I know we're all concerned about security at the moment. So you can imagine my consternation as I just got a rather... disturbing phone call.
Here is the transcript:
Me: ...This is Danilo.
Caller: Are you sure it is not... EEnuh-bran?
Me: Well, I suppose it may be but it would be a lot more dramatic if you'd pronounced the name correctly.
Caller: ...
Me: Yes, hello?
Caller: How do you pronounce it, then?
Me: Emphasis on the second syllable. Ee-NAH-brun.
Caller: Really?
Me: Oh, yes.
Caller: Because this whole time I've been saying it the other way in my head.
Me: Yeah, I get that sometimes.
Caller: I bet.
Me: So I guess you're the one who compromised the Linden customer database?
Caller: No... No, I don't know enough about IPS numbers and the other stuff to do all that. I was given your number through other means.
Me: Did you say... IPS? Yes, yes of course. So what is it you want?
Caller: ...Want?
Me: Well, I'm sure there's some reason you called.
Caller: ...
Me: ...Yes, hello?
Caller: OH! Right, yes, I'm sorry, let me just get my list here...
Me: All right.
Caller: ...Yes, here it is. I wanted to call and tell you...
(there is the sound of leafing through papers at this point in the recording)
Me: Listen, I'm kind of the middle of cooking a--
Caller: Here, I've got it right here. I wanted to tell you that you're a nasty, vile, tekki-wiki bastard and you and your kind are--
At which point I hung up the phone because it sounded like something I'd heard before, long ago. Looks like this didn't have anything to do with the recent breach, but the internet is creepy nonetheless.
edit:
All right, I digitized the call for your enjoyment:

haw Actually, on that subject, I wish I had a jar of mushrooms for an omellette right about now. Or sausage. Or both! You know what? I have about nine inches of Polish sausage in the fridge right now, and some eggs, and I've been wondering what I'm going to have for supper. I also have some onions and chillies, but that's about it. I could probably use the onions in an omelette, I'm just wondering whether the chillies would spoil the taste. |

Green chile omelettes are a popular meal in the southwest, so I certainly know that that group of veggies is more than compatible with egg. Dice 'em up and throw that in, yo. _____________________

I got confused trying to follow who was saying what and thought the caller was in the middle of cooking and was stalking you for your culinary expertise.  _____________________

Wait, it's "Ee-NAH-brun"?
I always thought it was "EH-nuh-bran." Damn. Now I'm saying it over and over in my head, trying to get it right. Curse you.  _____________________

I believe you can call your Phone Company or Cell Phone people and have the line traced (I hope) (Cell Phones from what I have heard, Automatically keep a log of who called at the Cell Phone Company level that is ) and have the idoit arrested.

Wait, it's "Ee-NAH-brun"? I always thought it was "EH-nuh-bran." Frankly, I think we have enough momentum that you should change to match us.  _____________________
