winning by losing
back in my stoner days, i liked to sleep late in the day and stay up till about 6 a.m.
this meant i was stoned and stuck with a choice of cartoon network or classic f.m, both excellent for the monged mind.
one particular night, i was listening to classic f.m, waiting for Night on Bald Mountain, a favourite of mine. as i waited, the announcer asked the night's quiz question, which was something about darts players.
"ooo, i know this one!" i thought, so i emailed my reply. as soon as i'd sent the email, i realised i hadn't given my details, just the answer. i sent a second email, apologising for not adding my details to the first and, of course, making sure i added them to that one.
half an hour later(still no bloody Mussorgsky), the announcer gave the correct answer, which wasn't the one i'd given. then, he announced the winner.
it was me! how the hell did that happen? i'd fucked up my email, given the wrong answer, yet still i'd won! the only reason i could come up with was that i was the only fucker replying to a quiz on classic f.m at 4 in the morning.
i've still got those c.d's, though.

T'is one of my favourites as well,
it's surprising how many films and TV programs it's turned up in.

a bit cliche though
And not by Dvorak either.
If you want cliche to the point of braindead, then Vivaldi on any program featuring a stately house.

you're right, of course
for some reason, i always confuse Mussorgsky with Dvorak

It's not worthy for me to post,
but a year ago I was up at 5am due to insomnia and was listening to my friends radio show. Decided to call in for a shout out to my fishing team and texted my friend when I was on hold.
He then announced the next female caller would get a prize. I got shitloads of passes to lakes and sea fishing landings, as well as a bunch of powerbait (fake bait but it works well)
