PachiTalk Pie
Dear Friends,
I wrote most of this the last couple of days before I found out PT was coming back. I decided to finish it up and post it. I think it's a little more enjoyable now since we know we have a happy ending.
But that's another song altogether.
My apologies to Mr. MacLean.
PachiTalk Pie
<O></O
It’s not so long ago, I can still remember
How PachiTalk always made me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those steel balls dance
And maybe, I’d be happy for a while.
But January made me shiver
When the email was delivered
Bad news in my Inbox
PachiTalk was on the rocks.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about the Pachi-cide
But something touched me deep inside
The day that PachiTalk died.
<O
So bye bye to the PachiTalk guy
It was a good run, it was good fun
But it’s time to say bye
We bid farewell with a tear in our eye
But they can never let this place die
They will never let this place die.
<O
Did you write the latest thread
And do you have Pachis in your head
If the addiction tells you so.
Now do you believe in rock ‘n roll
Can Pachis save your gaming soul
And can you teach me
How to install volume control?
<O
Well I know that you’re in love with them
Cause I saw you post your latest gem
With pics of your machine
And now I’m turning green.
So now I’m bidding with my ebay bucks
On a local pickup with my pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day that PachiTalk died.
<O
I started singin’
Bye bye to the PachiTalk guy
It was a good run, it was good fun
But it’s time to say bye
We bid farewell with a tear in our eye
But they can never let this place die
They will never let this place die.
<O
Now for three years we’ve been on our own
And look at how this place has grown
But that’s not how it used to be
They used to have to pay their bucks
Just to have a couple yuks
But now it be free for you and me.
<O
Oh, while the old way was looking down
A new place crushed his phony crown
The courtroom was adjourned
And freedom was returned
While laughter rang all through the site
The Revolution talked all night
And they knew things would be alright
Until our PachiTalk died.
<O
We were singin’
Bye bye to the PachiTalk guy
It was a good run, it was good fun
But it’s time to say bye
We bid farewell with a tear in our eye
But they can never let this place die
They will never let this place die.
<O
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just :groaned: and turned away
I went down to the Research door
Where I’d found some info days before
But the man there said no longer could I play.
In the shoutbox the people screamed
Old friends cried and the poets dreamed
Many words were spoken
Our PachiTalk was broken
And the people I admire most
The admin, mods, but not the ghost
They thought about their final post
The day that PachiTalk died.
<O
They were singing
Bye bye to the PachiTalk guy
It was a good run, it was good fun
But it’s time to say bye
We bid farewell with a tear in our eye
But they can never let this place die
They will never let this place die...
