To the tune of the Mr Ed theme song...

A host is a host, from coast to coast
and everyone talks to a host that's close
unless of course, the host that's close
is busy, hung or dead.
     — WALLOPS from an unknown Undernet IRCop

I saw that on IRC one day, and thought it was pretty nifty. I didn't write it down, but somehow I can still remember it word for word. Now, I haven't hung around Undernet regularly since early 1996, which means that little verse has been bouncing around my head for seven years.

With thousands of things like that cluttering up my brain, it's no wonder I can never remember where I put my keys.
