Sydney to Hobart II

So, Friday I go down to spend the day on the Lady Nelson.

'Twas The Week After Christmas

'Twas the week after Christmas
And all through the house
Not one pc was working
Not even a mouse

I turned on the power
But nothing was working
I grabbed the computer
And started banging and jerking

I laid out three grand
For this big piece of junk
On January 1st
The damn thing went "kerplunk"!

I threw it out the window
It made such a clatter
My neighbor just called
To see what's the matter

I turned on the TV
The cable is down
My microwave oven
Is making weird sounds

My new VCR
Is as dead as a rock
Not one light is blinking
Not even the clock

It's twenty below
The peak of snow season
The furnace won't work
The pipes are all freezing

This couldn't have happened
At a worse time
I think I have frostbite
On my behind

I laughed for a second
And thought it all funny
Till a call from my bank
Said "Regards to your money-

We managed your pension
And savings with care
But for some odd reason
Your money's not there
We were y2k ready
We'd thought we'd be heroes
But regret to inform you
Your balance is... zeros"!

I dropped the receiver
To the bathroom I rushed
And push down the handle
But the toilet won't flush

I turned on the faucet
Not one drop hit the sink
So I went out the door
To the bar for a drink

I jumped in the car
Turned the key in the switch
It only went "click"
I screamed,"Son of a bitch!"

A computerized ignition
Just sealed my fate
It wasn't set up
For the "2000" date

I twitched like a madman
This cannot be true
No car, heat, or money
What the hell can I do

Shouting obscenities
I ran out of sight
Happy Y2K to all
It's one hell of a night!

Back later

Going... and won't be back until next year :(


Happy New Year for all those who'll be meeting it before I get back (that's hmm capnoblivious and cached41 I think).
