Re: Music to hack to

[Falcor <falcor () netassassin com>]

I'm more a classical / baroque listener when writing... it keeps me 
calm. although it slows down my typing too.  Havlar and the rest, damn 
them, have me not just humming.. but singing the theme song to the 
"Muppet Show!"  I was okay, up until I spoke as if I was the "Swedish 
Chef" during a conference call that didn't go over really all that well 
with my boss.  I just told him "de furndie furndie... code in de morning 
furndie bork bork bork" and hung up.  Then I laughed for ten minutes, 
and got a rather confused email from him asking if I needed some 
vacation time.  Granted, this went over far better then the time I was 
stuck in Kentucky (no offence to people who live there) for three weeks 
and had the phone system record my name, for the greeting on a 
conference call, as "I say boy!  BOY!  You ain't no chicken hawk, you a 
CHICKEN!"  I got to go to special training with H/R for that one.  
Apparently some of my "peers" were deprived of Saturday Morning Cartoons 
and didn't get the reference.
