//Sing to the tune of "Pinball Wizard" by The Who (see below)

CPS Nerd

Ever since I was a freshman,
I've Programmed c++;
From Anagram to Dorque
I even programmed Huff,
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In the lab at Teer---
This CPS nerd
Sure doesn't like to drink beer!!!

He opens up xemacs
Starts starin' at the screen
If he gets a BUS error,
He always types Make Clean;
He loves to use recursion,
Or push it on the stack---
This CPS nerd,
He's got the skills I lack!!!

He's a computer wizard
He writes a struct for Node
A computer wizard
Where does get this code!!!

How do you think he does it?  I don't know?
What makes him so good?

He wants to know complexity,
And figure out Big-Oh;
Says not to use tvector
Instead a queue- FIFO;
Writes a program in an hour
That would take me a year,
This CPS Nerd,
Sure doesnt' like to drink beer!!!

Submit isn't working
I asked him what to do
He called me stupid,
For trying to submit foo!!!

He wrote a book called Tapestry
His login;s O - L - A,
I asked for an extension,
He laughed and said "no way!"
My program finally compiles
He's been dones for weeks,
Our CPS Prof,
Sure is king of the Geeks!!!

original lyrics:

"Pinball Wizard"
by The Who

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
>From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !
He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
He plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall.
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !
He's a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist.
A pin ball wizard,
S'got such a supple wrist.
'How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?'
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
'n' never tilts at all...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball.
I thought I was
The Bally table king.
But I just handed
My pin ball crown to him.
Even my usual table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!
