Crucifixion Is A Horrible Death



It Doesn't Get Any Better with a Friend
Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And... 
the music fades into the song 

...always look on the bright side of life!
whistle 

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing, 

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life... 

whistle
Come on! 

others start to join in
Always look on the bright side of life...
whistle 

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow! 

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of sh*t,
When you look at it. 

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you! 

And always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Always look on the bright side of life

A Parody by MaJoC

Always Look on the Bright Side of DrOsS
[ There I was, waiting on DrOsS's same-day service and feeling all hung 
up to dry, when the following thoughts stole into my head: ] 

Cheer up, MaJoC; you know what they say ... 

MeSsy-DrOsS is bad 
It can really make you mad 
        The Pentium can make you swear and curse 
When you chew on Intel's gristle 
Don't grumble, make it whistle 
        And end up getting back at them in verse 
                                        And ... 
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS        [ whistle ] 
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS        [ whistle ] 

They'll tell you that it's quick 
With sixty-four-bit tricks 
        But back in Real Mode it's an oh-eight-eight 
Whose single-tasking trance 
Will give you every chance 
        To send out for a pizza while you wait 
                                        So ... 
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS        [ whistle ] 
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS        [ whistle ] 

Its floating point is shit 
When you find that it 
        Thinks zero equals two-five-five; it's true 
That Intel say they'll swap 
Each crucial megaflop 
        But strangely that'll not apply to you 
                                        So ... 
Always look on the bright side of bugs        [ whistle ] 
As your spreadsheet pegs you up by the lugs [ whistle ] 

        Come on, MaJoC, cheer up ... 
        Worse things happen in C, y'know ... 
        I mean, what have you got to lose? 
        You hack up code from nothing, 
        the end result is nothing; 
        what have you lost? --- nothing! 

[ Fortunately, at this point, I got my prompt back. ]
