I have way too much "work time" (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
(http://www.wpierce.com/wlp/FS2/flak.jpg)
Originally and unfortunately invented by MadBomber:
When the Shivans come to attack
You should not stop to get a snack
So instead of computer hacks
Just use the weapon we call FLAK
FLAKITY FLAK! (then they wont come back)
The Shivans are coming for you
So what are we going to do
A gunner by the name of Jack
Decided to use lots of FLAK
FLAKITY FLAK! (so they wont come back)
And then a wing of Nephilim
They shot some Trebuchets at him
But he just went and shot them back
What'd he use? You guessed it -- FLAK!
FLAKITY FLAK! (they wont be back)
NTF fighters on the way
Deal with it almost every day
And now their debris is all black
Cause they ingested too much FLAK
FLAKITY FLAK! (they won't be back)
We know Vasudans wuv them fish
And for them I have just one wish
I wish they'd give their fishes back
And trade it for a lot of FLAK
FLAKITY FLAK (no tradebacks)
Just remember to take your meds
So Vasudans don't get your headz
So remember to watch your back,
And make sure you always use FLAK
FLAKITY FLAK! (I guess I'll hack)

Frankly, I prefer the classics:
A long, long time ago, I can still remember
how dead Vasudans used to make me smile
and I knew if I had my chance
that I could push the damn Zods back
and maybe we would win the war after all
but January made me shiver
with every briefing they'd deliver
bad news from the front lines,
I couldn't believe my own eyes
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about the loss of lives
but something touched me deep inside,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
So...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Apollo to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
You know they wrote a book of blood
So you better pray to your god above,
cause they're coming to destroy your home
and do you believe we stole the code
to make shields of our very own
and can you teach me how to track them through the nodes?
Well we knew they were going to Vasuda
cuz you scanned them and made off gouda
We all knocked off the Eva
Cause she was a danger
And the Lucifer attacked with luck
destroying the Galatea like it a toy truck
and we all knew we were out of luck,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
I started singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Medusa to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
Now for 32 years we've been on our own
A generation without a home
but that's not how it used to be,
when some Vasudans landed on Altair
they found a buried Ancient lair
and found the secrets to win with flair
oh and as the Lucifer looked down,
we ran off with the secret of it's crown
the tech room was a buzz
As the Bastion was ordered to the cause
and while the Shivans headed for our home
we attacked while in the node
and destroyed it and our way home
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
We were singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Hercules to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
Helter Skelter the NTF swelters
Bosch flew out of his asteroid shelter,
activating the Knossos real fast,
and the Shivans came out with a blast
and we got lost in the nebula gas
with the Colossus on the sidelines in a cast,
now the Sathantas was big and mean
so we worked together as a team
and the two great ships danced
and the Colossus won by chance
oh but the Shivans had just taken the field
but the GTVA refused to yield
then Bosch's plan was revealed,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
We started singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Persus to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
Oh and there we were all in one place,
a generation lost in space
with but one chance to start again,
but the Shivans just poured through the node
And we went into retreat mode
because 80 juggernauts aren't our friends
oh and as we watched them take the stage,
our hands were clinched in fists of rage,
we could only close the nodes, to keep them from our homes
and as the Colossus went up in a ball of light
the Sathantas' blew up Capella alright
I thought I saw Bosch laugh with delight,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
He was singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Erinyes to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
I met an officer who sang the blues
and I asked her for some happy news
but she just smiled and turned away,
I went to the Command for more
for that's where I had heard all the news before
and the man there said Capella had been blown away
and among the stars the Shivans screamed,
the Vasudans cried, and the Terrans dreamed
but not a word was spoken,
the jump nodes all were broken
and of the three ships that I think are keen,
the Galatea, Bastion, and Aquitiane
All but one was blown to smithereens
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
and they were singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Ares to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."
They were singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my fighter to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die."

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.
-
I love that. Brings a tear to my eye. *sniff*
-
Hmmm... I thought about doing that one, but too manyy different visuals to put in a render. Hmmm....
-
Suddenly, verybody is becoming poetic or something.

Anyway... how are the flak explosions? I generated them with a special function, and I need to know if it's worth the half-hour rendering wait or I should just use a faster generator.
-
just use the ones from the sparky.vp
-
Certainly not worth such a long render... I thought that was just an MS-Paint effect. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Here's a new idea.
Be flakked or be square!"
Sorry. I know it is a little lame but work does that to people I guess. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Is that to the tune of "Be quick or be dead"?
-
Nope. Normally, people would say "Be there or be square."
So, I came up with one.
Be flakked or be square."

I'm fighting
I'm feeling mad
I got shivans
In my sights
I'm pissed off
But not for long
The future is coming on
Alright, that was horrible...

Nope, it's to the tune of "Yakity Yak (don't talk back)" (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I know, i was bored out of my mind...

Like I said, that was horrible.
I was also under the influence of certain illicit substances at the time too (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Soon as I find the lyrics to Gumbo by Phish I'm gonna re-write them (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
"Got no time to stash the gumbo, or rattle around in a cage"
