NetHack Celebrates by Parodying Pepper

NetHack, which is some kind of open source something or other that has to do with dungeons and dragons, turned 20 and someone named Rob Balder wrote a song to celebrate it to the tune of Pepper.

It's kind of karaoke-like. Here are the lyrics:

Bertha swung Mjollnir like a Valkyrie in the rain
Then she lost her mind in Sokoban; a flayer ate her brain.
They were all in love with dyin', usin' every keyboard function,
As they tried to find the Amulet, somewhere in the dungeon.

I don't mind the text sometimes, the images it shows.
Running from the Ds and Ls, and killing all the Os.
Faded prints and subtle hints and fortune cookie lies.
You never ID all your stuff, until your @ sign dies.

Some will die in hot pursuit, fleeing from a shop,
Some will eat a rubber hose, wielded by a Kop.
Some will stand there paralyzed,
Some will go down punchin'
As they try to find the Amulet, somewhere in the dungeon.

I don't mind the text sometimes, the images it shows.
Running from the Ds and Ls, and killing all the Os.
Faded prints and subtle hints and fortune cookie lies.
You never ID all your stuff, until your @ sign dies.

Arthur tamed a jabberwock but died when it went feral.
Zack wielded a cockatrice, he fell down in a stairwell.
Theseus was butchered when he misspelled 'Elbereth,'
Carmen ate Medusa, yet another stupid death.
Chauncey fought the Oracle, he knew that it was chancey,
Cause you ASCII stupid question and you'll get a stupid ANSI.
They were all in love with dyin', they were perilously plungin'
As they tried to find the Amulet, somewhere in the dungeon.

I don't mind the text sometimes, the images it shows.
Running from the Ds and Ls, and killing all the Os.
Faded prints and subtle hints and fortune cookie lies.
You never ID all your stuff, until your @ sign dies

Here is a video of the Happy Tree Friends version of Pepper

Garry Shandling

I purchased the Garry Shandling show DVD set hoping that the segment with the Butthole Surfers would be included, but alas, it wasn't. Here is a clip from their show.




And, here is Gibby singing Revolution Part II with the School of Rock kids. This is the song that chants Garry Shandling's name in a mantra like way. This is a pretty tame version of the song.

Confetti

This photo of Gibby spraying confetti on a heckler has been making its way around Twitter, thanks to Eugene Mirman.

Driven by Boredom wrote a brief synopsis of this show, with the additional information that the word "negro leg" was bandied about, along with a very insightful review of the night, along with a comment from the brave woman herself here.
