In the hope of evading at least some rotten tomatoes I shall submit my second and third masterpieces late, as it were - with luck everyone's asleep...
:hiding:
A young lass who loved TSBT crunching
Was watching the screen while munching
"Yipee!" said she
"It's a Wallaby-3....
I'll boinc that one before luncheon!".


A young man of TSBT fame
Had two hamsters and an ancient mainframe
When asked about his stats,
He would say they were rats,
And the machine was as mad as it claimed.


...er, by the way, does it have to make sense ?

My first attempt at Stupid 'O' Clock in the morning

"A group of fellows
From TeeEsBeeTee
Got a set of bellows for GPU cooling, you see
Tae suck or blaw they didnae fash ata
The best judge of Temp’ being the Mither-in-law."

Good Night :wink:

Attempt number two 8)

These same fellows of TeeEsBeeTee fame
Tried more cooling of GPU, the same
This time they tried gas
But not one could pass
Enough wind to create even a flame.

No'' 3 of the trilogy :shock:

“We’re Doomed” said the fellows of TeeEsBeeTee fame
For the cooling of this GPU, yes the same
Is beyond our guile’s
But hing on a whiles
We could try Nitrogen “Eureka” they exclaimed.

Right here's my feeble attempts

There was a young man of TSBT fame
Whose credits were starting to wane
So he went to Dell
Who put him through hell
But his RAC is now on the gain.

There was a young man of TSBT fame
Crunching was his favourite game
A CPU here
and a GPU there
Till his credits were truly insane

A young man of TSBT fame
The number one spot was his aim
He crunched Milky Way
So much every day
His teeth fell out - oh what a shame!

Just reminding everyone that this comp closes at midnight on Friday.

So far there are two or three that I like (naming no names), but a few more to choose will still be welcome.

OK. I'm still around. I'll review entries with Mrs T tomorrow and let you know who has won soon. :)

Sorry for the delay folks.

Good entries, although on the whole not quite risqué enough for my tastes, but I can reveal that we have a winner.

Using completely unpredictable judgement criteria I am pleased to announce Storme's contribution as the one that will get the prize.

Storme: I'll PM you about getting the gold, sorry, Amazon voucher, to you asap.

Everyone else: thank you for entering.

Well done Storme! :D
Risque you wanted was it? And there was I trying to keep it clean! :roll:

Unpredictable indeed - I didn't expect to be in with a chance with so many good entries!

Well done Storme, I thought you might be in with a chance, a very topical lyric.

Mr Thinhead

A great idea for a competition 8) The things people will do to get rid of Amazon vouchers :wink:
