… When you cancel your Internet service to stop but find yourself going to the Internet cafe “just to check email” and you end up posting for hours on end. 
Apologies to the Eagles
This was a dark desert island… my excitement had died
Though my partner wanted me to stay, I was ready to fly
In my search for assistance, I found a promising ‘site’
Another of those phpBB’s
Why don’t I give it a try?
So many moderators!
I asked, “what is this shit?”
But I was thinking to myself,
“This could be Heaven or this could be Tealit”
Here they answer my questions and keep posting away
100,000 up’n down the screen,
I looked and read them say…
Welcome to our website: For-rum-mosa
Such a lovely place
Easy interface
Topics galore at the website: For-rum-mosa
Any time of year, you can find it here
My mind is Guanxi-twisted, my visits never end
I know a lot of pretty avatars… that I call friends
Now I lurk in the daytime, sweet summer sweat
Some posts I remember, some posts I forget
So I emailed the Maoman,
‘Please allow me to whine’
He wrote, ‘We have been a community here since nineteen ninety-nine’
And still those posters are posting from far away,
Now I’m up in the middle of the night
Just to read them say…
Welcome to our website For-rum-mosa
It’s a quiet place
Snazzy interface
We’re livin’ it up at the website called Forumosa
What a nice surprise… now I’m localized!
Decisions are not secret -
I think that’s really nice!
In Taiwan we’re just living here… of our own device.
Inside the Star Chamber,
They gather for the ban
Debating from varied points of view,
Should we keep or kill the man?
One more thing I remember:
Forumosa’s Happy Hour
You have to guess the day of the week
and where it’ll be in town
“Relax,” says the Sandman,
“You are programmed to receive…
You can logout any time you like,
but you will never leave!”
Hey Ed, that’s good!
But now I’ve got the tune stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.
Maybe we can sing it together at happy hour? :s

BWAH! That is all 
That’s great…well done…
Didn’t Bu Lai do something similar awhile ago? To the same song too. Did you know that Ed? Weird science man.
How’d I get in that song?
Thanks for the heads up, Stewart. I missed that one: [forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopic.ph … 523#108523](Songs that remind you of everyday life in Taiwan
Bassman, you can change it to Sandman or Maoman. I originally tried to fit in BigFluffyMatthew, but no dice
