It's a little late to get into it, but it all came from "What's the Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen In WDW?" thread I mentioned before. There was once a "Classic Thread" board with that one and my original thread riffing om the 'corn' stuff. but a server glitch wiped them out.
I did find a post of mine I wrote soon after- it's from Dec 21, 2002, and part of a longer CB cyber party. It's mt Springsteen imitation plus a song about the server issue sung to the tune of "The River".
Want to see it? Here it go. . .

How's youse all doing out there tonight? {applause}
All right. . . good youse guys are here. . {applause}
You know, back when I was kid growing up in Freehold, we didn't have much money and my dad was a good guy, but one time he made me cut my hair and I said, "Hey dad, it's my hair!!"
{{applause}}
Okay. . all right. . . anyways. . I remember this time. . this time. . I had a girl. . and I was so poor, we couldn't afford a phone, so when I wanted to talk to her, I had to talk into this little tin can with a string on it. . and I don't know. . but for some reason, she never seemed to hear what I was saying, and she broke up with me. .
{{awwwwww. . scattered boos}}
No, no. . it's okay. . because you see, I remember. . I remember that one night when I was so low. . my girl wouldn't talk to me. . and my dad smashed my guitar and used it to start a fire to burn the hair he had cut off my head. . and it was that day I decided I didn't want to be no accountant like my ma wanted. . I wanted to be a rock and roll star.. . so I went on this website I hung out at called the DIS. . and I poured my heart out there. . and then I found myself going back there over and over. . then one night; I looked. . and my post count was way lower then it should have been. . . and so I wrote this little song about it. . and I want to play it for youse guys right, and it's called
The DISer.
A one, a two, a three four. . .
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
But then I got a computer
And found this Disney site
No matter how much I resist
I'm there every night. .
I'm going down as a DISer
Yes as a DISer I'll ride
Oh down as a DISer I'll die. . .
Then I got made a mod
and man that was all she wrote
And for my 5000th post
I got a thanks and a Dan Murphy quote
It went up to the Birthday board
And the WM's put it all to rest
No more big smiles; no thanks from Uncle Kyle
No bouncies, no more "Willy, you're the best"
That night I went down as a DISer
And my post count took a dive
Oh down as a DISer I did ride
I tried posting more, to make up for what was gone
But lately the "server's busy", so I guess the deal is done
Now all them posts seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Alex acts like he don't care
But I remember the Corn and Emu legs
And Charlie NJ for a classic he begged
At night on this place I'd lie awake
And post as many dwarf brawls as the server would take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Are lost posts just a glitch in the server my friend
Or is it something worse?
That sends me down as a DISer
When my post count took a dive
That sends me down as a DISer tonight. .
