Musical/Comedy Tributes To Meta

Yeah, Meta rocked and kicked ass but it pushed the boundaries too far and it started being DU's black hole.

After the eulogies comes the wake.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with...

Speaking as a mostly-lurker of some history, I will really, really, really miss it.

I was up in the morning with the tv blarin'
Brush my teeth sittin' watchin' the news
All the beaches were closed the ocean was a red sea
But there was no one there to part in two
There was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage
Staten island disappeared at noon
And they say the midwest is in great distress
And nasa blew up the moon

The ozone layer has no ozone anymore
And you're gonna leave me for the guy next door
I'm sick of you
I'm sick of you

-----

Well I know one thing that really is true
This here's a zoo and the keeper ain't you
And I'm sick of it
I'm sick of you
