Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

Due to the current change in WP staff I thought it might be fun to replay an oldie of mine. It somehow seems fitting now

Everybody Sing Along

KAREN GOT DELETED BY A VIRUS

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and Ray begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered through the screen into the glow.

When he found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had edit written on her forehead,
and incriminating delete marks on her back.

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

Now we're all so proud of Raymond,
He's been taking this so well.
Seen him in there watching football,
drinking beer and
playing cards with Andrew.

It's not Christmas without Karen,
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her email,
or send them back?
Send them back!!

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

Now the money is on the table
and the loose change in a tin
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on Karen’s wig.


I've warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a guy whose name is Ray
and plays with his other selves.

Very fitting for today's developments. Thanks for posting that again. That is one of my favorites!

Now that Karen is no longer at PopLand, does that mean there will be no more 'dynamic' posts?? 

Any guesses on what (if any) new big, overused, incorrectly used word will be used by Andrew?

[chiquita]

I am so sorry that any support that I can give can't possibly compete with any of the negative forces working against this site. I will never give up though, and will always support Wagglepop to the best of my abilities, and I will always remember you, Karen, and all of the time and caring that you gave us here.

Anybody wanna guess who she is ummm referring to?

Just to clarify this for everyone. 


Here is what I have to say to his boinktardness Ray 


Pull the plug, Pull the plug, Pull the plug, Pull the plug, Pull the plug...

I hafta agree - for the sake of humanity - just get it done and over with! One quick easy pull instead of dragging it out and making the sellers suffer more! Get it over with so they can finally move on and get their businesses going!

No one on the outside destroyed WP.  It was entirely an inside (VERY inside) job.

Hi Everyone,

I've been out of the country for a week with my Swedish relatives and my, oh my, what has come down in Poopland since my absence! This time none of the cultist long-haulers can blame the recent crack (or major chasm rivaling the depth of the Mid-Atlantic ridge) in the ass of Poopland on me exerting my imperial power as high trollstess, supreme naysayer and CEO of paid eBay informants.

I am not known for mincing words so let me take this opportunity to say here and now that Karen's "dynamic" departure has, in my mind, sounded the second death nell for WP -- the first being the loss of about 80% of its membership. Since I was unable to find any "farewell" post from her, I can only assume one of two things: (1) She prepared a post, which was censored by her replacement for its "negative" content, or (2) she preferred to disappear back into the woodwork and look back upon her WP tenure as an hallucination, as many of us have done. The third and final nell will come when his Royal Boinktardness himself decides he's had enough of cleaning hamster cages and pulls the plug. I'm taking bets on whether he'll even have the courage to give his cult following a farewelll announcement, or just simply open the flood gates to his Koolaid reservoir and drown in his own twisted view of e-commerce nirvana.

How any Pooper with even a hair's width thread attachment to reality can still keep the faith is totally beyond my comprehension. But check this out

I believe WP is a worry for E and they will use anybody or anything to destroy this dream.

Yep, I'm sure Meg and Bill are literally quaking in their diamond-studded Gucci boots over a pathetic auction site that gets less traffic than most garbage collection sites, has a liar and a cheat for an owner, where most of the members have abandoned ship and where even the crew are launching the lifeboats. Good grief, Poopers, wake up and smell the wombat poo poo!
