Keeping Up With the
Times:
Backstreet Boys to Change Name, Image
The members of
the popular band Backstreet Boys have recently realized that
they are getting older. "We
have to admit it, we are no longer boys" said band member Brian Littrell,
"How long can we go on with this charade?"
Another
band member, Nick Carter, who recently slammed rumors of marrying his
Chinese girlfriend added "She may be ten years older than me, but
that doesn't necessarily mean that I am young. On the contrary, it only
means that she is really old."
The
signs of times did not skip the rest of the band: AJ McLean, known for
his drinking habits, has recently realized that
using fake IDs to buy his drinks wasn't really necessary for the last
fifteen years. This revelation pushed him to change his dog's
name from "Jack Daniels" to "Prune Juice".
Following
suit, Howie Dorough announced that his nickname "Sweet D" will
be changed to "Sugar Daddy"; and Kevin Richardson, who was
once named People magazine's "Sexiest Pop Star" is now AARP
magazine's "Most Loyal Subscriber".
To
keep current with the latest developments, the members of the band chose
to delve into the world of computers and change the band name to "Information
Highway Nerds". With the help of their stylists, they
transformed their looks accordingly (see image below - with their
original look in the corner).
Soon
after, the band released a new version of their song Incomplete,
based on their experience with the Windows operating system. The lyrics
of the song are published here for the first time:
Alt-Ctrl-Delete
Empty spaces fill the screen with holes
Mouse traces with no place left to flow
Without the cursor I can't find my place
Where I知 clicking is anybody痴 guess
I tried to go on with nothing but the keyboard
I知 awake but my disk is half asleep
I pray for this app to be unbroken
But without it all I'm going to hit is Alt-Ctrl-Delete
Pop-ups tell me I should carry on
But I am clicking links to the unknown
Microsoft, Windows
It痴 written on your debug trace
I still wonder if I made a big mistake
I tried to go on like I never saw it
I知 awake but my chips are half asleep
I pray for this drive to be unbroken
But without it all I知 going to hit is Alt-Ctrl-Delete
I don't mean to drag my mouse, but I can't seem to make it work
I don't want to face the screen of death alone
I want to shut it down (and move on)
I tried to go on just clicking in the darkness
I知 awake but my RAM is half asleep
I pray for this code to be unbroken
But without it all I知 going to hit is Alt-Ctrl-Delete
Alt-Ctrl-Delete
