	newsartist 20:27: There once was a sailor named Smo. And how that Skipper could go! But his alarm didn't wake, So his boat it did break... Alas, 'twas the end of poor Smo.

	The Unst Rounding The rounding of Unst/Muckle Flugga Has proven to be quite a bugga To stay east or go west We couldn’t have guessed The server would need a wee slugga

	Ode to SOLAdmin (first two lines are CG) There once was a SOLer callled Mouth, Who sailed North when others sailed South, " It's the server", said he, No, that couldn't be. Admin must remove any doubt. (In memory of Dennis Ritchie. Difficult to overestimate the effect of K&R and UNIX.) --- Last Edited by scallions at 2011-10-26 21:44:38 --- Irish counties have nicknames, hence my sol name (The Frying Irishman)

	On How Silence May Be Golden Oh, I've dragged my good name through the dirt When perhaps I was overly curt As the SOL server puked It was I who rebuked I AM sorry if someone was hurt

	Ode to Servers In SOL, we don’t have a tide But the internet still gives us a ride We can ping all day long As we sail with the throng And hope the servers never get fried! SP

	A song (to the tune of "Streets of Laredo" - sing with gusto ... (or anyone else As I sailed down to the straits of Gibralter, The wind in my hair, and enjoying the day, I spied a young Soler, with tangled up halyards, a mast that was broken, sail-ing the wrong way. I thought "shall I help him", as he is in trouble, his sails were in tatters and looking like lace, I threw him a line, which he fastened securely, Now back in the race and we're after first place. "I thank ewe"
