Lyr. Add: The Usenet Troll Song

Be a troll! Be a troll!
Let disruption be your goal-
Anything that you can do to draw attention to your roll
Egoboo can be nice
Get your fix at any price
You can make entire newsgroups into clucking little birdcoops.

Be a troll! Be a troll!
Pound their patience into coal
Tell the regulars they have no sense of flair
Insult their mothers too and their manners, pfoo!
Be a troll, be a troll, be a troll!

Make them burn, make them freeze
Sing of people scratching fleas
Snigger at the woes of others who are forced upon their knees
Stress and fear, jealous rage
Let them be your guiding guage
Then accuse the quiet suckers all as nosy mother****ers.

Don't be small, don't be tame
Show you have no sense of shame
Just enrage them til on stage their heads will roll
You love to shrill out a flame, it's all a giant game
Be a troll, dg a hole, you're a troll.

Flaming dues, barbecues
Ought to wake 'em where they snooze
Don't forget to douse the fires with proof 307 booze*
(song tangent): 307 Ale my friends, 307 Ale!
The finest drink that any bar has ever had for sale!...
(ahem) Feed them slugs, feed them snails
Put their legs between their tails
And so what if you are hated cuz their nerves are really grated.

When you leave, do salute
Give that middle finger toot
And be proud of your achievements in your soul
For you have shown that they are evil in their way
You're a troll-l-l-l, says our poll-l-l-l, you're a troll-l-l-l!
(or, "a-ass-ho-o-ole!")

Here's another one, in the DT, with the same admirable understanding of a puzzling phenomenon- NEWSGROUP PERSONALITY, by Tom Holt.

Maybe I should work up that poignant lament "The Final Troll." ;~)

Cheerily,
