Archinect Pie , by Vado Retro
(To be sung to the melody of Don McLean's classic tune American Pie)
Along long time ago
If I can still remember how his topics used to make smile
And I knew if I had the time, that I would respond in kind
And maybe I'd be happy...for awhile.
But October made me stressed
When I heard about that awful mess...
Bad news in my inbox
Felt a bit like small pox
I don't remember if I got riled
When I read about his exile
I guess that I still don't understand...
The day John Devlin got banned.
Did you attend that ivy school
All the kids thought you were cool
At least you look that way to me...
And do you believe in all this bull
Or are you just tryin to pull some wool
And can you tell me where I can intern for free.
Well I know that you're in love with him
Cuz I saw that blob you call a gym
You got holes in the soles of your shoes
Kid you're really payin your dues.
I was a lonely little pencil neck
Til I got hooked up with Archinect
But I really felt like a major reject
The day John Devlin got banned.
So bye bye
My Archinect Pie
Looked for John Devlin
But John Devlin was nye
And Abracadabra was drinkin warm beer from a can.
Singin “Did you hear that John Devlin got banned?
Yesterday John Devlin got banned.
Now for ten years we been out of school
And 15 since we were considered cool
But that's not how it used to be
When Rita Novel posted like a champ
In a coat she borrowed from Duchamp
In a voice as sexy as a wheelchair ramp.
And while Evil Platypus was looking around
Mystery Man slipped on out of town
The responses were never posted
All the necters were too toasted.
And while Driftwood read a book on Rem
Rationalist went for the higher hem
But nothing really went as planned
The day John Devlin got banned.
We started singin...
Bye bye
My Archinect Pie
Looked for John Devlin
But John Devlin was nye
And Abracadabra was drinkin warm beer from a can.
Singin “Did you hear that John Devlin got banned?
Yesterday John Devlin got banned.
Helter Skelter, Hell yes, I felt her
At the protest for the homeless shelter,
Right now I'm high but crashin' fast.
With talk of cheap wine and good grass
Oh it was such a blast with
Smokety McSmoke Smoke in the shadows
With a flask.
Now for some the summer was quite fun
With pictures posted by almost everyone
Some boys got quite a rush
From Strawbeary, their archinect crush.
But he's a husband and she's a wife
So, we all just better get a life
Because John Devlin's been banned.
We started singin'
Bye bye
My Archinect Pie
Looked for John Devlin
But John Devlin was nye
And Abracadabra was drinkin warm beer from a can.
Singin “Did you hear that John Devlin got banned?
Yesterday John Devlin got banned.
There we were all in one place
A generation lost in cyberspace
With no time to detail our stairs
So come on, create a topic
Or kill a thread. Disagree with all I've said
Frankly, no one really cares.
And as Norm read Nicomacheans views
His face started to turn a lovely shade of blue
No opinions from the right
Are welcomed at this site.
And as the number of his posts began to rise
Pixelwhore just rubbed his eyes
Heterarchy left off where he began
The day John Devlin got banned.
We started singin...
Bye bye
My Archinect Pie
Looked for John Devlin
But John Devlin was nye
And Abracadabra was drinkin warm beer from a can.
Singin “Did you hear that John Devlin got banned?
Yesterday John Devlin got banned.
I met Liberty Bell and she sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
She just smiled and said “Go away”
So I went online to that sacred site
Where I'd seen John Devlin just last night.
But the site said JD cannot play
And the three girls that could make me stay
Oana, Stephanie and WonderK
Well they're just humoring me anyway.
The Day John Devlin got banned.
So bye bye
My Archinect Pie
Looked for John Devlin
But John Devlin was nye
And Abracadabra was drinkin warm beer from a can.
Singin “Did you hear that John Devlin got banned?
Yesterday John Devlin got banned.
Best of 2005 , by Abracadabra
Best terminology I learned from my friends at aamco transmissions across the parking lot;
CB's = come backs (repair job returned by a dissatisfied customers)
YOYO's = yoyo (a customer who brings the repair job back every other day for something or another)
both no good for the mechanics.
Worst built auto transmissions according to pepe, david, shorty, raffi and kamal at aamco, unanimously;
Ford (watchit)
Best would be a puzzle thread in Archinect discussions section and get around 9-10 responses and die away within half a day.
What's this to YOU? (name of the thread)
The opening post;
This is the google view of Truth and Consequences, NM,
I see a teapot innit. What do you see?
And while at it, can you see something in Intercourse, PA?
terrapuzzle
*choose satellite option and zoom in, on the subject matter.
The best would and can be Guggenheim museum after FLW's.
link
Best 'Wow, bingo', for would be modern furniture designers, heavy metallers and plasticians;
link
My best and most traveled interstate highway, the first 15-20 miles of it eastward. It is called 'the christopher columbus transcontinental highway' here, but they call it 'sonny bono memorial freeway' around palm springs, and 'papago' (as in go papa go), around phoenix.
link
Best or worst architectural dilemmas by an otherwise hardworking talent, I've seen the pictures of.
(this category would include some detail photos of eric moss' culver city 'city' project but they were removed from the internet, thus no pics of doublehung windowed skull and leaning, '/', columns)
my best chance for getting sued by OSHA's 'the whistleblower program'
link
for unfair treatment of otherwise innocent people through some badass literature. My defense strategy as drawn by jay (my lawyer), is going to be around 'I am not guilty' plea.
link
one of the best places to visit on this world;
best opportunity to show some humanity, missed by an accidental governor to secure some political gain in his circles.
link
link
And yes, some best inventions/products;
link
link
Best of 2005 search in internet. warning; about 1,520,000,000 pages for best of 2005
link
Oh yea. 3 photos. 2 jesus decorations and a 'what the fuck is this'. first by a known architect, second by a civilian and a third from the yours truly and tina (we are a little concerned about fire hazards and don't try hard enough)

dear vado,
that song made me cry and realize how much i miss johnd. no queen of england can fill his shoes. because of him, 2005 will go down in history as the year of love, in archinect.
and thank you for the music...
abra
Did you guys pick the photographs and designators ("forum rat"? "Archimage"? above, or were those selected for you? Too funny.
Two of my very favorite 'necters in one page of brilliant, funny, sentimental commentary - it's like a double scoop of chocolate ice cream!! Yummmmm.
vado, i am disappointed that i did not make your Archinect Pie rendition, but the lyrics were fun anyway.
I had to download American Pie this morning so I could sing along!
(Isn't le bossman Queen of England?)
Well done, sirs!
(I love that I made it into the song...)
and afterall
you're my wonder
k
hmmm, bossman = queen of england...i'll have to think about that one
Follow the clues (profile join date).
i swear i've never seen this thread before. a first for me, who even reads members dropbox, http://www.archinect.com/news/dropbox.php,
to find decent material for my archimage..
i still would like to think john devlin is Q of E.
...funny, because we know you would immediately be made King abracadabra if you asked!
Holy sh!t. John Devlin got banned!?!
i'm in! i'm in! i'm in the lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Not me :(...
I guess 2005 wasn't my best year anyway. Wait and you'll see...
le bossman is a queen alright...but it's got nothing to do with england
Well, I thought abra was crushmaster, too, so I've been wrong before!
(but I still think bossman=her majesty)
