If you haven’t heard this song, you should listen to it.  It is hilarious and code monkeys can definitely relate to this song (I know I can).  I just wanted to share.  Anyway, here are the lyrics and here is the link to the mp3, if you would like to hear Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton.  Warning: there is a bad word in the first verse, so you may want to make sure there are no little kids around, especially if they pick up things easily or if you are sensitive to language just read the lyrics (I happen to really hate this word).  Consider yourself warned.

Code Monkey get up, get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
Boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very diligent
But his output stink
His Code not functional or elegant
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think,
Maybe manager wanna write
[*******] log-in page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like yooooouuuuu

Code Monkey hang around at front desk
Tell you sweater look nice
Code Monkey offer buy you soda
Bring you cup, bring you ice
You say no thank-you for the soda ’cause
Soda make you fat
Anyway, you busy with the telephone
No time for chat
Code Monkey have long walk back to
cubicle
He sit down, pretend to work
Code Monkey not thinking so straight,
Code Monkey not feeling so great.

Code Monkey like Fritos,
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you, a lot

Code Monkey have every reason
To get out this place
Code Monkey just keep on working
See your soft pretty face
Much rather wake up, eat a coffee cake
Take bath, take nap
This job fulfilling and creative way
Such a load of crap
Code Monkey say someday he have
everything
Even pretty girl, like you
Code Monkey just waiting, for now
Code Monkey say someday, somehow

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like yoooooooouuuuuuuu

This song is awesome!

This evening, around 6 PM, MikeT and I walked into the game room to find that Underwater Lego Dude had fallen to his death.  He and his underwater snatcher tool were in pieces, scattered on the carpet.  It is possible to clone him, and hopefully we will be able to do so soon.  Rest in peace Underwater Lego Dude.  You will be missed sitting on the bookshelf being attacked by the crazy Lego alien robot.  His closest friends were the Lego Race Car and Camshaft (my transformer).  At this time we have no suspects; however the crazy Lego alien robot and the vicious Lego dinosaur have become persons of interest.
