'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the chat room
Not a chatter typed sanely, but said "BoInG" and "ZoOm"

The bots were all hung by the entrance with care
to watch for lamers and kick here and there.

The chatters were all typing, 'LOL' some said
While visions of ophood danced in their heads

With X at her @ and I in my channel;
I had just settled down in my underwear flannel

When over in #earthbound there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my mouse to see what was the matter

I found that some hackers were trying to take over
By riding the split which just merged with Andover

Kicking like lightning and using X-powa
Struck fear in their hearts and forced them to cower

The hackers retreated and quietly muttered
Various curses concerning my mother

The terror was over, the channel set free
By the groovy-cool ops and AutoEB

Thank you for reading this shameless plug
