I don't think any of the Tavern forums are searchable (maybe the Gameroom, not sure). They are the largest forums, and searches through them are detrimental to the performance of the board as a whole. At least that's what Tosa said a few years ago.

The frontroom is searchable.

Or not)

And its a special thank you from me to Cameron McKenna, as I now realise that, however bad my own awaydays seem to be, they are NOTHING compared to how awful they could be. Though I'd quite like to be let rip writing a three minute death metal number about how Lord Justice Jacob really sucks.

Good stuff . CMS is best! (Woah-hoh!) Better than the rest! (Whoah-hoh!)

There's only grumbling, so you can understand it anyway.

Also, this is NOT A JOKE.

I'd still like this Frontroomed.

Recent additions to my hall of shame:

Phillips Was My First Love

Honeywell Quest Is Quality [dead link] (maybe the worst-performed one so far)

Henkel—We Together

Miami Herald.

The Apple theme song.

Because we needed proof that both Apple and Microsoft suck.

As amusing as this one is, I don't think it's genuine. (As in, The Miami Herald didn't have it produced or deploy it as a value-added fungible asset-class actualization item.)

my ears are bleeding!

somewhere Lenin is laughing.

Well, it's from a former Herald employee...so it might not be genuine, but it's close.

SGI has a lovely dream -- two CPUs. [dead link]

Novell has a kinda Sheryl Crow thing going on.

I have no idea who Asera is, but they're here to stay. [dead link] And, um, they rock or something.

**Vladimir** · 08-17-2011, 20:21

Did I already post this?

Military industrial rock complex.

**Lemur** · 10-25-2011, 17:23

Drupa is back with a more country vibe. [dead link]

Asera everywhere! [dead link]

And lastly, there's not a web site that offers to create corporate anthems on demand. ABOUT DAMN TIME! I think maybe we should take up a collection to have them compose something stirring for the Org ...

I know this thread is supposed to be trashy, so I don't know if this fits the theme. From what I can make out, the lyrics are supposed to have been written by one of their employees (presumably from an internal compeition), but more intriguingly, the melody is by Joe Hisaishi and it's sung by Inoue Azumi. For those familiar with anime, that's the combination in Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky, My Neighbour Totoro, and some of the image songs from Kiki's Delivery Service.

Commemorating Denso Corporation's 45th anniversary, here's "Door to the Universe".

"Door to the Universe" Lyrics

* Today, feel the wind.
Turn your face to the sun.
How long has it been since you listened to the sounds of the earth?

Right from the start,
We knew it in our heart
Anything was possible if only we believed. . . in ourselves.

Make the dream come alive.
It's time for us to decide...
To stand in place or take a chance.
We have the vision.
We can make a difference...

(Chorus)
Open up the door to a universe beyond what you know.
Take a step and touch a dream, just pick a star to follow.
Possibilities -- no boundaries.
Open up the door...open the door.

Today, embrace the sea.
Tomorrow, try dancing with the sun.
Who knows how high we can fly, if only we try.

This vast world.
Full of challenges far and wide
Face each test -- one step at a time.

Make the dream come alive.
It's time for us to decide...
To stand in place or take a chance.
We have the power;
We've made the choice to...

(Chorus)

Open up the door to a universe beyond what you know.
Take a step and touch a dream, just pick a star to follow.
Possibilities -- no boundaries.
Open up the door...DENSO.

Open up the door to a universe beyond what you know.
Take a chance to reach for your dreams and sing this song full of hope.
Set your vision free -- no boundaries.
Open up the door to DENSO -- DENSO.
