Why hasn't it turned into a thread where people talk about whether or not the moon landing was faked?

Because it wasn't?

I find that the worst part of the strip, really, that a cartoon cat such as Emeril could subscribe to such nonsense.

Besides, I see Lyle being more of a Wild Bill Cooper, "Behold a Pale hoss" kind of guy. That, or he likes Richard Hoagland.

Further irony is found in Lyle's profound kookism, and its association with Pat's love of Noam Chomsky, et al. I am relatively confident that one day they will agree on something, and then kill one another in an orgy of conspiratorial violence. Pat will be the only cartoon cat who is not allowed to leave Hell, and will be forced to watch hetero porn while eating only beef for the rest of his days eternity, since he's already dead.

I'll show you mine if you show me first?

Mine isn't a song, so I could only wait helplessly for someone else to start it.  (Mine is a recording of my dog barking.)

Mine is currently the ring of the phones from "24" last season.

Boop boop, BA-doom.

Very pleasant sounding and it's unique enough that it sounds like MY phone when it rings.

Prior to that I had Flint's phone from "Our Man Flint" for the longest time.

I like a phone to sound like a phone ringing.

I like a phone to sound like a phone ringing.

Word, but it's tough to resist when you find Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time as a midi.

If I had any idea how to set a custom ringtone on my phone it would probably be the distinctive whistle of the communicators from the original Star Trek. As it is I do not know what my ring noise  is. I didn't really like any of them, so I picked one out of necessity and then set it to vibrate the first day I got it, and have had it so set since.

For unknown calls it is the theme from the Exorcist.

For known calls it's Paranoid Android by Radiohead.

I suspect this makes me look fairly neurotic which.. probably isn't too far off at this point.

I'm using EBN - Interruption (RealPlayer Windows Media) as my ringtone when I'm in the office.   It's subtle enough and can be heard, but most people ignore it.   Also: Analog television channel sounds, are retro-fun, but not stupid like meshback hats.

Otherwise, when I'm out and about, the music from Bubble Bobble.  I will always dump a couple quarters in a Bubble Bobble machine, should I come across it in the wild.

I've never seen a Bubble Bobble machine! It was one of 3 NES games we had growing up - I haven't beaten it to this day.

[Drygioni]

Oh Bondage! Up Yours! by X Ray Spex, looping the screaming/1234! at the beginning and the ensuing drum roll.

Or it would be, if I needed a phone.

[smick]

Hahah, As a sad, lonely child, I was angered to learn that you can't receive the "True" ending of Bubble Bobble on the NES without a second player in the game.   

I had to draft someone to jump around and not die while I beat the boss monster.

It's the same music as the NES version...that music that bores into your soul.

On the Freeview-Preview:  I thought England had more mobile phones than they had citizens.   How is it you're not sending an SMS to someone right now?

One time I was hanging out in a hotel lobby where a bunch of equally-dorky friends and I were staying, doing.. something. I think I was waiting. Anyway, I started idly humming the main melody of the Bubble Bobble theme (it had been stuck in my head and I hum when I'm bored). Unprompted, one of my friends began doing the "secondary" track (not exactly harmony, but the appropriate whatever.) We made it through a cycle or two of the theme. Then we stopped at the same time and one of us ate a hard-boiled egg.

It was pretty neat. The noob got a TCoDP for making me think of it.

[pmcd9]

Fine. Fiiiine. You can be right.

Well only if I am.  Otherwise you are totally going to rub my face in it.

I don't have a cell phone yet, but a friend of mine had The Flaming Lips's "Race For the Prize (Sacrifice of the New Scientists)" as his ringtone for a while. It's such a great idea that I may have to steal it, particularly given that I plan to be an earnestly self-sacrificing new scientist next year.

I have several sounds from Star Trek loaded on my phone - I tend to swap between them when I get bored.  Currently my ring from known callers is one of the TNG sounds, and from unknown callers it is a recording of an old-style dial phone.

I once went through my mp3s and selected a bunch to edit for inclusion in the phone rotation, but never bothered editing them.

I love the fact that linux geeks know how to get any file on my phone for free.  Paying someone else to do that would be ludicrous.
