TITLE: Every Bit Is Sacred
Lyrics and Chords

[Meaning of Life, the]

There are Nerds in the world, there are Techies
There are Admins and Gurus and then
There are those that follow Mainframing Unix, but
I've never been one of them

(A7) / D - - - / G A7 D - / E - A - / E7 - A - /

I'm a Network Admin
And have been since Thick net was born
And the one thing they say about Admins - is
They'll kill the guy who caused network storm.

/ A7 - D - / / E - A - / E7 - A - /

You don't have to be a Telco-er
You DO have to have a great brain
You don't have to have any social life -
You're Admin the moment Boss rang, because

{Refrain 1}
Every bit is sacred
Every bit is great
If a bit is wasted
Cisco?s quite irate

/ D A7 D D7 / G D E7 A7 / D D7 G Gm / D A7 D - /

{Refrain 1}

Let the heathen lose theirs
In the tangled 'Net
Admin shall make them pay for
Each IP that's a re-direct.

{Refrain 2}
Every bit is wanted
Every bit is good
Every bit is needed
In your FIOS-hood

Lowlevel Vendors
Spill theirs just anywhere
But the Admin loves those who treat their
Network with more care

{Refrain 1}

... / D E7 A7 - /

{Refrain 2}

Every bit is useful
Every bit is fine
Intarweb needs everybody's bits-
Mine, and mine, and mine

Let the Wireless spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill and plain
Admin shall strike them down for
Each bit that's traffic in vain

{Refrain 2}

{Refrain 1}

Oh, more Scummy I guess :D

I dont feel different -- however I wanna slap these people from the airlines on C-span.

I loved the lady who says "We should be commended for our ongoing test programs for security at airports". A few minutes later "we have not implemented any of these as of yet, they are still testing"

Why the F*** should they be commended if they have done nothing and are asking for more govt. money?

by w2ktechman

if I had access to WMD's, these people would not be here now :D

of course, the total population of the world would be much lower too (probably in the range of 1/10,000,000 less or more).

there is a short instrumental break.

Is this a real song by Monty Python or did some "weird Al" type come up with new words for the original?

I'd like for them to explain their seat pricing system.

How can it be cheaper for my parents to connect from Wilmington NC through Charlotte NC going to Houston TX, than to fly to Houston originating from Charlotte on the same plane they would have connected with?

Cha - Hou - $260

I can have a 3 hour lay over and somehow they manage to still "delay" my bag and then it take 3 freakin days for them to get it back to me when it arrived at the airport 2 hours after I left and the aiport is only 20 minutes from where I live and then the courier has the nerve to get mad at me because I'm not home on a Monday afternoon when he delivered it after I was up till 1:30 AM the night before because they said they would deliver it and never showed up!!!

I hate flying. This is why if the trip is 12 hours or less I will always drive.

We have just had a new terminal, Terminal Five opened at London Heathrow at a cost of ?4.3bn (yep, bn).

Almost 30,000 bags were lost in the first week because the baggage handlers weren't shown how to use the new system. AMore than 500 flights were cancelled by the end of the weekend, delaying more than 100,000 passengers in the same period.

This went on for several weeks. British Airways knew that they would only load around %10 of bags per flight but didn't tell passengers in case they cancelled.

It's all OK now but there are still mountains of lost bags.

Me? I'm going to fly from London Gatwick until service pack one comes out.

So, what should [b]she[/b] be doing with [b]her[/b] time?

Pretty good effort, says I. There is a Monty Python history on this site and Cute has combined tech and MP nicely.

Cute, thank you, I enjoyed it even though I'D ONLY JUST GOT THE BLOODY TUNE OUT OF MY HEAD FROM LAST TIME.

Oh, and please don't let this undeserved criticism kill your muse. I don't know what you've done to upset him or her but dissing you twice in this thread is a bit mean. I'd say they're a bit humourless and dour that far Up North or it could just be radiation from Sellafield.

Chill out, Ceespace! Gimme six!

I did this just for you. Since you'd commented so NICELY about it on the other thread, I thought, hey... Let's see what we can do! I'm sure Find & Replace will work with sperm to bit....what else can we tweak...

Yes, I have too much time on my hands. So sue me. Or in UK language, SOD OFF. :)

I enjoy doing things like this, and If Ceespace needs a bit more lemon in his cuppa, tell me.

Toodleoo!

Someone still says this? I thought it was only used in cheesy Hollywood shows :^0

No. not laughing at you Cutie, just laughing

by ceespace

it's no criticism - I thought it was excellent!
maybe I should have said that in my post

So I guess they are the chords of the instrumental breaks. Although, as I have the same musical knowledge as a small piece of green putty, I may be wrong.

by maecuff

It's so wonderful that you are here to let people know when they have too much time on their hands.

Do you get paid for this service? Or is it just your personal calling in life?

Or do you just not have anything better to do?

by cuteelf

Oh, I'm just happy today/tonight, so my cheese factor is wayyyyyy past Brie..towards 10 yr old aged Sharp Cheddar.
