“That is Jazz Fusion sir!”
Dear Readers: If you are seeing this post, Glibertarians is in dire straits. New posts are needed. I wrote this post while on hold with Verizon. The story is true.
Back when I basically did everything at the company which employs me, we had to roll out a new phone system. Part of this implementation was to get new ‘On Hold’ music to entertain our customers as they waited. Sadly, we were only given seven options instead of allowing me and my friend E. to go nuts and assign something like this relaxing ditty. E. chose an upbeat funk beat, out of the options. We implemented the system with no issues.
Two weeks later at a company meeting, the president asked us how things were going with the new phone system, and one of the call center staff stood up and said:
“I MUST say something about the new on-hold music on our phone system. It is PORNOGRAPHIC soundtrack music! Our customer deserve better than this… PORNO BEAT!”
E. was horrified. This was one of seven standard choices for music offered by the phone company, it was hardly porno. Also he liked the music. As the company president stared at the call center employee, eyes wide, still trying to come up with words to address this concern, I saw E. shoot up out of his chair.
“It’s not PORNO MUSIC! It’s JAZZ FUSION!”
A legend was born. For the record, the music E. picked was very close to this track. So what do you think? Is it porno music? Or Jazz Fusion?
I still think the best on hold music ever is Summer Samba. Fight me in the comments below! Let’s have an elevator music war! And for Pete’s sake, write some posts!
It has come to this.

Lol. Awesome.
You have just the right avatar for your comment.
Since he apparently left the links before I arrived, I sent Swiss a forum message about the missing Part 1.
Is there a reliable way of reaching the editorial staff?
That’s it.
I saw it… I need to mull over how to handle this.
I found a wonderfully heartwarming story that I wanted to share with you cretins but it’s on Facebook, which I know we don’t all have! So I will paste the link for FB users and the text for others. The pictures are the best part though.
From the Minnesota Raptor Center:
Dang it, WordPress hates the FB link code I guess.
2nd try:
https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheRaptorCenter%2Fposts%2F10160171050739656&show_text
I’m shocked FB’s algorithm showed you something nontoxic.
Facebook has finally realized I’m a total sucker for animal rescue videos, and I have “followed” the Minnesota raptor center and the eagle cam for years.
The rest of the crap they serve up to me is completely inexplicable.
When I worked at a country club on the grounds crew in HS, there was a Great Horned Owl nest in a willow tree that I passed multiple times every day. As they got bigger, they left the nest and just perched on a branch for what seemed like 3-4 weeks until they were grown enough to fly. The mother was huge, but didn’t see her very often. They weren’t real high up in the air, so you could get really good views of the “little ones”. Even before flying they were probably a foot and half tall or so from what I remember, and all white with some light gray color. It was a cool experience watching them everyday.
They are eerie at night when there’s a bunch of them around hooting and screeching. It can be down right scary.
They’re all fluff and feathers.
Yes, but they look really big. The mom had a really big wingspan.
One morning, way early like 4 AM, I went outside to go to the airport in Minneapolis. I saw the silhouette of the biggest cat I’d ever seen, just sitting there on the lawn.
Then it spread its wings and took off. A great horned owl. Awe inspiring! And a little scary.
I’m picturing a Rush album cover that may depict this event.
Meanwhile, on the Zooms, we discuss raptors being dumb as posts and corvids being smart as whips.
We have a pair in our neighborhood and when you pull up to the end of the cul-de-sac late at night, they’ll spread their wings and they look friggin’ huge.
Obligatory
I think HM was the first person to post a link to this fine song, if I remember correctly.
Summer Samba is an excellent choice. Along with Yakkety Sax.
If you need instrumental hold music, try this
That is awesome, Aloysious!
*bookmarks*
That music does have a bit of a “brown chicken brown cow” vibe.
Yes
And yeah, Summer Samba is glorious.
It sure is.
I could fap to it.
I was on hold once and the music was a MIDI version of Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”.
Infuriate the callers by making this the hold music.
This would probably enrage callers, too.
Try this! Hey hey hey!

I am forced to say that because of MikeS, I will be forced to find a new site upon which to bless with The First That Will Change Everything, pending immediate intervention from The Great Firster or an apology.

No. The bottom of the previous post.
I don’t see anything at the bottom of the previous post (the afternoon story correct?).

The call center staffer who complained needs to watch more porn. That is jazz fusion. Your friend is absolutely correct.
If only you were there that day to say “You need to watch more porn! That is clearly jazz fusion!”
I wish I was.
I was informed the commercial fusion wouldn’t be available until 2030.
I, no kidding, received an email this afternoon from a company trying to recruit me to help with their fusion generator. They need high voltage pulsed power folk.
I am EXTREMELY skeptical. Plus, no way am I moving to Seattle.
So you don’t think that company is close to achieving net positive power?
Just 10 years away.
It’s nice to be wanted.
Aside from the wokeness and the communism, I have fond memories of the Seattle area in the mid 90’s. One of the better meals I’ve had was down at the Seattle piers. Butcher paper on the table. They give you a bib, a hammer, and a cracker. Then they overturn a big pot of seafood boil on the table. Heaven! We ate until I could eat no more.
I was automating a propane plane in Renton. We had security camera feeds of couples fucking in the poison ivy just outside the gates.
And public access cable TV showed all sorts of deviancy live. I watched a fella get a Prince Albert with no anesthesia on live TV!

I’m trying to eat dinner.

Poison oak is the hidden northwest specialty. Reminds me I need to see if any has grown back this spring.
For the record, the music E. picked was very close to this track. So what do you think? Is it porno music? Or Jazz Fusion?
It’s 70s porno music.

I was hold with the post office the other day (don’t ask) and I was given an option to choose the hold music genre I listened to. I chose nothing but was still subjected to music.
Hopefully you will be delivered soon.
If you choose nothing you should be subjected to James May talking about mode railroads.
I could listen to James May talk about anything all day, especially that.
I am with rhywun here. Model trains are awesome, as is James May.
Mode. Model.
I hereby pronounce Monday to be Mistype Monday. Must be a curse. Everyone’s been hit today.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice…
Meaning you have to listen to 2112 in its entirety, before the automated system tells you you have another 21:12 in the queue.
The post office is unfamiliar with the word or band “rush”
KSuel, I saw your question from the other day, and they list 2861 odd movies as of today. Some titles come and go, but a lot of them are always available. And they send out an email with new arrivals and what to watch before it goes away. There is a difference between Criterion streaming and the Criterion Classics. Like Raging Bull is not streaming, but has to be purchased on DVD/Blueray. There are also a lot of extra’s like commentary versions, genre documentaries, interviews, and whatnot. I think it is totally worth it, but I like those types of movies – foreign and art house. They also set up things such as double features, they have featured directors, and so on. I have subscribed for a couple years now, and I think it is totally worth it. Especially as I don’t really go to the theater too much anymore, which is kinda sad, as there is a decent arthouse in the next town over, along with a revival house. But, covid lockdowns fucked all that up.
Thanks for the info Zwak. Yeah that sounds up my alley definitely. I’m gonna sign up I think. Just ditched Netflix because of the lack of good movies on it. I’ve always dug the Criterion stuff.
MikeS hardest hit.
A fork in the road lay before me, and I chose the high road.
…cuz I didn’t want Mo’ getting all up in my shit. ?
Last time I found a fork in the road – I worried it would give me a flat tire.
Well, I refrained from saying it or commenting upon Ksuel’s comment so you wouldn’t feel like I was all up in your shit. You’re welcome!

It’s good to see you choose free will.

“What did you do, Ra’?”
“I tried to think of the most harmless…something from my childhood…”
“They put Baby Shark on the hold music, Ra’!”
It was a great day when CVS finally changed their hideous hold music.
There is so much public domain classical music out there that it boggles my mind that they don’t just play Laserlight freebies of Baroque or whatever.
It’s like they WANT us to suffer.
I lived with a guy who wrote plot summaries for movies, tv shows, and pornos back when there was the big book of videos at Blockbuster and other video chains. Some of you may remember this ancient technology.
The bonus of the job was that he got to go to the video rental conventions in Vegas. Straight to video B-movie and porn stars were everywhere.
When the company went under because Blockbuster wouldn’t pay for the physical books anymore, he ended up as the forwarding address for all the VHS tapes and DVDs that the studios would send out to the company for inclusion in the database. Up until then, I had believed German necro-GILF porn was just a myth… I still wish I did.
It got so bad that we had to start giving away crates of porn to “friends” just to get rid of it. I was dating at the time and had to insist that it all got stored in the garage until liquidation.
At some point I think imdb ended up with all of that data.
That’s hilarious. I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as good German porn unless you are a freak. I hope you recovered from your trauma.
I have probably spent months of my life listening to this particular hold music. Neph can relate, I’m sure.

Wow, THAT is a blast from the past.
Holy shit! I haven’t heard that name in probably 25 years.
Saw him at Orchestra Hall a million years ago. He was terrific.
Thanks for kicking loose some old memories, Pud!
I took a girlfriend to see him at Orchestra Hall in Chicago about 25-30 years ago. Everyone is dressed nice, and he came out with unkempt hair, jeans, a ratty shirt, and barefoot.
He was great. Made the girlfriend cry a couple times because it was so pretty. I still love the album Winter into Spring.
Shit, I think I might have those discs somewhere.
Exactly the same experience. I thought a homeless guy broke in!
He was legit.
I saw him in concert in Sedona. I also saw William Ackerman in Gallatin Gateway and that was a great show.
Good grief the Rangers suck.

Also very nice!
That was good.
That’s considered jazz?
/real question
If you have to ask, I couldn’t explain it too you. /sarc
But, in reality, the first one, John Zorn, is more Jazz than the second one I put up, the Lounge Lizards. And they are to jazz what hardcore is to punk; it sounds like what you have been told is jazz/punk, but in reality it isn’t.
In the end, though, just listen to shit if you like it, and who cares what it is called.
My music players do because I need everything tagged correctly to get the playlists I want, and I don’t want to have to build 75 different playlists by hand. I would like to queue it all up by genre and I can’t get that.
I have that problem too. I solved it by giving up and shuttling everything into one of five genres.
Anything can be porn music if you’re focused enough.

Two jobs ago, I had an asshole of a boss who was so neurotic, he was convinced no shrink in the greater Dayton area was competent to deal with his “issues.” (For reference, he was the only son in the family that owned the company.) Thus, he had a shrink in Chicago with whom he’d have therapy sessions by phone – my boss would shut the door of his office, put his feet up on his desk, and take his hour-long appointment.
For some reason, at some point he decided he needed an in-person appointment, so he set me the task of booking him a hotel room in Chicago….during the annual convention of the National Restaurant Association. (Can there possibly be a larger trade group anywhere??) I truly tried, but I had no luck. Finally, my boss got disgusted and said, “Fine! I’LL do it!” A little while later, I walked past his office, and he called out to me, “You’ll appreciate this. I’m on hold [presumably with his preferred travel agency,] and the hold music is “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
Do you sometimes get what you need?
Yes, but not nearly as often as I would prefer.
He sounds charming.
Poseur. People with REAL issues get shrinks from Vienna.
He didn’t really have issues so much as he had a lifetime subscription.
Hold music annoyances besides the actual music: first, when the cycle is too short so whatever it is repeats too many times before you actually get off hold. I don’t care how good the piece is, if you force me to listen to a 3 min snippet fifty times I will hate it by the time I hang up.
Second is when there’s a break in the recording so there’s that hope “they’re picking up!’ and it’s just a vicious lie. And I fall for it every damn time.
I’m right there with you, sis.
That false hope break is almost always a “your call is important to us” recording, isn’t it?
GRRRRRRRRR yes
Though there’s one customer service I have to call occasionally which is the worst : there’s a crackle and then a silent pause, and then … the music comes back. [ATHENA THROWS PHONE]
Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold.
I couldn’t have timed that better

Yeah, assuming they’re not completely bulshitting us with their numbers, that’s a pretty strong case for massive coordinated vote fraud.
Of course, D’Souza had to end it with “get involved! Fix this by voting harder!” ????
You can’t outvote fraud, you have to round up the perpetrators and prosecute, or execute if the levers of power are aligned with the fraud.
D’Souza is guy with some interesting things to say plus a zillion ways to make me not want to listen to anything he has to say.

I also think he left for crazy town a few years ago.
He found that indulging the most conspiratorial storylines was more lucrative.
He strikes me as a grifter, even when he touches on the truth.
Mostly style, very little substance. A flim flam man.
That said, assuming they weren’t grossly misleading or outright lying with their numbers, the scale of the fraud was stupendous.
See directly above. He is likely lying or has very poor sources.
I’m trying to write up a submission on my IPhone and formatting it is a nightmare on WP. Suppose I could bring my laptop. Is there an easier way that WP project space for doing this on an IPhone? Mostly just pictures with captions.

I’m at a local Pahrump dive bar, chit chatting with the bartendress, whom we love.
Then a guy comes in and starts playing the slot machines. He won $15,000!!! The bartender had to call the manager to figure out how to handle the transaction. They’ve never had that kind of payout here.
Dude is thrilled; he had just bought a new motorcycle and was worried about whether that was the right call.

Good morning, homey & Sean! Not much going on today – probably give final approval to payroll, probably finishing the payroll setup of three new hires.
I should finally get the more ergonomic mouse pad/wrist rest to go with my more ergonomic keyboard tray! My life is a thrill ride! ?
Morning, GT
Good morning, U! How are you today?
I don’t know yet. I didn’t do what I was supposed to yesterday and I’m past the deadlines.
Does anyone REALLY observe deadlines in your workplace? I routinely send out forms that need to be returned, and I can always count on having plenty of late stragglers.
I don’t want to get hassled by everyone.
Yesterday I kept looking at lighted magnifiers, but it seems to be impossible to find one that is A: decent quality, B: made in the USA, C: fit for purpose and D: not ruinously expensive.
I can’t abandon conditions C or D, and both A and B appear to be rare in of themselves.
? I was afraid that might be the case. The few free-standing Made in the USA ones I saw on the website I linked didn’t seem to be designed for sticking your hands under them holding whatever you’re working on.

Good morning, ‘patzie! Sorry about the mask thing and about having to venture into the evil urban jungle. Did they specify which part of your face had to be covered?
They did not. I will be wearing a hat, however. The things in my head are far more dangerous than a merge virus.
With the right hat, a Zorro mask might be quite dashing.
Morning all,
One cup down and everything looks brighter, in spite of the overcast.
I can do a visual on the bee hives from where I’m at and happy to see they are still all together, as they are supposed to be. Even with an electric fence I’m such a worry wart I have to look out the window several times a day to reassure myself.
I had to wear a mask yesterday to get my glasses refitted, I needed the glasses worse and my tongue still hurts from all the biting but “Rules are Rules”, even when they are meaningless.
Greetings, program.
Mere virus, although in my line of work a merge virus would be interesting.
Curses, chumped again!

Wait, what?
It’s a primordial contrarian.
“You don’t need to go multicellular to get macroscopic!”
Do eggs count as single-celled organisms? ‘Cause I’ve seen eggs way bigger than that.
I wouldn’t count them as such because they grow into multicellular organisms, rather than having a unicellular lifestyle.
Kill it! ?

“The end goal of this would be to rationally design vaccines that can recognize many different coronaviruses,” said study co-author Sandhya Bangaru, a postdoctoral research associate.
Oh, joy. Another mandatory jab is coming.
The jabbings will continue until subservience improves.
Nope.
The kid in the car getting swabbed is criminal. What have we become?
Good Morning:
Still no word on our Religious Exemptions. I guess its still a thing….
In other good news, our mini cow gave birth to a baby girl. About the size of a dog.
both look ok, it was a surprise to us as we thought it would not be born for another month.
Baby sheep in the office is getting kinda destructive, and needs to be moved out. Problem is the dogs view her a the perfect chew toy.
A fun story, Saturday, a lady drives up our roadway to say there was a large dog with a bucket on its head in our pasture…..and that she was not crazy….
One of the grazing sheep got her head stuck in a corn sack, and was lost. She was most upset to find out she was far from the flock when i removed the bag.
So, random lady can’t tell a sheep from a dog or a bag from a bucket?
negative modifier on spot check due to distance and size…..
glad she came buy, sheep could have ended on the road.
Fair enough.
Week of “meh” continues
