[from wikipedia] The term "streaking" was coined by a reporter for a local Washington DC news station as he watched a
"mass nude run" take place at the University of Maryland in 1973. That nude run had over 500 participants. As the collected
mass of nude students exited Bel Air dorm with the lead runner using a flaming broom to part the 2000 plus crowd of spectators
like the Red Sea, the reporter, who voice was broadcast live over the station via a pay phone connection exclaimed... "they
are streaking past me right now. It's an incredible sight!" The next day it was out on the Associated Press wire as "streaking"
and had nationwide coverage.
(Reporter): Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news that is news
across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you
see what happened?
(Witness): Yeah, I did. I's standin' over there by the tomaters, and here he come, running through
the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables, carryin' a LAN card. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Log off, Ethel!"
But it's too late, she'd already been re-booted.
(Chorus) Here he comes, (look at that, look at that) There he goes, (look at that, look at
that) just think of all that he knows!
Oh, yes, they call him the Geek (Look at that, look at that) Fastest thing on two feet (Look
at that, look at that) If there's a network that is down He'll be runnin' around You could say he's unique
Oh, yes, they call him the Geek (Look at that, look at that) works 80 hours each week (Look
at that, look at that) If there's a network to be found He'll be streakin' around each and every day of the week
(Reporter): This is your action news reporter once again, and we're here at the gas station.
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?
(Witness): Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my car checked, he just appeared out of the traffic.
Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't have nothin' in his hand but a router. I looked in there, and Ethel was
gettin' her a cold drink. I hollered, "Log off, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already been blue screened. Flashed her
EPROMS right there in front of the shock absorbers.
(Chorus) He ain't crude, (look at that, look at that) He ain't lewd, (look at that, look at
that) He's just a shrewd kind of dude
Oh, yes, they call him the Geek (Look at that, look at that) Computer problems he'll seek (Look
at that, look at that) You'll see him turnin' the screws finding trouble shootin' clues Guess you could call
him unique
(Reporter): Once again, your action news reporter in the booth at the gym, covering the disturbance
at the basketball playoff. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?
(Witness): Yeah, I did. Half time, I's just goin' down thar to get Ethel a snow cone. And here
he come, right out of the cheap seats, dribbling, right down the middle of the court. Wasn't carryin' anything but his toolkit.
Made a hook shot and got out through the concessions stand. I hollered up at Ethel, I said, "Log off, Ethel!" But it was too
late. She'd already got a 404. Her Explorer crashed, right there in front of the whole world.
(Chorus) [Witness]: Oh, yes, they call him the Geek [Here he comes again.] (Look at that,
look at that) [Who's that with him?] The fastest thing on two feet [Ethel? Is that you, Ethel?] (Look at that, look
at that) [What do you think you're] If there's a network that is down [doin'? You drop that] He'll be streaking around
[LAN card!] Each and every day of the week
Oh, yes, they call him the Geek [Ethel! Where you goin'?] (Look at that, look at that) [Ethel,
you shameless] Works 80 hours each week [hussy! Say it isn't so,] (Look at that, look at that) [Ethel! Ethelllllll!!!] You'll
see him turnin' the screws
Finding trouble shootin' clues You could say he's unique
