"69"
Hay Guise!!
My previous post ("Miss Steaks") was the 69th post on this blog! Just thought I'd let you guys know! Thanks!!
Ok fine, I admit. I just wanted an excuse to use the sex on the internet (no not what you're thinking) tag. If you got here by clicking on the tag, it worked! Muahaha.
But sorry I tricked you. To make up for it, here's a parody of Bryan Adams's Summer of 69, dedicated to the thousands of IT professionals who fervently wake up early in the morning and travel to far away lands (i.e. Electronics City) every day for work. Lyrics have evolved from the original post made at an "undisclosed location". Yenjoy madi!
Shuttle #69
Got up at 6 in the mornin’
Still was runnin’ out of time
Waitin’ by the ol’ bus shed
For the shuttle #69
Me and some guys carpooled
I had a ride and we tried real hard
Some quit, and others got married
I shoulda known... EC’s quite far
Oh when I look back now
The journey seemed to last forever
And since I have a choice
Yeah I’d always wanna go by
Shuttle out of fear for my life
(Chorus)
Ain’t no use in complainin’
Since you got a job to do
Spend the mornin’s inside the bus now
And then the evenin’s too!
Standing on the shuttle stop
Thought I’d have to wait forever
Oh I think you’d understand
I didn’t mind it whatsoever
‘Cos I was waitin’ with my future wife :)
(Chorus) Back in the shuttle #69...
Man at any given time
Drivers drivin’ reckless
‘Round corners they turn blind
Hosur road can’t last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Public displays of affection
Make people wonder what went wrong
Standing on the shuttle stop
You think you’d have to wait forever
But when the shuttle finally comes
You start your Hosur Road endeavor
Those are the worst times of your life
(Chorus) Back in the shuttle #69...

"Sheets"
Unless you've been living under an internet rock, you must have certainly come across on a forum or in a chat room or wherever, a nickname, the gender of which you could not determine. At some point, you might have had to refer to the person behind that nickname using a pronoun and at that point faced the all-important question -- do you use 'he' or 'she'?
Using 'it' would be downright lame. Don't tell me you were seriously considering using it. (See what I did there?) ;)
But now, do not fear, the solution is here. I propose the addition of a new pronoun to the English language. It is not even a new word; it is an existing word 'overloaded' to perform this function of a pronoun to refer to a person of unknown/indeterminable gender on the internet.
This word is a portmanteau of 3 words -- He, she, and it.
SHE + HE + IT = SHEET
Voila! There you have it. Now you no longer have to worry about determining a person's gender before referring to sheet using a pronoun!
~ Yes, I am aware that SHE+HE+IT can be combined into another word.
~~ No, I am not going to comment on whether or not it is a better term than 'sheet.' It Depends.
~~~ That word could get you kicked out from a chat room or banned from a discussion board, but 'sheet' is rated U -- suitable for all audiences!
So Nation, go out and spread this wørd!
