SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Dull Men of the World Unite -- LONDON (Reuters) - Now there's a Web site for the man who has everything except a life. Promising to free its readers from the pressures of trying to be "in and trendy," www.dullmen.com reviews dull books, tells dull jokes and lists dull events for every month of the year.  "In March, we like to watch maple trees during sugaring time.  Sap dripping just right to watch -- the right pace, the right suspense," suggests the site run by the U.S.-based National Council of Dull Men.  Laid out in shades of grey, black and white, it also offers a test with questions like "Do you like to watch airport luggage carousels?" and "Do you like English food?" to help readers find their true selves.

Hyperabid's Comments:   Mmm this one took me a while to find some inspiration.  Partly I guess because I've been busy ranting away in another thread about internet sterotyping.  Anyway here's a first crack at the subject ... I hasten to add that the stereotype in this little ditty is a man who uses the site described - not one of the general internet community...

V

Lean old geek so tall and spotty 
He wanders down to the internet café 
And as he passes each one he passes 
Says "Uggh!"

V

Conversation is not his strong point 
Doesn't drink - he'd never smoke a joint 
Those who get close discover his smell 
Can be sour

C

Oh how can he be so boring 
All in his company snoring

V

So he surfs the site for boring men 
Counting bags on the carousel with his friends 
So immersed that his life just passes him by 
Why can't I?
