My Dads phone "bloops". It drives me nuts. I actually set it up to do that, though. He required some sort of response when he hits a "button" when he first got a smart phone. For someone who is less than technologically savvy, it can help.  =| However, I've been thinking of de "blooping" his phone, since I think he may have reached the point where it is not necessary anymore.

*expletive deleted*ing bloop bloop bloop drives me crazy sometimes.  [ar15]

My wife does that with her iPhone and it drives me nuts.  Just like the 'bloop' noise it makes every time she receives a text.

It's a free country, I can make all the noise I want with my phone in public places. You don't have the right to kill me, so bugger off.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

For my mother-in-law?

Yes, she is and yes, that IS the ringtone we use.
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

For a certain boss-lady, a co-worker and I had the wicked witch's theme from The Wizard of Oz. She took it in stride.  :laugh:

The only consistent ring tone I've ever had for someone (and I don't have it right now, but I should fix that) is the one for Dad.


Beat on the Brat. He picked it.

I don't have one for mom. If I did, I'd get caught and then I'd get in trouble. So I just avoid the temptation.

Used to have a scream for my mom.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

My work phone has the theme from The Sopranos as the ring tone.

I don't have a different ring tone for the wife, but Voldemort's picture does pop up.
Liberals believe that a woman, found raped and strangled with her own pantyhose is morally superior to a women with a dead rapist at her feet and a gun in her hands.

I've been thinking about recording an mp3 of someone (me) saying, "Hey, dummy! Answer the damn phone!" and using that as a ring tone.

If she was that close to you to hear it, why didn't she just communicate FTF?
