I'd just like to interject for a moment 

A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

it's like shuffling deck chairs on the titanic 

Actually means: actions taken solely for the feeling (or the appearance) of doing something about an unavoidable situation; actions that not only accomplish nothing but *blatantly* accomplish nothing.

Pounded like a rented gerbil 

"Pounded like a rented gerbil" is a phrase used to describe disastrous events- usually painful financial setbacks.

As you can imagine, rented gerbils would be the unfortunate recipients of an especially rough and vigorous pounding experience, when compared with the more tender romantic encounters of privately owned gerbils. After all, you'll be returning the poor rodent right back to the rental office tomorrow, so why bother taking good care of it?
How'd it go for me at the blackjack tables last night? I got pounded like a rented gerbil, that's how! I dropped almost two grand! Fuck... that'll teach me to gamble with money I can't afford to lose.

Smack my ass like a drum
