Humor in a Fido Vein

The Meaning of FidoNet
The Miracle of Hatching: Seenbys: The Z1EC

I cannot take credit for the following jewel. Credit belongs to Carl Austin Bennett. I think he did a fantastic job applying this to Seenby-gate.

What do you need to know to understand this scene? The idea comes from Monty Python's movie:

The Meaning of Life - The Miracle of Birth: Part 2: The Third World. If you have not seen the movie then rent it! From what I understand this scene cost more to produce than the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

And now, The Miracle of Hatching: Seenbys: The Z1EC

The latest dance tune... foxtrot, evidently:

There are Geeks in the world,
There are Eggheads,
There are Crackers and Warezd00dz and then,
There are those that follow Microsoft,
But I've never been one of them...

I'm a Zone Echo Co-ordinator,
And stuff SEEN-BY's whenever I'm bored,
And the one thing they say about Krackheads,
Is they'll take you as soon as you're warm...

You don't have to be a six-footer,
You don't have to have any cache,
You don't have to have any credibility -
You're a ZEC the moment you hatch...

Because...

Every SEEN-BY's sacred,
Every SEEN-BY's great,
If a SEEN-BY's wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

Children:
Every SEEN-BY's sacred,
Every SEEN-BY's great,
If a SEEN-BY's wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

Child: [solo]
Let the heathen spill theirs,
Among the backbone dust,
Jan shall make them pay for
Each node that won't be stuffed.

Children:
Every SEEN-BY's wanted,
Every SEEN-BY's good,
Every SEEN-BY's needed,
In your neighbourhood.

Mum: [solo]
Hackers, Telnet Morons,
Save theirs just anywhere,
But Jan loves those who stuff their
SEEN-BY's with more care.

Men neighbours: [peering out of toilets]
Every SEEN-BY's sacred,
Every SEEN-BY's great,

Women neighbours: [on wall]
If a SEEN-BY's wasted,

Children:
Jan get quite irate.

Priest: [in church]
Every SEEN-BY's sacred,

Bride and Groom:
Every SEEN-BY's good.

Nannies:
Every SEEN-BY's needed.

Cardinals: [in prams]
In your neighbourhood!

Children:
Every SEEN-BY's useful,

Every SEEN-BY's fine,

Funeral Cortege:
Jan needs everybody's,

First Mourner:
Mine!

Lady Mourner:
And mine!

Corpse:
And mine!

Nun: [solo]
Though the backbones spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain,

Various artifacts in a Regional *Cass-whole's Souvenir Shop:
Jan shall strike them down for
Each SEEN-BY spilt in vain.

Everybody:
Every SEEN-BY's sacred,
Every SEEN-BY's good,
Every SEEN-BY's needed,
In your neighbourhood.

Even more than everybody, including two fire-eaters, a juggler, a clown at a piano and a stilt-walker riding a bicycle:
Every SEEN-BY's sacred,
Every SEEN-BY's great,
If a SEEN-BY's wasted,
Jan gets quite irate.

[Everybody cheers (including the fire-eaters, the juggler, the clown at the piano and the stilt-walker riding the bicycle). Fireworks go off, a Chinese dragon is brought on and flags of all nations are unfurled overhead.]
