I agree. Whatever makes Dick giggle is a good thing, since he does most of the work. I don't much care whether the fart sounds continue or not. I fart sometimes. It's okay. Do you really know engineers who would think poorly of you for recommending a tech podcast that contains fart jokes? Even CNET's podcasts have some off-color humor in them. In addition to the Java Posse, I wholeheartedly recommend the yayQuery podcast to web front-end programmers, even though yayQuery is filled with lots of cursing and silly songs about unicorns and rainbows. Those are the funny bits. The rest of the show is how I learn better JavaScript. The funny bits make the learning more memorable. That said, if the farting ever gets old I suggest They Might Be Giants' song "Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)" as a random crap jingle. I just think it sounds random and funny. Pretty much any They Might Be Giants song would seem random enough to fit the bill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
