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.

Willie-O's Comments: You asked for it Aine. I have finally entered a Song Challenge. I plead excessive inhalation of sap fumes, among other substances.

If you're looking for dullsville baby
You've come to the right place
If you're looking for dullsville baby
You're in the right place
Cause if you had anything better to do
You wouldn't be doing what all of us do
You wouldn't be hitting "refresh" and
watching this space!

You could be washing the dishes baby
You could be vacuuming the cat.
You could be taking out compost baby
Or something disgusting like that.
Instead you're checking your e-mail again
Hoping for something from your best friend
But you get forwards from folks you don't know
On subjects that mean squat.

Bridge (You read them twice)
(You archive them nice)
(In case you want to read them again)
(When you've forgotten why you didn't care the first time)

I oughtta be folding laundry now
I think the water here is hard
I oughtta be folding laundry now
And sorting out old clothes to discard
Instead I'm meandering through Mudcat again
Lookin for something clever someone else said

(I didn't get it)

Cause this is Dullsville...
Where you ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
No this is Dullsville,
No sandwiches, no picnic, no oars in the water
Yeah this is Dullsville
The last line don't even rhyme.
(train wreck ending)
