Ballad of Optimus Prime

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Did I?

I found a copy of the mp3, though. Much higher quality sound!

When I was little I wrote a song called 'The Ballad of Optimus Prime' to the tune of Marty Robbins' 'Big Iron on his Hip'.

Hereth end my anecdote.
