Great job, Guy, and I'm a big fan of the OS- I've got it on 8-track to boot. Only problem is, I wouldn't exactly call Alvin a "screwball". If anyone here knew me the way my family and real-life (as opposed to AmIRight) friends do, that term would apply to me. 5s to you.

Good write Guy, congrats on 900. :-)

Andria - Believe me when Alvin sees that line he will absolutely howl. You may not know the site history of he and I doing Psycho parody. And I meant "Screwball" in a good way. I don't know who likes the morbid stuff more, he or me. He got me hooked on "Psycho". And you actually DO have a working 8 track? I thought the only place to see one of those was in the Smithsonian. We're all "screwball's out here, you are in good company. Thanks.

A ♠ J♠ - So you figured out the "CM" - Very good - thanks.

I though this was gonna be about Configuration Management...

McK - Actually it is more about Crisis Management. So do you have some configurations that need to be managed? We have those folk in the IT service environment where I am employed. Need a ref? Thanks for cmmenting. HA - Security code for this comment is 9FM.

Guy, I have several working 8-track players, as well as over 200 tapes. One of the 8-track players is built into my console stereo (which is fully functional, btw), most of the others are in portable stereos dating from the 1970s and early 1980s, and the last one is part of my Watergate-era Marantz hi-fi system that I inherited from my grandfather. As for the tapes, they all work too. Thanks for the question.

Only 100 to go, dude, to REALLY earn your stripes. Congrats. (At my present writing rate, I'll be doing 900 from beyond the grave) 555

Trick y wordography at work here...like the old song says, "Nobody does it better"..than you, Buddy...enjoy your musing.

CM: cincos, man!

Kristof - Wow one of the greats on amiright has autographed my 900TH - thanks dude!

Funny you should say "beyond the grave" because I have just finished penning a parody on a grave subject that will post in the near future.

Farce - I muse therefore, I can. I like wordography - It was my best subject in school. I could tell you where any word was anywhere in the world.. Actually I like that word. Thanks for "chiming" in.

John - I say to you what Kristof said to me about your number of parodies. Thanks for the cincos man. Lets see, in how many languages do I know the word five?

English - Five
Italian - Cinque
Spanish - Cinco
Japanese - Goh
German - Fünf
Polish - wiek
Dutch - vijf
Korean - 다섯

I cheated on Korean - but I really knew all the rest.

900 parodies of Guy's on the wall, 900 parodies of Guy's... [Oops. "Take one down?" Never!!!] Congratulations. :D

FG - That's a catchy tune but a bit monotonous - I wouldn't wish to try to parody it in its entirety - glad you didn't find this parody monotonous. Thanks!

About Fiddlegirl's comment, and Guy's response: I might consider parodying "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall", and I may or may not mix up the lyrics to make it less monotonous. I'm liking this parody more and more as I look at it more (like I said, the OS is one of my favorites), and I would never advocate removing ANY of Guy's parodies.

love it...happy # 900...and thanks for the nod...i know i've been AWOL a lot lately...i'm very busy at work...school is almost back in and everyone wants to get their driver's license NOW

Alvin - Thanks you "screwball" - If you see this check out today's parody - there is a bonus there for ya. The parody will feed your morbid senitivities. All I want is poetic license.

proud to be a screwball...you don't have to sugercoat it with quotation marks...lol
