I’m not sure why I did this – I don’t even particularly like Jimmy Buffett (other than the pleasant memories he evokes from my days sailing off the Pacific coast of Mexico, when he was required listening amongst the Cortez cruisers.) Sometimes I just get these compulsions, you know?
Blogaritaville – with apologies to
Jimmy Buffett
Postin’ a new rant
(Tomorrow I’ll recant)
About politicians that I despise
Drinkin’ some more beer
Blogosphere’s Shakespeare
Watch the hitcount beginnin’ to rise
Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in Blogaritaville
Thinkin’ about my next killer post
Some bloggers claim that they’re not in it for fame
Can’t be bothered with a riposte
I’m not on the A-List
So I guess I’ll just get pissed
Nothin’ to show but these irate comments
But they’re some amusing
Feedback on my boozing
How they got there I haven’t a clue
Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in Blogaritaville
Thinkin’ about my next killer post
Some bloggers claim that it’s a zero-sum game
Now I think
Hell, in that case I’m toast
I blew out my template
Javascript applet
Borked stylesheets now it looks kinda crap
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me blog on
Wastin’ away again in Blogaritaville
Drinkin’ my beer with lemon and salt
Some people claim I’ve got no sense of shame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim I’ve got a stupid pen-name
And I know it’s my own damn fault
Update : A quick Googling, which in my fever to finish the doggerel above I neglected to do, shows me that there is (pretty darn groovy) prior art here. Not that that should surprise, I guess.
jimmy would be proud of you…
i did my own version of “jenny from the blog” but THIS kicks ass.
