  Saturday night around 0500 UTC I kept hearing some pirate on 7416 kHz
in USB. He called 'Voice Of The Night' operator Lad several time but
never got a response. He then proceded to laugh at Lad for the recent 
Outer Limits portion of "Monotoring Times" in which he is said to be the 
least popular pirate in history.
  This guys voice sounded familiar, did anybody else catch this? Anybody
got any ideas?

A while back we were having a discussion on interfacing the radio in/out
signals to a telephone. It was recommended that I call Xecom and get info
on the Data Access Arranger XE0004. I got it today (I had to call a second 
time and have it sent to my house. I think the first one was confiscated
somewhere @ school.) and am trying to absorb this thing but I' getting
confused. It has a "sample" config using a modem wher ethe transmitt and 
recieve lines are connected with a 536K resistor and the the recieve line is
connected to the T1 pin. (transformer pin 1 is what I gather) I don't think
I can do this with an input channel on the mixer and one of the output. It'll
feed back.

So, my question is, who has done this and how have the done this. I need
to pull the incomming voice out into one of the mixer channels and then pump
the output (t(the dj voice/music) back into the input on the phone.

What's going on here: I've got an SB Pro in a 25 MHz 386 with 16 Mb of
RAM, and have been playing around with a few Windows programs that work
with MIDI files.  On more than several occasions I've run into the
following problem: Load a MIDI file into Microsoft's Media Player (the
thing that comes with Windows 3.1) and start it playing; the first one or
two measures play fine, but then the music stops and the system
IMMEDIATELY kicks out of Windows, clears the screen, and gives me a DOS
prompt.  After that, keyboard commands seem to work and although I can
start other programs, the mouse is dead (I'm sure other things are
corrupt as well).  I've seen WinJammer die in the same way, but the
separate player utility that comes with WinJammer seems to work fine.


Anyone seen this kind of thing before?

rec.music.classical

I must admit that I like this joke.  I have some suggestions for those
participating, though:  You could make this into a real joke.

What I mean is that at it's current rate the joke will burn itself out
very quickly.  There have appeared perhaps twenty messages in one day on
this subject.  A lot of people sure do know a lot about this obscure
composer.  Also, in making the joke silly (ala zoologist, etc) it is also
making it unbelievable, and obvious.

I propose that we propagate Kradaken seriously.  For instance, if someone
would show me how to use musicTeX I would be more than happy to provide
some of Kradaken's works in postscript.  We could also write detailed
musical analysis of some of his works.  We could create an entire
personality and history for this character, and if it's done right, it
will not only be believed, but may actually lead to far grander
situations.  Can you imagine a performance of one of the long lost works of
Huenter Kradaken?  How about inclusion in a music encyclopedia?

So I leave it to you.  I think this could go a long, long ways, but it
needs to be organized and carefully... orchestrated.  If you want to make
this joke last, the first thing to do is to stop posting!

I remember a number of Frat 'razing' rituals, all involving blindfolds and
illusiory stimuli.  One of the worst is when a brick is tied to a new Frat
brother's member and said brick is dropped off of a staircase (but the fool
doesn't know that either (i) it's a foam brick (ii) the brick is dropped all
of one inch (iii) there's somebody next to him with a quick set of scissors).

For the blindfolded gags to make their way to pranks or shennanegans, try
doing the same thing to some unsuspecting person in a very dark room.

Example:

  Unexpecting person walks into very dark room, already a little scared.
  Hears a chainsaw start up;  the door is locked.
  Feels chainsaw on his stomach (the chain has been removed-- all it does now
  is vibrate and make gas powered noises) and guts spilling out (very warm and
  fresh spagetti with vegtable sauce splattered onto him, possibly from the
  chainsaw).


Sure, it's cruel and unusual, but you're welcome to offer something better.

Well, a Sociology prof. told us an interesting story of his earlier days.   He
and his friends went to register and the officials demanded that they specify
a religious preference and after some arguing, they did.  They all put down that
they were druids.  A few years ago, some researcher published a paper on the
rise of strange religons in the midwest and the sudden increase of druidism
shown by student registation cards was a major point in his paper.

Another thing:  The shenanigan poster(s) should put some kind of mutually-
agreed-upon code in their signature so that other shenaniganers (and
yourself) can tell who is BSing, and who is suckered.  Then in a few
months, someone should ask the classical group about this 'composer'
again just to see if anyone remembers him/her/it.  The true test if

When I read the subject line, I though it might be something akin to the "book
drop" shenanigan we pulled in my HS.  It isn't, but I'll relate the tale
anyway.

A minor prank, I'll admit, but...

when I was a sophomore, and taking Human Biology, which was always 7th period,
we spontaneously began (or at least I can't remember whose idea it was) the
tradition of the Three-O'Clock Book Drop, which to my knowledge continues.

Every few weeks or so, one of us would be in the mood for one, and would stand
outside the Biology classroom before 7th period, saying "Three-O'Clock Book
Drop, pass the word."  Then, at precisely 3:00 pm, by the wall clock, we would
all slide our neatly stacked piles of books off of our desks, so that they
would all land simultaneously (and quite loudly, I might add) on the floor, and
then pick them up and put them back on our desks as though nothing had
happened.

This unnerved our Biology teacher, especially the first time we did it.  But he
never said a word about it, or did anything about it.

I mean, what was he going to do?  Give his entire Honors Human Biology class
detention?

Ok, folks, here's your chance to be involved in a net shenanigan. This
is one I've been wanting to pull for awhile. I just posted an article on
rec.classical asking if anyone had heard of the obscure composer
Huenter Kradaken. The joke, of course, is that there IS no such composer.
However, I now need people to post giving me information about
Kradaken. (Feel free to make up whatever bogus information you want to.)
Make it at least a little believable. The goal is to see how long we
can go before someone sez "Wait a sec! There's no such composer!"
Thanks for any help, and please, if you are also a reader of rec.classical,
don't tip them off.
