- of course the newbie doesn't fucking scan;
- he hasn't got the brains god gave amoebae.
- but set a good example, if you can,
- and soon we shall forget the twerp completely.
- it really isn't any use to say
- that talk.bizarre is not what once it was;
- another hundred newbies every day
- could grind us slowly into lifeless dust.
-
- but if we stay, and if we post our best,
- and just ignore the worthless and the crass,
- with brilliance, we shall overcome the rest,
- and they will see the light and kiss our ass.
- don't tell me what you're thinking. yes, i know:
- it's true. carasso simply has to go.
