Quick Question For Avid CSPAN Watchers.
Be honest:

Have you ever had CSPAN turned up on the TV in the background while browsing DU, found yourself getting zoned out on DU while the TV goes completely silent for awhile as the House is recording votes, only to then literally get the living shit scared out of you when out of nowhere the speaker comes back on and starts talking, thereby breaking you abruptly from your DU induced haze?

Just happened. Zoned out like a motherfucker. Total silence. Boom, all of a sudden some announcer thundering over my shoulder. Jumped out of my goddamn skin!

1. Yep
I love to crank up the volume almost as high as it will go during breaks; I like to listen to the conversations on the floor.

2. During the quorum calls
I like to watch who's talking to who and the mingling going on. I also like the classical music. This type of thing happens to me a lot. I guess I am a true CSPAN addict.

Many times....damn near had to change my knickers afterwards.

Always glad to know I'm not the only one.

Cheers :toast:
