The crazy is taking over!

[lupo pazzesco]

I'm guessing it's twofold: Basting people with alcoholic beverages, as a purveyor of joyous booze

or

Your enjoyment in entering cooking competitions?


That's all I got.

No, wait. I also have fudge. Yummy fudge.

Excuse me, I must be going now...

[Jester]

Never tease me with fudge. Especially if it's vanilla fudge.

I don't have a problem, honest. I can control it. I can. No, really....

[BroSCFischer]

Just got Lupo's permission. Now before I post her parody, I feel it deserves a little bit of an extra introduction. You see, I was reading through her archives, when I stumbled upon the entry "It's Not Delivery... It's De-Lupo". The first time I read it, I got the "DiGiorno" reference. But the second time, I was suddenly inspired to write this parody of "De-Lovely" by Cole Porter (as well as all of the others):

The day is young, the aisles are clear
But if you want to go walkin' here
There'll be someone, They'll be Crazy, Cause it's Lupo

I understand the reason why
You're magnetic personality's an alibi
They're in Kroger's, They're in Target, Cause it's Lupo

You can tell at a glance what a bad time this is to take your chance
Please don’t weep, creep, after she makes fun of your “Miniature"

So use your wit, for heaven' sake, and when you get home, you get to bake
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, Cause it's Lupo

Time marches on, and soon it's plain
You've won our hearts cause they've lost their brains.
It's delightful, it's delicious, Cause it's Lupo.

The end seems near, but then a snark
You have a chance for a snide remark
It's delightful, it's delicious, Cause it's Lupo

Now to address some reader response:

Crossbow: It's weird that you think that, because, and feel free to tell me if this is a little crazy, but I had this idea of a road company of CS.com performing parody songs (and, no, not just mine ) ala the "Capitol Steps" only for Customer Service.

Jester: I have been considering it. However, it requires just the right mix of Song, with Persons Posting History, and insanity to make it work, and unfortunately, the ingredients just haven't been right, yet.

SC

[Jester]

It's all cool. If/when you get the right mix, fire away, dude. I honestly look forward to it.

[dalesys]

I don't get it.

You're a competitive cook.
(I added bold/italic highlighting.)

[Jester]

Dale, you are a very funny and witty person. And this was definitely not some of your best work. Come on, dude, I expect more from you.

[BroSCFischer]

It's all cool. If/when you get the right mix, fire away, dude. I honestly look forward to it.

You asked for it.

**NOTE: This has some slight swearing, well, because it's Jester.***

(Tune of "Jesus, He Knows Me")

You see the guy walk the barroom floor
He'll be there every week day
See the guy with the bottle
Pouring the rum

In the center of the crowded room
There's no question why he's smiling
You come to see paradise
He can make you numb

He'll get most anything you wanted
He'll get most anything you need
Just don't be a cheap bastard
And bring your ID

Cause Jester he cards all, and you know he's right
No one's gonna give Jester a big fine
Yes, he cards all, and you know he's right
And it's the only way that he'll serve you tonight

ENJOY!

Someone needs to start....the slow clap.

Ok, it's a little crazy, but it actually sounds like a hoot. Capital Steps, Forbidden Broadway, Customers Suck. Yeah, I think it'd work.

[Jester]

You asked for it.

Damn straight!

**NOTE: This has some slight swearing, well, because it's Jester.***

Now THAT cracked me up. Thing is...there really wasn't any swearing in it. Not complaining, just observing.

(Tune of "Jesus, He Knows Me")

Hmmm...not familiar with that song....and can't really listen to it here at the bar, with the music playing over the sound system, so gonna have to listen to it and read it when I get home. (Yep, I just got off work, and sitting--where else?--at the bar, having a beer and playing on my laptop.)

No one's gonna give Jester a big fine

I assume, by the context of the rest of the verse, you meant "fight."

That minor detail aside (sorry, can't help myself with the whole editing thing), it was damn brilliant, and captured me pretty damn well. Bravo, sir, bravo.

[Mytical]

I think the big fine alludes to the fact that if a bar sells to underage/etc (thus the need to ID) they receive big fines..and sometimes that would also apply to the bartender???

[Jester]

Definitely a possibility. Wondering if that was intentional as per the situation you cite or merely a typo. Very curious....

Nope, "fine". From what I understand, you can get fined, as well as the bar, if you sell alcohol to minors, which is why you card (ie: context of the chorus).

At least that was what I was told. Could be wrong.

SC

[Jester]

You are correct. I was mistaken. Won't be the last time, I assure you!

[BroSCFischer]

Just don't be a cheap bastard

I do believe this is commonly considered a "swear word".
