The Artist Formerly Known as UnaBubba
It ain't me.

Inspired by an anno by [lintkeeper2] and by general admiration of *The Artist Formerly Known as [UnaBubba]*. I'm still pretty new here... apologies if I have offended anyone.

(to tune of Prince's 'Raspberry Beret')

I was lurking full time in a kitchen-like clime
My boss was [anonymity]
He told me several times not to halfbake while on-line
'Cos I was a bit too leisurely

Seems that I was browsing something close to nothing
Stupider ideas than ever before
Throw your noisy printers, your effing printers
From your building's top floor, top floor

Twenty-two ideas a day
Filtering trolls gets to be such a bore
Twenty-two ideas a day
The kind you find in a second hand store
Twenty-two ideas a day
I think I slumber

Bitchy like I was
You had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do it any harm
So, look here
I put the other newbie on the back of my bike
And we went riding
Down by old man Johnnie's Farm

I said now, your other i-deas never turned me on
But something about the croissants and her mixed
She wasn't too bright
But I could tell when she deleted me*
She knew how to get her kicks

(* annos)

Twenty-two ideas a day
Filtering trolls gets to be such a bore
Twenty-two ideas a day
The kind you find in a school in grade four
Twenty-two ideas a day
I think I slumber

One idea per month don't look so cool when you're being uncouth
And [lintkeeper2] wonder who [UB] are**
The crap drowns out what the lightning seeks
An idea that is a star

** definitely not me, thanks for asking

Listen
They say your first idea ain't the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance to do it all again

I would have another poke
'Cause baby I'm not the most
Vicious as [UB] was back then

(Twenty-two ideas a day)
The kind you find (The kind you find)
The kind you find (In a second hand store)
Oh no no
(Fishbone fishbone)
(And if it was warm)
Where have all the croissants gone?

I think I... I think I... I think I would love one

       // we believe you! //   

       Pretty sure there is nothing in the quality of my work to date that would suggest otherwise...

Lacus Trasumenus, Jun 18 2004
  

       so modest!

       Anagram: A muscular sunset   

       we believe you!

thumbwax, Jun 18 2004
  

       Well, I know who you are.

ldischler, Jun 18 2004
  

       yes but who are *you*

po, Jun 18 2004
  

       I've hidden behind my real name.

ldischler, Jun 18 2004
  

       [po] - you're not asking who *I* am are you?   

       [thumb] hope you haven't been waiting long for an idea of mine to use that anagram??

Lacus Trasumenus, Jun 18 2004
  

       I saw [UnaBubba] drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

lintkeeper2, Jun 18 2004
  

       [LT] Relax. I was responding to po.

ldischler, Jun 18 2004
  

       Me neither.

skinflaps, Jun 18 2004
  

       Sorry [Idischler], my misunderstanding. I've edited my overly defensive anno. Was the //I know who you are// responding to po as well?

Lacus Trasumenus, Jun 18 2004
  

       // There would be very few usernames here that are reflective of real names.// I'm hiding behind the name David Scothern. Make up your own mind. :p

david_scothern, Jun 18 2004
  

       Op is an anagram of [po]!

MikeOliver, Jun 18 2004
  

       Apologies to Sting

"Every breath you take
Every click you make
Every vote you take
Every post you bake
He'll be watching you

Oh can't you see - where's the real UB?
Among all the fakes
He'll take up more space..."

<passing the baton to someone else....>

badgers, Jun 18 2004
  

       // It ain't me. // ... but that's exactly what you would say if you ARE [UB] and you wanted to fool us, isn't it?

luecke, Jun 18 2004
  

       [luecke] True.

Lacus Trasumenus, Jun 18 2004
  

       [LT] appears to live in a city several hundred km removed from [UB]'s. It definitely isn't him /her. :)

ConsulFlaminicus, Jun 18 2004
  

       [luecke]: ...and that's exactly what you would say if you wanted to take attention away from yourself, isn't it?   

       <obligatory sparticus>No, *I'm* [UnaBubba]!</os>   

       (Good, now that's out of the way...)

Detly, Jun 18 2004
  

       ha ha (nervous laughter) ... don't be silly [yabba], I was simply trying to point out the fact that... LOOK OVER THERE!   

       (dissapears)

luecke, Jun 18 2004
  

       Two clues:
1: He's still here.
2: He hasn't annotated this yet.
  

       well she was always very hairy.   

       2fries, don't be so sure of that.

po, Jun 18 2004
  

       I am only sure of my own mortality and even that has yet to be proved.   

       "No, I'M Spartacus !"

normzone, Jun 18 2004
  

       I'm [Lacus Trasumenus] !*   

       I cannot tell a lie. I cut down that Roman legion.

UnaBubba, Jun 18 2004
  

       if you are - then I want nothing to do with you ever again!

po, Jun 18 2004
  

       [po] has another career, as one of those weird guys who hang around subway stations, swearing at imaginary assailants.

UnaBubba, Jun 18 2004
  

       //swearing at imaginary assailants// Ha!   

       Is it just me, or is [Zanzibar] actually [po]?

Worldgineer, Jun 18 2004
  

       yeah, we swap identities from time to time. I am the pretty sexy one.   

       he is the fat, smelly one with the rather small d...

po, Jun 18 2004
  

       BTW: I'm assuming you're just playing with [UB], but sarcasm doesn't come across very well on the HB.

Worldgineer, Jun 18 2004
  

       Oh, calm down! The sky isn't falling.

UnaBubba, Jun 18 2004
  

       <chicken licken>Help! The Sky is Falling. </chicken licken>

gnomethang, Jun 18 2004
  

       Little?

bristolz, Jun 19 2004
  

       Not in Kentucky?

UnaBubba, Jun 19 2004
  

       //[thumb] hope you haven't been waiting long for an idea of mine to use that anagram?? - Lacus Trasumenus//   

       About 30 seconds

thumbwax, Jun 19 2004
  

       // I'm [Lacus Trasumenus] !* //   

       Bastard, using my account to post all your shit ideas...   

       ... actually maybe not *all*.
