Most doorbells are so BORING nowadays. Why not liven up the action with TheFartKnocker? Your door will be the conversation piece of the neighborhood!
"Hey, Jimmy! Did you hear Bob's new door?"
"Uh...no...Should I have?"
"YEAH! It sounds like someone breaking wind!"
"AWESOME! LET'S
TRY IT OUT RIGHT NOW!!!"
And so the parade of neighbors to your humble abode begins!
don't know who Bob is but he has a recordable one

Not the same thing, but one of those ideas I can't believe no one on the Halfbakery thought of. [pottedstu, Jun 03 2002, last modified Oct 04 2004]

this *has* to be baked - not in our dignified country though (thats England [sctld] ) |
|
| |
Um...Dignified? YOU wanted to be Dipsy! Yikes... |
|
| |
Be sure it rings "Ding-Poot" and not accidentally "Ding-Dung". |
|
| |
PO: Not to start a flame-war, but you really were asking for it... |
|
| |
Ah, fond memories. This reminds me of my happy childhood days in DIY stores where me and my sister would spend many hours repeatedly trying out all the doorbells on display. |
|
| |
you a scot too gb? (f.o.j.) |
|
| |
can you alter the sound depending on your gastrointestinal mood? some chirpy, semi-dignified little toots one day, big juicy whoppers the next.... |
|
| |
I would contest that mfd. This is not a pun. There is a valid idea here, and you not liking silly fart humour isn't enough of a reason to constitute an mfd, I'm afraid. |
|
| |
I modified my doobell (actually a video intercom) so that it plays the opening bars of "The Imperial March" from Star Wars ....... I couldn't find a programmable doorbell anywhere so I had to build one. |
|
| |
I think that this is a valid idea, so sorry BinaryCookies but I also have to dispute your MFD, and I will award a croissant. After all, it doesn't have to make a farting noise (which is admittedly childish, but also funny to those who have had their sense of humour surgically excised). |
|
| |
A doorbell you can download .WAV files into via (say) 802.11b would be good. |
|
| |
Fart doorknocker! That made me laugh! But what if
someone knocked on their door and inside someone
wondered who did the fart? That is one of the problems
that you would have to overcome initially. But that idea
deserves a croissant. |
|
| |
no longer can you blame it on the dog but the door |
|

Does the name of this invention come from "Beavis & Butthead"? I seem to remember Butthead would call Beavis this name on a regular basis... |
