Bristel's Silver Bells [Christmas Carol Contest]

Day 1,117, 13:53 • Published in New Zealand Ireland

Here's my entry to Fionia's Christmas Carol Contest:

Contest rules here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/christmas-carol-contest-1601462/1/20

The original song, Silver Bells, as sung by Dean Martin:

**note that this song is just a parody, meant for entertainment purposes only

Silver Bells

eRep cit’zens busy cit’zens
Dressed in cheap marketplace clothes
In the IRC
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Bristel’s laughing
eNZers passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry newspaper you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in eRepublik
Ring a ling hear them sing
Soon it will be PTO day!

Strings of bot nets
Even Srpskis
Blink a bright red and green
As the thieves rush
home with their treasures

Hear our hopes crunch
See the sad bunch
This is the Don’s big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in eRepublik
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be PTO day!

That was awful. The rhyme didn't even match when you tried to shoe-horn "PTO" in.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 15:30

Adam Reese, some of the lines in the original song don't have rhyme, but meter.

Adam Reese Day 1,117, 15:32

If you're going to a steal a song, at least try to match it up. Otherwise, you're bastardizing the original song.

Also, the contest is in the eUSA. It has nothing to do with eNZ, since RL NZ doesn't even celebrate Christmas.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 15:33

I can't move my newspaper to eUSA, Adam, so your complaining is moot.

ITT Adam Reese doesn't know what he's talking about.

Sure is herp and derp in here.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 15:57

Herpy derp, herpy derp...
It's Christmas time in New Zealand...

Adam Reese: stop lying for a change. RL NZ does celebrate Christmas, it's a national holiday in fact. Whether you were being a fail troll (as usual) or not about christmas, I don't know. Also, if you don't like fun things then you are clearly in the wrong country.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 16:10

And clearly this trolling parody of Don and the Serbs is approved by The Don himself, my paisano.

Adam Reese Day 1,117, 16:38

Christmas is observed, not celebrated by RL NZ.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 16:48

Adam, that does not follow. Why would Christmas be observed if not celebrated?

MisterBeefhead Day 1,117, 17:04

There is nothing to celebrate. Kiwis are studying santa in order to destoy him.

Manny Calavera Day 1,117, 17:17

Voted!

Adam Reese, I'm a RL New Zealander and I live in the US now, there is absolutely no difference in how RL Kiwis and RL Amuricans celebrate the holidays, except I believed in Father Christmas AKA Santa when I lived in NZ, the US ruined everything for me.
Fail Troll 😛

Octavius Dryst Day 1,117, 18:55

Adam Reese I don't know you, but I don't feel as though I will like you.

Adam Reese Day 1,117, 19:03

I'm fine with that, Octavius. I'm not here to make friends, as clichéd as that sounds.

Bristel Akina Day 1,117, 19:29

Then why play, Adam, this is a social MMO...

Adam Reese Day 1,117, 20:08

For my own amusement, of course, Bristel. I don't have to make friends to have fun.

Chetan Zapato Day 1,117, 23:18

Yay Adams here to complain about things he doesn't know what he is talking about again!

Xanthar Zaiban told him whats what!

Bristel, nice attempt but it needs a little polish here and there but still better than my parodies 😛

Adam Reese Day 1,117, 23:35

"Yay Adams here to complain about things he doesn't know what he is talking about again!"

That's ironic, coming from you.

James Rellori Day 1,118, 06:23

Adam dont be a troll...

Go back to your bridge.

Adam Reese Day 1,118, 06:23

"Adam dont be a troll"
The irony just keeps on coming.

Bristel Akina Day 1,118, 07:18

Oh there he goes, bearing his cross again.

Carr De Vaux Day 1,118, 19:58

Adam Reese Day 1,119, 04:53

"Oh there he goes, bearing his cross again."
Same goes to you. I don't hear you admitting your faults, either.

GodFatherBear Day 1,130, 18:54

Adam dont be a troll... x2

There you go. Comming from me, its no longer irony (:
(I don't consider myself a troll lol)

Adam Reese Day 1,130, 20:46

You don't have to consider yourself one to be one, especially when you wait 11 days after the last post to insult me, Michal.

Bristel Akina Day 1,139, 01:24

Adam Reese, do you spend all this time looking at my articles even 11 days later after the original post?

Do you have some sort of itching or burning feeling when someone mentions your name that makes you come running in to post a comment?

Adam Reese Day 1,139, 05:23

It's called subscribing to the comments, Bristel. Look it up sometime.
