Phone Tree, and a bonus challenge for Balticon listeners! May 28
One of the most hated business developments of the past 20 years are those automated touch tone answering things, where you push 5 for more options.
It seems there’s more to it than that.
And so there’s more to it than this, I am throwing down the gauntlet! Since this weekend is Balticon, and it feels like everyone I know is having a liver-punishing good time in Maryland without me, I issue this challenge: Anyone who plays this episode of Braindouche! for a crowd at Balticon, and can prove it to me somehow, I’ll send you $5. I don’t know how you’re supposed to prove it, that’s up to you.
Good luck!
UPDATE: Round about 2:30am, the fantasticly fantastic Nutty Nuchtchas brought the FETIDUS party to a screeching halt and completed the challenge! Here’s the video proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XST358xxCmU
She actually managed to do it twice, but thanks to flaky wifi in the Balticon hotel, it took almost 7 hours to download this 7mb file, and she only got halfway through the first time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRE2-w33jgU
So, Nutty shall be awarded the princely sum of $7.50, in thanks for spread Braindouche! mayhem in my stead. Thank you, Nutty!
