The Anthem of the HLPBB
on: June 03, 2003, 05:52:14 am
Just recently I ahve been listening to the Anthem of the USSR quite a bit, and it has inspired me to write an anthem for HLP.
The tune is the same, and I've used the Stalinist lyrics as a base.

Here's my progress so far, it might not be historically accurate, but what the hell:

United forever in Interplay hatred,
Hard Light Productions will ever endure!
Our great Freespace forum will live through the ages,
The dream of its members, their IPs secure

Long live the HLPBB,
If only avatars were free,
Long live its members, it’s spammers and trolls
Strong in our hate of Microsoft
Long may our flag be held aloft,
Shining in JPEG for all men to see.

From guarding the Or-ff,
Where Harbison led us,
Our eyes saw the darkness of Shivans above!
And Setekh our leader, with faith in his renders,
Inspired us to build this board that we love.

and so on

Any comments?

excellent, only Shrike, the Great Father, and Leader of The Party is not mentioned anywhere.

25 years! Agents, take him away!

You have a bank account? 25 years and all the money to the Party.

Never say these things in public.

I've always thought of Shrike more as an arch-generalissimo, father-of-his-people kind of leader

I do. I like very much.

People don't have much to say about my anthem, though.
I'm a bit brought down about that, as it took me all of five minutes.:D

Excellent anthem, may we have the next verses please?

Infact, If I promise, NOT to sentence you 25 years of hard labour and being shot in the back.... twice, how long would the next verses take then?

Possibly forever, as I am out of ideas, I'm afraid. I will try to write some more, but I have an exam this afternoon, and another tomorrow morning.
