Warning! Geek Humor.
Heather Engle got this in her morning fortune, and since she's a geek she
thought I'd like it. I'm a geek, so I did like it. My Mom's a geek, so I
think she's gonna laugh out loud when she reads this one, probably because
she's been a geek long enough to have remember BEFORE the double bucky.
Double Bucky (sung to the tune of "Rubber Duckie")
Double bucky, you're the one!
You make my keyboard lots of fun.
Double bucky, an additional bit or two:
(Vo-vo-de-oo!)
Control and meta, side by side,
Augmented ASCII, nine bits wide!
Double bucky! Half a thousand glyphs, plus a few!
Oh,
I sure wish that I
Had a couple of
Bits more!
Perhaps a
Set of pedals to
Make the number of
Bits four:
Double double bucky!
Double bucky, left and right
OR'd together, outta sight!
Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of
Double bucky, I'm happy I heard of
Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of you!
