Christmas Lain Poem

(i had the pleasure of writing this with someone in the IRC at 4:30 AM last night). I hope you don't mind, I did a final edit of it to get the cadence right. All the lain's are asleep? Dave dawns his green suit Dave sneaks down to lain town And starts taking their loot! Dave takes it all, he takes their bits and their bytes, their /cyb/ chiba nights. He takes the lain ham, and the lain tea, even he takes Lain's precious Navi! HA HA HA Dave laughed. I'd like to see those lains try now, to pretend all is fine! With no presents this day or time! There will be no Lainsmas this year! No mumbling nor murmuring, no IRC nor XMPP. The Lains will all be too sad, too sad for their fads No games and no LISP. Their servers they'll miss! For I have stolen lainsmass, and all lainsmas cheer. They'll having nothing I say! Not 'till next year! We woke up the next morning to view all our stock! Though nothing was there, imagine our shock! Who would do such a thing? Take joy from the hackers? Lainsmas is ruined! It's worse than the fed's trackers! I've done it! Dave cries. There's not a packet in sight! Not a beep or a boop! Oh, imagine their plight! The wired's so quite, without those terminal bells. Or that pesky lainfeast, where N33R's fish always smells. What's that? Dave laughs. What could be that sound? It's the spilling of soykaf? Everywhere that starts with a # (pound) Could it be? That still they are posting? But I've DOS'd every server? They have nothing for hosting! Dave peered through the channels, and saw activity! Lain's were posting, but without any hierarchy! "But how?" he cried, for their CPUs were too small.. Unless they went and... decentralized the protocol!? Oh that's so clever! A good whitepaper for I triple E. But I somehow feel bothered, they did it without me :c Dave felt a sadness at missing such development, And suddenly he regretted, trying to ruin their advent. "We'll alright" he said quietly and rode into town Adding servers to the cluster, passing packets all around! A merry Lainsmas was had, and I hear they say: Dave's hard-drive grew nLog(n) sizes that day! hope you enjoyed

>>39253 I enjoyed that. Thanks, Dave.

that's a cool poem, thanks for sharing

Gave me a hearty laugh. Thx lainon. You did fantastic :)

>>39254 >>39255 >>39256 I'm glad you guys liked it :) Maybe other people try their hand at something like it, since i've already used up a thread. If people post a bunch of poems like that i could try and format them into a lainsmas book.

I want to open a sleepy neo- noire techno nightclub / strip club called Lain's Night and we will recite your poem every lainmas with one of the cybergoth strippers roleplaying as Dave stealing all the loot before handing out freebies to patrons at the end (yes that kind)

>>39258 thanks Lain, that means a lot <3

This is remarkably great, lainon. Merry Christmas.
