  • Walk On By

    From Jeff Urs@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 2 00:09:46 2021
    No, not that one. Yanked from within a nine-year-old thread (if only
    Overflow still was)...

    (to any tune for Bilbo's Walking Song)

    Within a thread there may, perforce,
    Be found the body of a horse,
    That well we do to pass on by,
    (For, beaten more, it yet will lie),
    And choosing, then, the wiser path,
    We may avert our fellows' wrath.
    Climate change and Pill and Roe,
    Overflow! Overflow!
    If you neither scan nor rhyme,
    Save our time! Save our time!

    I considered suggesting that the political thread go to Overflow.
    It's true that the last message I have from there is from December
    2018, but I can't find any announcement about it in the Newsgroup,
    which means I don't know for sure if it's alive or dead. And I'd very
    much not want to send a message to Overflow just asking if Overflow
    is still there.

    Following the link in that December 2018 message takes one to a lists.filknet.org Mailing Lists page that reports "No such list overflow".

    No one is currently using alt.music.filk for porn so we could use it
    for yammer & overflow.

    Splendid idea. And perhaps we could incite some porn.
