I've sat here pondering this particular OT season for sometime now and struggling to come up with an occasional feature that isn't too hard for me to find time to do, and then seeing the last couple days of threads in particular, it struck me that I could put a few of my talents to work in a series of self-conscious blog parodies written to the melodies of various tunes.
Indeed, I challenge others to do this as well as it is cathartic and would undoubtedly help some of us relieve the tedium until, say, the middle of August when we will be well into camp and unable to wait for the season any longer.
My first submission to the series is below:
“Bad MGoBlogger”
(sung to Stevie Wonder’s “Part-Time Lover”)
You post some shit about recruits
Some bad hot takes, insults to boot
You think there’s nothing wrong, bad MGoBlogger
The downvotes start, you wonder why
That’s when the snark begins to fly
And now you’ve killed a thread, bad MGoBlogger
You are struggling to defend your dumb notion
It’s half-cocked, riddled with emotion
When the words don’t come you turn it all around
Throw out a “fuck”, then run the ship aground
The call goes out to find the mods
The blog won’t tolerate the clods
Yes, that refers to you, bad MGoBlogger
And all those points you thought you had
Go down the john, it makes you mad
You brought it on yourself, bad MGoBlogger
You are struggling to defend your dumb notion
It’s half-cocked, riddled with emotion
When the words don’t come you turn it all around
Throw out a “fuck”, then run the ship aground
You cannot see the problem with that post
But it’s so wrong, so much worse than most
You think that you’re being singled out
You likely are, of that there’s no doubt
I will not ask, I’ll just tell ya
Your next stop is Bolivia
This site is not for you, bad MGoBlogger
You’ll go create one more account
Try it again, but you discount
That people won’t spot you, bad MGoBlogger
Ghost of some bad MGoBlogger
Voltron too, bad MGoBlogger
For those unfamiliar with the original song:
