This just interrupted my viewing of Independence day. The worst part is I paused the DVR and the EBS made it jump to real time. %@$&

 

[PIK95]

sound of my mom whipping me with orange hot wheels track.

THAT, I don't miss. Grey was better to get hit with as long as the plastic didn't split. It was cheaper and lighter if I remember right.

 

[PIK95]

Boots on the ground. People outside hanging out in general. It's wicked quiet around the neighborhood now. It's been years since I heard glass shatter from a ball.

Years ago I worked for a company that made printers. When we were starting with ink jet we had a couple of beta sites. The feedback from one user was that they missed being able to tell when their print job was done because it wasn't loud like an impact printer.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Wasn’t there a louder, angrier and faster busy signal when you left the phone off the hook for too long?

 

[FairWarning]

I live by a nuclear plant. The siren is tested on the first Saturday of the month.
