Yet again sung to the tune of I will survive....

First I wanted GAD
Yes I really tried
Kept thinking I could write a post
And win without a fight
But I spent so many nights
Writing posts so long
Oh so long
I learned I had written wrong..

and so I’m back
With a new post
I just posted this new topic
All about a piece of toast,
I should have turned off my caps lock
I should have pressed another key
If I had known for just one second
Snuggly read the posts by me.

Go on now read, read posts from me
just written down now
Not just written out of greed
weren't you the one said winning wasn’t fair?
you think I’d win now,
you think that now I’d really care?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as I get joy from posts
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my games to play
I've got reviews to write today
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to blow my top
kept trying not to write
The topic saying GAD should stop
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to spam
Now I write because I can..

and you see me
somebody glad
I'm not that spamming little newbie
still in love with GAD
and so I stopped the console wars
and I stopped the posts for greed
now I'm saving all my posting
for someone who will read

Sorry, what was that?

I was busy looking at this great site, Michael Jackson lyrics digest....

"It's GAD, It's GAD, you know it"

"Mr Snuggly's not my lover
He's just a man, that gives out lots of free games"

Shall i continue...?

Great song, by the way.

And the only way to ensure you WON'T win is by bitching about it.

Hmm, I have only won GAD once by accident when I was just trying to make everyone in the WWF forum laugh. It's not something I'd go out of my way to strive for as I have a full-time job and feel GAD is aimed at the younger members of SR who can't afford to buy the latest games out of their pocket money. It was however a very nice bonus. Cheers SR!

Nice post pb, even though it does point the finger slightly ;) When I first came here, I posed a very short piece on Resident Evil, it was about 10 lines long, and I was holding out for a GAD!? Can you belive it? lol

P.S, Nice post...oops, I already said that

To be honest, I accepted I was rubbish at writing when I first joined, so if I did win GAD, it would be a handy bonus. I don't posts thinking 'Hmmm, GAD', I think 'wonder what other people think about these ideas?'

V. nice song pb!

I know what you mean pb.

Even though I've only won 2 GADs I am always telling people not to focus on the actual GAD win, just to enjoy themselves posting.
