For all you drummers out there, a clock that ticks with the sound of a drum, and then chimes each hour with a different drum solo, chosen by the clock's owner so they can recognise which solo is which hour. Not to be used any where near bedrooms, or any room in which you intend to be sane for any length
of time.

//Not to be used any where near bedrooms, or any room in which you intend to be sane for any length of time// I have the same issue with regular ticking clocks. They annoy incessently until I either take their batteries out, or break them mercilessly. |
|
| |
Could you possibly say that they wound you up? Or made you a bit cuckoo? Or would you slap me for those awful puns? You're going to slap me aren't you? |
|
| |
I'll slap you if you keep using bloody question marks all the time. |
|
| |
be fair, he only uses one at a time, he is not the type that will add a question mark for every one he needs in a paragraph. For exapmle:
//Could you possibly say that they wound you up? Or made you a bit cuckoo?? Or would you slap me for those awful puns??? You're going to slap me aren't you????//
That is something that would make me slap someone for. |
|
| |
True but it has a cumulative effect even when single ones are used. |
|
| |
Well you can't help but use question marks when what you are doing is asking questions. Maybe I could used full stops, then one oversized compound question mark at the end. But that would have been poor grammar, and even more annoying. |
|
| |
I s'pose you could stop asking questions... |
|
| |
What, forever? How could you possibly never ask a question ever again? See! I just asked two without even realising! Or did I? |
|
| |
//How could you possibly never ask a question ever again?// |
|
| |
Sit in a dentist's chair for eternity. With your mouth full of whatever-it-is they stick in there. |
|
| |
But then you'd never say anything again. And you'd never get to annoy [pooduck] again. |
|
| |
Perhaps [pooduck] should have simply told you to stop saying everything in the form of a question. And yes, for your information, I fully intend you to slap you at some point in the future. |
|
| |
Perhaps [pooduck] shouldn't put me in a position to ask questions then. And I'm sure fairly soon you can slap me. |
|
| |
par-baked, methinks. I have had a few of these. The first one just stopped working. The next spontaneously combusted in the middle of a solo... The last one I had died in a hotel room in LA, in very mysterious circumstances. All I can say is that it involved a lemon and a red snapper fish and _someones_ vomit. You can't dust for vomit, you see? |
|
| |
You started the incessant question mark use before my anno, [quaero]. |
|
| |
Have we lost track of the idea here? What was the idea anyway? Are question marks contagious? Drums-Tick [+]. |
|
| |
See! At least [wagster] agrees with my question mark use. Damn straight. I think it's about time all of our sentences ended with question marks, don't you? |
|
| |
//I think it's about time all of our sentences ended with question marks, don't you?// Talk to the average teenager, and you'd think they did. AQI. Grrrr. |
|
| |
Well I'm a teenager (For another 2 years, dammit), and I don't end all my sentences in question marks, do I? Oh wait... |
