Quote of the Day

“I know some who are constantly drunk on books as other men are drunk on whiskey.” ― H.L. Mencken

A fragmented excerpt from The Filer and the Astronaut by Louise Carol:

‘The time has come,’ the Filer said,

‘To talk of many things:

Of pups — and picks — and palimpsests —

Of Cadigan — and King —

And why this movie, cult is not —

And whether trolls believe.’

‘But scroll a bit,’ the Pixels cried,

‘Before you have your chat;

For some of us are full of links,

Oh do not rush so fast!’

‘No hurry!’ said the Astronaut.

They thanked him much for that.

‘A post of fifth,’ the Filer said

‘Is what we chiefly need:

Filking and Punnery besides

Are very good indeed —

Now, if you’re ready, Pixels dear,

We can begin to read.’

‘Pixels,’ said the Astronaut,

‘You’ve had a pleasant run!

Shall we be posting here again?’

But answer came there none —

And this was scarcely odd, because

They’d scrolled up every one.

~Comment from Stoic Cynic on File 770

Filk from File 770 by Camestros Felapton, based on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Is this more sci-fi?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a pixel

No escape to reality

Open your files

Look up on the web and see…

I’m just a pixel

Not a John Williams symphony

Because I’m easy come, easy go

Scrolling high, scroll low

Any way the pix scrolls

Doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Mamaaa just filmed a cat

Put a phone just near its head

Pushed the shutter, as it fed

Mamaaa, my likes have just begun

But now I’ve gone and thrown them all away

Mamaaaaaa, ooooooooh

Didn’t mean to make you share

If I don’t tweet this time again tomorrow

Carry on, carry on as if nothing viral matters

Too late, my GIF has gone

Of cat shivers down its spine

Like it’s eating the sublime

Goodbye, everybody

I’ve got to mute

Gonna leave social media to face the truth

Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, oooooooh (Anyway the pix scrolls…)

I don’t want these likes

Sometimes wish I’d never posted it at all

[Epic Guitar Solo]

[Sudden change of tempo]

I made an animated GIF of a dog

Scary pooch, Scary pooch, will you do the Fandango?

Bad contrast and lighting, very, very frightening me

(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo is irrelevant

Irrelevant-ant-ant

I’m just a pixel nobody loves me

He’s just a pixel from a scroll family

Spare him his life from this GIF travesty

Easy come, easy go, will you post this scroll?

Pixellah! No, we will not post this scroll

(Post this scroll!)

Pixellah! No, we will not post this scroll

(Post this scroll!)

Pixellah! We will not post this scroll

(Post this scroll!)(Will not post this scroll)

(Never, never, never, never)

Post this scro-o-o-oll

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, ABBA is in this scroll!

The iTunes Store put soundtrack aside for me, for me, for me!

[Heavy rock break]

So you think you can quote me and make fun of my cat?

So you think you can repost that picture of it in a hat?

Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

[Guitar Solo]

(Oooh yeah, Oooh yeah)

Nothing viral matters

Anyone can see

Nothing viral matters

Everything viral matters to me

Any way the pix scrolls….
