The following conversation took place between Shaun and Jamie Thom in the Physics building, a place where Shaun is wont to hang out and play MUDs. (Transcript by Jamie himself, so don't blame me for any mistakes.
| Shaun: | Hi, Jamie. |
|---|---|
| Jamie: | Shaun. (Curt and hopefully "I cant be bothered just now" expression) |
| Shaun: | What are you looking at? |
| Jamie: | My string quartet page I'm writing. (Feverish burst of typing to simulate business and have-better-things-to-do-ness) |
| Shaun: | Do you play pop or classical music? |
| Jamie: | (Withering glance) Classical. |
| Shaun: | Don't know much myself, I like the one that goes [Dum dala DUM DUM, Dum dala DUM DUM...] |
| Jamie: | Wagner, Call of the Valkiries |
| Shaun: | yeah, that's the one and one about a bee... I think. |
| Jamie: | ? |
| Shaun: | You know [Dooohoohoohoooohlaaaah dumalumalumalumaladumala..] |
| Jamie: | Flight of the Bumble Bee? |
| Shaun: | Yep, knew it had to do with bees. |
| Jamie: | Shaun, you are a philistine. |
| Shaun: | A what? |
