Welcome back, Rick....sorry to hear about your bad crash..This one's fat and funny...five up

Excellent. 5s

Rick C - OUCH! Sorry about your PC...this one's phat & phunny...5's ~ ~ ~ You know, I keep tempting fate by not backing up all my stuff...I think reading your tale of woe may finally get me off my keister and down to one of the PC stores to pick up and External Hard Drive so I can save my stuff without going through a whole bunch of garbage...OH...I haven't been around much lately either...first time in about a week, I think...

Hee! I'm laughing at the parody, not at your misfortune...which, after much therapy, is a step in the right direction for me.

you're obviously not getting enough fat in your diet, Rick - you've just gotta train that heart of yours - 555

sorry about your misfortune....great job on this ...5s

Aww! Lost parodies and songs...I would be in a funk too. This parody is pretty fatty...er..funny. 5's

If I'm honest, Rick, the parody would've had to be nigh on perfect to live up to the killer title....not quite there, but still worthy of 5s

Mmmmmm.... deep fried Spam. Good one!

Glad you're back, sorry about your hard drive. DKTOS here again but a title I suggested on Matthias' parody that would work here as well, up for the grabs: "I filled my drive with stolen porno"

Phoenix rose up from the ashes, and so have you with this parody--if nothing else, title of the month should be awarded to it. 555

LOL... good one, Rick. I hope things go better for you in the future...

;-) 555

This parody is phat! The title alone makes it worth three 5's! Sorry to hear about your crash...but you know the old saying: You gotta get right back on that mouse!

Deliciously constructed. Very good job of rhyming parody words (fattened, pity, etc) to OS words.

You and me both, Rick - in my case, I had my three main PCs die within a week, two of which had terminal hard disk failure. But (this might be the definition of "expert"), I had a backup of all my parodies and stuff. I ended up cannibalizing one of the PCs for bits, and have now got two back online (and running much more sweetly with a newly-installed Windows)... And on the music front, I've just bought a second-hand eMagic a6.2m USB soundbox, so I should be able to get some decent recordings up soon :-D
Anyway, I wish I could remember the OS (and I knew what Crisco is.. but I can guess, I guess), but it's kind of fun, anyway.

Thank you, AFW, JAB, Paul, Arwen, Stu, Alvin, Adagio, Kristof, Rex, Red Ant, MrMac, Lucid, ChuckA, John and Philbo. Phil, Crisco is a brand of shortening used in baking. Glad you were able to salvage some of your stuff. In the past, I've been able to do that by setting up the damaged hard drive as a slave but, not this time. The read/write heads are fried. From now on, I am using a slave drive as a backup disk and, any recent changes to song recordings or parodies are saved to it, instead of the master drive where the OS resides.
