don't have a clue,
Addicted just like you;
And it's five, six, seven,
Pull out the serving plates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! Trout are gonna fry.

Yeah, come on puzzlers, you're movin' slow.
Your big chance to show what you know
There's plenty good plot to be found
Even if the answer's been passed around
Just hope and pray when they serve you trout,
It doesn't come with sauerkraut.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we posting for?
Don't ask me, I don't have a clue,
Addicted just like you;
And it's five, six, seven,
Pull out the serving plates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! Trout are gonna fry.

Well, come on trolls, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Now you can go out and get those nerds
'Cause the only good post is empty words
And you know that trout can only be flung
If you're slinging what's already been slung

And it's one, two, three,
What are we posting for?
Don't ask me, I don't have a clue,
Addicted just like you;
And it's five, six, seven,
Pull out the serving plates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! Trout are gonna fry.

Come on thinkers, thoughts already told,
Post the spec again before it gets old.
Come on doubters, it's not a crime
To prove them wrong for the millionth time.
You can be the first one in the thread
To have your fish served with its head.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we posting for?
Don't ask me, I don't have a clue,
Addicted just like you;
And it's five, six, seven,
Pull out the serving plates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! Trout are gonna fry.

 		Revival of "Internet is for Porn" but modified to "Internet is for ARG".

No lyrics available from me, just wanted to throw out that suggestion.

 		Well, and for Ehsan and anyone else who hasn't seen a game they liked in a while...

There's a game for us.
Somewhere a game for us...

Scrappy, ScrappyDoo, we love you
We love your legs and titties
The post's a mystery but we can see
the way you bitchslap those kiddies

Scrappy, ScrappyDoo, we count on you
to keep our forum error-free
but in every thread, you'll wish you were dead
when you see what they did to PXC

You know we count on you to see it through
We need you to root out those trolls (one more--oh noes!)
And when that PM doesn't have a kloo we know he'll hear from you
as you read him the riot act (that's a fact!)

Scrappy, ScrappyDoo, be fast and true
you're ready and you're online
There's some spam to kill and if you will
Some boob forgot to search again

 		We Will ARG You / We are unFiction"
To the tune of "We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions" by Queen

People you are here in a place where
Playin' games don't mean rolling dice landing on Park Place.
You got email today
Saying Tommy's okay
But you better solve that puzzle 'fore the end of the day.

We will we will ARG you
We will we will ARG you

Wasn't looking hard, found a rabbit
Followed down the hole but now you're not sure what it is you see.
There's a phone call with a clue
And now you know just what to do
You never know when that rabbit will come looking for you.

We will we will ARG you.
We will we will ARG you.

As the days and weeks and months go
By you find yourself living in the world that was a game.
But this is not a game, you see.
And you're not ashamed to be
Talkin' with your friends and family about A-R-G.

We will we will ARG you.
We will we will ARG you.


We've had some fun
As a kind of hive
Four years have passed
Since this site came alive
All those trailheads
Puzzles to solve
We've seen so many games enter and leave
While our genre evolved

We are unFiction, my friends
And we'll keep on playing 'til the end!
We are unFiction
We are unFiction
No place for losers
'Cause we are unFiction -- for the win!

We've struggled at times
While we talk things out
We've seen the birth and the growing pains of a genre --
And rocked it hard
And it's through imagination
And a strong love of play
That we've held together for all of these years
And we're here to stay!

We are unFiction, my friends
And we'll keep on playing 'til the end!
We are unFiction
We are unFiction
No place for losers
'Cause we are unFiction -- for the win!

We are unFiction, my friends
And we'll keep on playing 'til the end!
We are unFiction
We are unFiction
No place for losers
'Cause we are unFiction...

In a monetary lapse in judgement, I almost recorded this song onto mp3. Then I lapsed back to the dude-you're-almost-30-and-you-have-kids-who-don't-need-to-be-further-embarrassed-by-you world.

I Will Survive (Bee Lovin' Redux)
-------------------------------------------

At first I was afraid
Just a n00b was I
Kept thinking I could never post
Without a trout reply;

And then I played so many BLARGS
Waiting for the next big GAIM
They were lame
I left to play my 360

But now I'm back
for Halo 3!
I heard they're making this new ARG
Where I could win it all for free

I hadn't known about the phones
Nobody told me to love bees
If I had known for just one second
Microsoft would have owned me


So now I'll play
"Bees I Adore"
I regestired #BIA
'Cause I'm no Kilroy anymore

Unfriendly ARGers tried to threadjack this fine game
They said it's stupid
Said I should quit and called me names

Oh no not I
I will survive
I'll go on to make my own forums
I'll be keeper of the hive

I'll make all the haters flee
That leaves all the swag for me

I'll own the hive
I will survive
Hey hey


I checked the site for kloos
It's just a countdown now
But I'm sure that come tomorrow
You'll be saying wow

I bet you it's those 4orty 2wo
With Bungie all behind the scenes
I'm sure it's them
Domains by Proxy's how I know

Just look at me
No longer lost
I'm not that newly joining player
Who spoilered every post

I wrote the guide for BIA
I own official forums too
I no longer need Unfiction
Let them keep on missing Mu


So now I'll play
"Bees I Adore"
I regestired #BIA
'Cause I'm no Kilroy anymore

I'll make all the haters flee
That leaves all the swag for me

I'll own the hive

I will survive

-------------------------------------------

 		I'm working on it
These are all great. I needed a good laugh.

I am working on mine but give me a few days. Life is busy right now so I can only work on songs in between meetings (and looking for more PXC characters to scare off)

 		first try - tune of Everybody Hurts. (still working on it.)
When the game is stopped and the spec, the spec is all you've got
When you've stared at the page until your brain, begins to rot,

Don't hit F5 no, cause no updates yet and every game stalls sometimes.

Sometimes the game jumps the track, til the PMs put it back

When your game has lost the plot (hold on, hold ,on)
If you've tried all that you know (hold on)
And you've anagramed each line as your brain, begins to rot .

See every game stalls. It's not the bitter end.
Every game stalls. Its not the end.
Oh, no. Its not the end.

When old clues are all you've got, no, don't try another ROT
If you can't decompile the flash, time for a brute-force hack?
Cause being stuck means your brain, your brain begins to rot

Well, every game stalls sometimes .
Every game stops. And every game stalls sometimes.

And every game stalls sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
