- With deepest apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan...
-
- I am the very model of a modern Rasfwrjian
- I've information Lugarder, Domani and Murandian,
- I know how long it takes to walk from Shayol Ghul to Caemlyn
- And just how black the veil is on each single black-veiled Aielman
-
- I've trolls of every shape and size and use them to fool Timmybot,
- I know my nieces and my mom and just how many sons I've got,
- I know who came from Seanchan and who's on the way to Ebou Dar,
- I know about the Oath Rod and I wrote the rulse of T'A'R
-
- I bait Novak and Oilcan and I live to see another day,
- I help the newbies, read the FAQ, [there is no cabal anyway],
- I don't know any words to fit the rhythm of this flaming line,
- But I was first to know the definition of a...nevermind
-
- Of Unosisters, fish jokes and cascades I can converse quite well.
- Is Moiraine dead? Is Verin black? I know of course, but I won't tell
- In short, I'll say before this thread can turn into a TAN,
- I am the very model of a modern Rasfwrjian!

- Gee. Here I thought .us meant "untested software".

- Ahem...

- But despite modifications,
