Definitely a "miscellaneous" transformer if ever I saw one - here is a custom transformer/workspace that uses the new looping technology and published parameters to let you create customized song lyrics along the lines of the '99 bottles of beer' motif. For example...

99 FME points in the pipe. 
99 FME points. 
If one of these features should happen to gripe, 
98 FME points in the pipe.
(Ending with: Oh no! The Unexpected Input Remover!)

99 tickets to do in the queue. 
99 tickets to do. 
If the problem is solved when I give them a clue, 
98 tickets to do in the queue.
(Ending with: Great - now everyone's happy!)

Output is written to a text file.

Of course this is the North American version. I know the British would use "ten green bottles, sitting on the wall". Are there any other international variations on the theme?
