'nuther bonehead idea from Shaded

Don't you hate it when people talk about themselves in the third person?

bah.

No really that wasn't the bad idea... my bad idea was... well the shameful thing is I can't think of what they're called.  You know when you listen to the radio and the radio hosts have those consoles with a variety of sounds they can play on command.  Well when I worked tech support for a top OEM one thing I always wanted was rebooting music.

Something like the jeopardy theme that lasts just about as long as it take to reboot.  I even had jokes I would tell people while I was waiting for people to reboot to fill the awkword silence and keep the customer from getting frustrated.   "Some day I'll have rebooting music, when I've worked this job long enough... until then you'll have to listen to me hum the Jeopardy theme..."

Well what has occured to me watching the Channel 9 videos is how awkword these programmers are.  Awkword and humble really, especially when something happens that they don't expect.  Its almost like they are expecting a troll to be standing over their shoulder screaming "I see a windows bug!" simply because we're so used to seeing them on the  internet.

So my point is, what if Channel 9 could add to the theme of its programming.  Somewhat like the whammy on... whatever that game show was... I can't even remember the name but EVERYONE remembers the "no whammies no whammies STOP"

Regardless of how serious a person was, they always said "no whammies" and they always laughed when it inevitably showed up.

So... Channel 9 needs a crash whammy, debug whammy... something much cooler than a whammy but JUST as corny- to get everyone laughing.  Anything to get these people to relax and show us how they fix these problems.  We expect them to happen... don't we?  So why not laugh at them?

Most importantly I wanted to say thanks again, I really enjoy the Channel 9 videos.  If this idea ends up going down in flames I wouldn't be too suprised or disappointed but maybe some of these genius hacks that visit the coffeehouse can add that edge to this idea and make it happen.

... have fun folks.
