I wrote the following piece yesterday for the now seemingly ill-fated "CS Republic." Names were deliberately left out but nearly everyone here is mentioned, just the same. If it's names you want, a
partial list of members - past and present - who've affected me, is at the bottom.
CS Republic Theme Song
(To the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)
My heart has felt the terror
Of the fear of being flamed,
I have laughed myself to tears
Reading those who won't be named.
I've cursed and loved and laughed and moaned
And my hunger can't be tamed!
And CS keeps rolling on!
Glory, glory to the forrrrums!
Aren't you glad they're not a quorum!
Don't you know I'm an addict for 'em!
CS keeps rolling on.
We've been here for forever
Or we've only just now joined.
Everybody knows us by
The sign on names we've coined.
We're funny and we're serious
And our faith can't be purloined.
CS keeps rolling on!
<Chorus>
CS keeps rolling on!
There are those who are our fav'rites
And those we can't abide,
There are those who start a thousand threads
And those who lurk and hide.
And looks don't really matter -
It's who you are inside
That keeps CS rolling on...
<Chorus>
There are those who met their soulmates here
And those who never will.
There are those who've given up the search
And those that're looking still
There's those who flirt and those who don't
And those who lack the skill.
But CS keeps rolling on!
<Chorus>
There's thinkers and there's jokers
And those we can't define.
There's stinkers and there's croakers
And those who come to whine.
But everybody's human
If you read between the lines...
And that keeps us loggin on!
<Chorus>
So come on all ye faithful
And ye who have no God
We'll laugh and cry and argue
As thru' this life we plod
And if politics don't kill the thread,
We'll leave it to the mods!
As CS keeps rolling on...
Final chorus:
He's a lib'ral - She's conservvv-ative
It don't matter where at all we live.
Sometimes our opinions are all we've got to give.
And that keeps us posting on...
