Someday I'll get it, the high-speed connection

On dial-up now. Whee, happy, joy and stuff. Much fun to be had by all. Testing for trip, y'see. Going to Iowa tomorrow morning, starting. Whee-ness.

The lovers, the dreamers, and meeeeeee....

i'm a sucka for the muppets

I filked it.

Why are there so many noises my modem makes
when I am going on line
The net is intriguing, but always eludes me,
I always get bumped offline
I have been told but refuse to believe it
That dial-up’s the best thing for me
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection,
the laptop, the modem, and me.

Who said that 56k was the absolute limit
For transmission across a phone line
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And some think this may be fine
What’s so beguiling that keeps us redialing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection
The laptop, the modem, and me.
All of us dialing at once
The collision is going to be tragic…

When it is late at night, and you’re downloading
Have you been kicked offline
By some bloody idiot who’s got the wrong number?
The rage is so hard to confine
I’ve been there too many times to ignore it
And someday then I’ll fin’lly see
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection
The laptop, the modem, and me.

Please a T-3 line for me, oh…
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

I just sang that whole thing to karmaryllis using my best faux-Kermit-the-forg voice.

We are now both dead... we just don't know it yet....

Hehe.

It must be something in the song that forces me to sing it each time I open it... I wrote it last summer upon getting DSL, or just before getting DSL, I'm not quite sure...

and you get to sing it without a hand up your ass

[azurelunatic]

hehe.

I'm not sure a hand would *fit* up my ass.
