News Staff Oath of Office
by MadelineB
2012 July 7

I do somewhat solemnly swear:

I will Digg for the Topix,
  Sometimes in a Huff;
If its news I have ->-bleeped-<---
  There's never enough!
Though my eyes Google over,
  I'll look until - Bing -
Every source that's Del.icio.us,
  it's praises I'll sing!
I will harvest new memes
  From the Near East and Fark;
in all Times zones I'll wander
  from LA to New York.
Out of Washington I will Post,
  To the Edge and beyond;
with a Blade in my hand,
  or an editor's wand.
Never a Yahoo;
  but a mature Advocate;
respecting copyright
  and not giving Sue fits.
Condensing press releases
  of organizations,
from Canada, Australia, and the whole world's nations.
I will slog through the blogs
  and never will cease
to strain through the feeds
  for the treasures we seek.
Hear today, go on tomorrow,
Susan's Place interests
  always to pique.

-----------------
I will keep my commentary
  to a small bit at the end,
and try to be helpful
  to every friend.
-Madeline B

You'll have to ask Z about the staff bicycle.

Welcome and Congrats Madeline.

Devlyn Marie likes her coffee with several laxatives in it, just be sure not to tell her.

I have had this song stuck in my head all day, thank you very much!
QUEEN - Bicycle Race (on stage full version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guv6hWaIQaE#)

(I didn't embed the original video because it is a little bit NSFW, but that is in my head too :))

BTW, the staff bicycle is clothing optional, right? I haven't a thing to wear!
