Still, the thirty-plus parodies must go on. I removed them from the site completely for a while, but the hits just keep on coming. They are back.

I haven't done a new parody in a heck of a long while. Carpal tunnel and tendonitis had taken their toll. It became hard to play the guitar, plus I was traveling most of the time. Such is the price of success in Real Life. Check out some of the parodies at left. Most are about Usenet, so if you have never been a denizen, and you don't know a zbeba from a hole in the ground, most of them will not be all that meaningful.

The C. H. C. parodies were a heck of a lot of work, but I got a heck of a lot of enjoyment out of them.  The website still gets hits, so I will try to keep them up here on the site.  Oh, for copyright information, see the Fair Use discussion on our Copyright page.

These parodies generally describe some facet of life on Usenet in the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.* hierarchy.

There is one big exception.  American Sky is a rewrite of American Pie by Don McLean, and it is intended as a tribute to the events that changed all our lives on September 11, 2001.

Bye, Bye Lars and Napster & Gnutella poke fun at the lawsuit by Lars Ulrich of Metallica against Napster.

Usenet attracts people with interesting personalities.  Killfile is a parody about trolls.  It and Lola are among the most popular parodies here. The Longer parody is about someone who just could never concede an argument, even long after she had lost it.

Aiming is about misplaced binaries.  The Kodachrome parody pokes fun at the (now defunct) @Home network and the way cable modems changed Usenet forever.
