I'll CLI

[oneandoneis2]

Yes, I was bored

"I'll CLI"(To the tune of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive")

At first I was afraid
of the CLI.
Kept thinking I could never live
Without a GUI

But then I found that using text
Doing things won't take so long
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along!

And so it's black
With grey typeface.
I just log in and start to type
A happy look upon my face.

I would have dumped that stupid mouse,
I would have learned to use these keys,
If I had known, in half one second,
I could do what took me three!

(chorus)
Go on now, Gnome!
Walk out the door!
KDE's gone now!
I've learned the joys of 'grep' and 'more'!

You were the ones who said I needed GUIs,
To stick with a mouse,
To just want candy for the eyes!

On no, not I,
I'll CLI!
As long as I have Bash to use
I know I'll feel alive

I don't have time to waste on junk,
That treats me like a clueless punk,
I'll CLI
I'll CLI (hey hey!)

They took all the time I had
The question "Why?" I'd ask.
A multitude of sub-menus
For every simple task.

It used to take me oh-so-long
Just editing a single file.
I used to cry
But now I know how to use vi!

Check out my screen:
No graphics lard!
I'm not a chained-up little slave
To my graphics card!

And so you tell me you've upgraded
Say I need the new Qt.
But now I'm saving all my disk space
For the apps that work for me!

(chorus)

It reminds me of something a good friend sent me several years ago. Well ... actually it's nothing like it (being rather crude) but I thought it might make someone laugh. I definitely *did not* write this!! Couldn't resist posting it! Arrrrrrrghhh.

Indian curry rhapsody
Naan, just killed a man
poppadom against his head
Had lime pickle now he's dead.
Naan, dinner's just begun
But now I'm gonna crap it all away.

Naan, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
Seen nothing yet just see the loo tomorrow
Curry on, curry on
Cause nothing really Madras.

Too late, my dinner's gone
Sends shivers down my spine
Rectum aching all the time
Goodbye onion bhaji, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and use the loo.

Naan, ooh, ooh
This doopiaza is so mild
I sometimes wish we'd never come here at all.

[guitar solo]
I see a little chicken tikka on the side
Rogan Josh,Rogan Josh, pass the chutney made of mango
Vindaloo does nicely
Very very spicy Meat!
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani and a naan
(And vindaloo loo loo loo)

I've eaten balti, somebody help me
He's eaten balti, get him to the lavatory
Stand you well back
'Case the loo is quarantined...
Here it comes
There it goes
Technicolor yawn
No!
It's coming up again
(There he goes)
I chunder, it's coming back again
(There he goes)
Coming back again (up again)
Here it comes again.
(No no no no no no NO)
On my knees, I'm on my knees
On his knees, Oh, there he goes
This vindaloo
Is about to wreck my guts

Poor me.. poor me...poor meee!

[guitar solo]
So you think you can chunder and then feel alright?
So you try to eat curry and drink beer all night?
Oh maybe, But now you'll puke like a baby
Just had to come out
It just had to come right out in here.

[guitar solo]

[slow bit]
Korma, sag or bhuna
bhaji, balti or naan
Nothing makes a difference
Nothing makes a difference
To meee....
(Any way, the wind blows....shshshsh)
