Letters to you

I'm nerdy in the extreme, I'm whiter than sour cream"...

I was pointed to this by nobbyknees and lillith39.

This travesty was the result of

1) Rialian upgrading my linux box so it now includes a DVD burner/CD RW/player that actually works without a problem in Linux and

2) Observing some sys admin super geeks at the club last night, pretending to be studly goths.

So ok, maybe they *were* studly goths, but I didn't get close enough to Check. This morning I was trying to describe them and said something like, "They were all dressed like mysterious hardcores, but they were obviously supergeeks". Then my mind did a horrible, horrible jump to Rick James' Superfreak (http://lyrical.nl/song/7261). From there, of course the next step was filking the entirety of Superfreek into The Thing That Should Not Be (dedicated to rialian):

( Supergeek )

A few days ago, rialian wanted to go to Ranger Surplus Plus to try and find his favorite kind of boots - an indestructible police style boot that he easily wears holes through in less than a year... So anyway, there we were in the neighborhood of Rangers, and we found that in the past year it has become Little South America. The energy of it has changed dramatically, and being there feels like being in another country. Who needs to go to Cancun, when you can go to Sunny Wheaton. There is savory smoke pouring out of the many little kitchens, loud salsa music pumped onto the street, crowds of colorfully dressed people thronging everywhere, no parking whatsoever, and a lot of moving cars narrowly missing one another... So anyway, there I was, easily mistaken for a Spanish woman, with this tall blond guy. Of course, all the Spanish people glowered at me in that special way that meant "you are scum for being with that paleface". "I'm a Rockvillian of Greek descent!" I thought really loudly at them, to no avail. They still glowered. On the way back from this episode, I mentioned that "I practically expect to see Chupacabra walking down the street around here". (Chupacabra is a mythical creature from South America briefly described here: http://skepdic.com/chupa.html).

Anyway, rialian immediately ran with this and started singing "Chupacabra justa walkin down the street, singing doo-wahdiddy diddydum diddyday". So that was how it came to be that the following travesty had to be written:

Chupacabra just a-walkin' down the street
singin doo-wah-diddy diddy-dum diddy-day.
Lookin around for something good to eat
singin doo-wah-diddy diddy-dum diddy-day

Signs all said
"Eat our Chicken"
'Nuff to make
a Choopy sicken...

But theeeen, he arrived at a shop
And he found just the thing that he loves...
Next thing you know
He was sucking upon
A brand new pair of kid gloooooves....!

Chupacabra just a walkin down the street
singin doo-wah-diddy diddy-dum diddy-day.
Lookin around for something good to eat
singin doo-wah-diddy diddy-dum diddy-day...
