A thought

[avevale_intelligencer]

Wherever there are two male American filkers gathered together, there will sooner or later be a performance (and I use the word advisedly) of "When I Was A Boy."

We need a British equivalent of this thing. Not about computers especially, but something we can spin out to several hours of schtick till everyone else has left the room in disgust. Any ideas, anyone?

Do we really need something like that? I mean, lots of things will make me leave a filkroom in disgust, certainly including overdone renditions of "When I Was A Boy," but why would I *want* to encourage some kind of song that would eventually make me leave a filkroom in disgust? There are enough roadkill songs / 75-verse renditions of "Bend Over Greek Sailor" / etc. out there to keep me walking out of filkrooms in disgust already! :D

I see it as intended to be sort of *affectionate* disgust.
