[filk] Because I Logged In, Chain Filk, anyone?

I won't be surprised if this doesn't go over well.
I was browsing the CWDB when I came across "Everybody Must Get Ownzed". Now, I don't like Bob Dylan, but the idea of having everybody contribute verses is pretty cool and vaguely reminiscent of the MetaRenga. So, since I heard my little brother singing it, (where did he get this, anyway?) Afroman's "Because I Got High" became "Because I Logged In".
All verses sound like this:
I was gonna clean my room
But I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom
But I got high
Now my room is still messed up, and I know why
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
------------------------
Wordsmith's verses:

I was gonna write a paper
But I logged in
It would've been a crazy caper
But I logged in
Now my teacher's on my case, But that's no sin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in

I was gonna go on a date
But I logged in
It probably would've been great
But I logged in
Now I stood my girlfriend up, but that's no sin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in
------------------------
Ready? Great! Now you try!
-Wordsmith
"Are the forums thataddictive?" "Yes."

EDIT: I have the strange idea, looking more closely at the challenge inherent in "Everybody Must Get Ownzed", that I can't compete. I'll come back to this land once I've finished recording (yes, you read that right), "Domo Arigato, Great Teacher Largo". Unless, of course, this floats better than a lump of granite. Farewell for now.

I was gonna get a job
But I logged in
It would've made me a few "bob"
But I logged in
Now I can't pay the rent, but that's no sin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in

I was gonna CG some strips
But then I logged in
Horribly, I kept screwing up the lips
But then I logged in
Now it’s all in the Recycling Bin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in

I would've written a filk
but I logged in
I would've joined the bard's ilk
but I logged in
Now my brain is mush, and my eyes'll spin
just 'cause I logged in
because I logged in
because I logged in

<Edit> Okay, so the whole filk thing wasn't in Afroman's... but the humor struck me as being worth it.

I was gonna do some work
But I logged in
I was gonna no longer in SD lurk
But I logged in
It all sums up in no work done, and 'signment thin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in

I was gonna study for school
But I logged in
Had a test 'cause my teacher is cruel
But I logged in
So I made a failing grade on what I'm majoring in
'Cause I logged in
'Cause I logged in
'Cause I logged in

Tonight was the nigt I was gonna get some sleep
But I logged in
I really need to spend time countin' sheep
But I logged in
I guess I can sleep in the cube again
Because I Logged in
Because I Logged in
Because I Logged in

I was gonna go watch TV
But I logged in.
I was gonna sit down and watch TV,
But I logged in.
But there's sod all on the box, and I know why..
'Cause they're logged in
'Cause they're logged in
'Cause they're logged in...

@B33r: Points for using the word "ilk". Nice one.

I was gonna go buy food
But I logged in
Trying not to get mad at the n00bs
Although they logged in
My fridge is barren still
To my roomie's chagrin
It's 'cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in...

A gold star to everybody who's replied so far.
Guess I'll stick around for a while.

(Largo)
I was gonna 0wn that boss
But I logged in
I'd remain without a loss
But I logged in
Now he's beat me thrice
Whole game's a toss
Cause I logged in
Because I logged in
Because I logged in


Ok, maybe that's more about me than Largo. I have actually restarted games because I lost a boss battle. And I usually only lose when I'm distracted. And thrice.. hehe. I love that word. Don't know why... ^^;

EDIT: Is it just me, or does one verse of the original work unchanged except for the high part?

I messed up my entire life
Because I logged on
I lost my kids and wife
Because I logged on
Now I'm sleepin on the sidewalk
And I know why
Cause I logged on
Because I logged on
Because I logged on

Ok, so it's not truely a flik, but it does seem to fit, doesn't it?

By the dear and holy lord of all the little penguins, it's Shoka! Okay, Word, I'm impressed, you've lured the !-a-penguin out of hiding!

I was gonna do my homework, main (mainly, don't tell me I can't write that)
But then I logged in
I was gonna do my math, but in vain (is it vain or vein?)
But then I logged in
Now I'm sitting under the bridge, and I'm in pain

Because I logged in
Because I logged in
