Halfbakerman
I just figured we need one for the convention and PA meetings. (Dedicated to 1percent, ravenswood, bookworm, Steve DeGroof, angel and everyone I couldn't fit in, including PotatoStew) | |
It's would've been 2am on a Saturday
The regular crowd would've been logging in
There'd have been a Cocktail Sippy Cup sitting next to me
Full of Mountain Dew, tonic and gin
Someone's posted an annotation to an idea of mine
And I'm not really sure what it means
It's
some bizarre rant about a Church of No Pants
And recycled, invisible jeans.
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
<Chorus>
Bake us an idea, you're the halfbakerman
Bake us something funky tonight,
Well, we're all in the mood for some Mud Farm
And you've got us feelin' alright
</Chorus>
Now Jutta seems like an old friend of mine
She provides us this website for free
And she can take most of our jokes but can turn you to smoke
If there's something she'd rather not see
She says, "Guys, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile runs away from her face
"Well I'm sure that I could move more of these Tshirts
If more people promoted this place"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now PeterSealy's missus is in real estate
She must be a tolerant wife
'Cause he's always online, proclaiming "Baked" all the time
Perhaps we could get him a life?
The verb egnor is arguing with Peter
While the rest of us look on in awe
We'd like to step in, but we'd best not begin
While this pair have control of the floor.
<Chorus>
With Absterge and Beauxeault and Aristotle
Waugsqueke, Dog Ed and Zip
Thumbwax, StarChaser and Monkfish
And Rods Tiger on some kinda trip
</Chorus>
Well, it's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And Susen's soliloquies make me smile
'Cause the halfbakery is where she'd rather be
To forget about life for a while
Then Iuvare and Salmon and DrBob
Globaltourniquet and Nutsy appear
I glance at my clock, and get quite a shock
And think, "Man! what am I doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

HAHAHAHAHAHA.... *wipes his eyes clear of tears*... *gets back in his chair*... *starts writing, to the exclusion of whatever it was that he was getting paid for* |
|

[absterge] is certainly not the only B/2er who will get no more work done today. //creates new account for the purpose of voting twice// (kidding) |
|
| |
I sacrificed some of the feel of the original song to fit in more of our cherished luminaries. I also thought that the ubiquitous PeterSealyBot and the "humble" egnor deserved a whole verse to themselves. |
|
| |
As should jutta, and a lame attempt to sell some of the Tshirts... I have mine, and my apron BTW, and they cost me AUD$125 all up (Oh, the tyranny of distance !). What are _you_ waiting for?

To quote one of my former students (before I'd completed my work on his dear little
mind): "I got a honorable mention! I gotta honorable mention!" |
|
| |
UB, you must know where this is going. Some desperate Hollywood type, starved for
new ideas while his writers are on the picket line, will come across this site and start
poaching us off. You'll be first, of course. |
|
| |
Long after we're all recruited, rich, and thoroughly sick of one another, we'll be on
a press-junket plane, and the thing will crash. Because this plane will have been
custom-designed to our obsessive specifications, we'll all survive. Next thing you
know, it'll be PeterSealy, egnor, globaltourniquet, mrkillboy, Susen, waugsqueke, and
all the rest of us on a desert island, armed only with a bunch of airline peanut
packets, a few kegs of custard, and no spoons. |
|
| |
Ever read "Lord of the Flies"? |
|
| |
((( To the soul of the HalfBakery ))) |
|
| |
Let's see... airline peanuts, kegs of custard, no spoons. Yeah, that'll get us home, no problem. |
|
| |
And a soccerball 1%, you forgot the soccerball. |
|
| |
This should be at the top of the best list, up above "1" somewhere and an updated commemorative t-shirt. Marvelous. |
|
| |
Now if only I had a wheelbarrow... |
|
| |
You know, I don't pretend to be able to top this, but as I see it, maybe John Lennon's _All You Need is Love_, with minor alterations, is all the song we need. |
|
| |
There's nothing you can do that hasn't been done
nothing you can sing that they won’t have been singing
nothing you can say that PeterSealy won't find a link for
it’s easy
there’s nothing you can bake that hasn’t been half-baked
nothing you can vote for that isn't lame
nothing you can do but you can waste a great deal of time
it’s easy
all you need is custard all you need is custard
all you need is custard custard is all you need
custard custard custard (etc.) |
|
| |
or something like that. OK, maybe we should just stick with Piano Man... |
|
| |
What a pleasant surprise to see that I've been immoralized in song. Now I wish I'd used my real name. |
|
| |
UB, do you think you could do a slightly more revolution-tinted anthem for the Guerrilla Halfbakers? |
|
| |
Done, beauxeault [Link]

|
| |
'immoralized in song'? ewww? Is that possible, beaux? |
|
| |
Hmm ... a soccer ball. It has potential, UB. In pinch, the soccer ball could be used as a flotation device. |
|
| |
And now we have the Guerilla Halfbakers' fight song! We've got the basics, comrades: favorite foodstuffs, national anthem, armed forced fight song. Can statehood be far off? |
|
| |
Personally, I'm ready to secede this minute. Got my beach bag right here ... water wings, sunblock, "The Elements of Style", cleats, keg tap, Swiss Army Spoon ... |
|
| |
Good eyes, absterge. I just thought "immoralized" fit the situation a little better than the more traditional word. |
|
| |
This is a stunning work of art. Gave me goosebumps. |
|
| |
This should have MANY more votes by now! Also, some annotations don't make sense due to the re-write...can we have some deletions? I ask only because I want to print this out to save for posterity and I want it to be neat. Thanks! |
|
| |
Edited down to the pertinent annotations. |
|
| |
Nice one, UnaBubba but there's a verse missing.
There's a rare international flavour,
pervading the halfbakery.
And it seems that we're all in agreement
That the club song is this one, UB! |
|
| |
Or you could set words to this link, but keep in mind... |
|
| |
Presumably the first and possibly the best (still trawling though). |
|
| |
This really should make the album. |
|
| |
Could try. Keyboards aren't really my forte though. Neither is singing. Oh well, I was always going to have to call in a few favours :-) |
|
| |
Edited, to fit to new name, as suggested by recording studio's marketing department. |
|
| |
Bravo! There just aren't enough kazoos in Billy Joel songs, IMHO - sorted. [+] |
|
| |
[Wagster], that's... that's... that's just beautiful. <sniff!> |
|
| |
"Beautiful" might be pushing it, but I'm glad you like it. I must use the kazoo more often, it is a finely made instrument of great potential. |
|
| |
Damn, [wagster], that mp3 is cuter than bees knees. Nicely done, sir! |
|
| |
not pushing it at all - its in my list of favourites... |
|
| |
I particularly like the kid, at the end, calling out , "Mum, Dad's on the halfbakery again!" |
|
| |
Billy Joel may as well give up and retire.
[wagster] and [UnaBubba], you two are legendary!
Piano-shaped pastries coming your way! |
