Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for August 03, 2014

On my phone, calls are under “beep” (which sounds like a regular phone ring) and messages “message tone 3.”

“Sound Advice”“Not So Special FX”“Cookin’ Up Trouble”“Bip Bop Popcorn”“Cell Mates”“Synchronized Swimming”or“Don’t Be Alarmed”

Many moons ago, I made new wav files to replace all my AOL default sounds., and people used to exchange the more interesting ones in the chat rooms of the day.It was very creative.I even had the sound of a two-stroke engine starting for when my PC was booting up.

@ Flowergirl:

Sorry about that!! Left you one yesterday (to explain)…….

Remember when cell phone tones playing a tune was “novel” for the time? And now, you’ve got all kinds of special sounds… though many of us are content with just the 80 sounds that come with the phone, LOL!

“Brought to you” by…the new R2-D2 phone…..from Plotz’ Devices..and by…MMM Pop! brand popcorn…. from Hanson Foods…..

Is this dialog just a test of how much the syndicate’s censors will let you get away with?

I’ve been meaning to change my whoosh for texts because my (very popular) son uses it for his texts. When he walks in the room, I start hearing whooshes like crazy and think it’s my phone until I realize they’re all for him of course.

“Oh, THAT bip

Oh, my, how ribald! Tee-Hee!

No, she uses a rabbit.

So does Nancy use the “Dong”? I’m pretty sure that Knute uses the “Bong”.

" . . . it is the old fashioned telephone bell."

I love that one! I had it for a while, but too many other people use it, so I had to change it. The problem is, I’m deaf in one ear so I can’t tell where sounds are coming from, so it was confusing for me when I’d hear other phones with that ringtone and I would think it was mine.

I have a landline phone. It rings. Problem avoided. KISS!

Since I kind of hate cell phone alerts, I recorded myself sighing and use that. The ring tone, however, is Ghostbusters. Though I don’t hear it much because I only give people my landline number (which just rings).

“REAL” Phones RING!

……, And They Have DIALS!!!!

And you CAN’T carry them around with you! Thank Gawd forsmall blessings!

Bipping??!! Who in blazes says bipping instead of beeping?

And while this is happening TJ’s van is still burning!

My message says ‘Hello Darling’ in Mark Shepard’s husky voice

My phono vibrate cause I’m deaf.

Ha-ha!!!

No. Frank uses his doink to tinkle and you use the dong when he’s away on business trips

This family would be the perfect target for an Annoyatron.

My favorite is sitting in a meeting at work when someone’s cell phone goes off for anything at all and everyone reaches for theirs.

My ringtone is a clip from the cartoon Regular Show of Mordecai and Rigby chanting ‘We know you’re home, Skip! Pick up the phone, Skip!" over and over and over.

My wife had an assigned ringtone for our daughter of her saying, “Mom! Mom? Mom!”, which repeated after a short pause. During a visit to the physical therapist, my wife was involved in getting manipulated, the daughter called, and one of the techs ended up shouting into the wife’s purse, “She’s in a treatment right now!”

Does anyone use the Twilight Zone theme as a ringtone?

On my phone calls are a ring, messages a beep. Everything else isn’t worth a sound.

Oh, I want that.Just like I want a car alarm that plays The Beatles’ “Help” at high volume.

I was watching part of an (unmemorable) sy-fy movie the other day and they played a background sound effect that was just like the ringer on my AT&T phone, the handset of which was, of course, in the next room.After checking for the call and finding none had come in, I rewound the DVR ro where I’d left the room and there it was AGAIN!Good thing I was carrying the phone at this point, so I wasn’t fooled a second time.

Why is Luann there? I was out of the house 2-weeks after graduating high school.

There is no mistaking my phone….it’s an old Thunderbolt fire siren….at least no one else looks at their phone when mine rings…or perhaps sounds is a better word.

@Meh~thodologydidn’t The Who sing about that?-———————————————It would be nice if you would “quote” whatever you’re referencing.

All my ringtones are Beethoven. I always know when it’s my phone.

““so I wasn’t fooled a second time.” ".We won’t get fooled again?.including"“Pick up my guitar and play just like yesterdayThen I’ll get on my knees and prayWe don’t get fooled again, don’t get fooled again, no no no no noDon’t get fooled again

YeahMeet the new bossSame as the old boss"

Shared via Facebook. So funny.

That was an extremely depressing episode.

Well, then, from you, I’ll take that as a compliment! :-)

Only if they are Jewish watches.

“Mine also gives the option of doing the “English/England” ring – ring bell. If your phone offers that, maybe it might work for you.”

Good idea, I’ll check it out :)

“. . . When my computers boot up, here is what it sounds like.”

Oh, that is cool!

oh, she uses the dong . . . .

I think my head just exploded.

Yep, Nixon was quite inspirational

Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo(p)Put ’em together and what have you got bibbidi-bobbidi-boo(p)

On my phone, I use the ringtone listed as “classic.” It sounds like a telephone!

I sure hope tomorrow’s episode continues the escapades of TJ and his exploding truck!

“Almost like Shipoopi, but spelled sideways. Sort of…”-———-Disney’s “Cinderella” (1950) predates the Broadway show of “The Music Man” (1957)

So many phones, so little chimes… =-O

Re: “THX” sound when booting up computers: that is one fantastic audio file!!! ;)

I think I dropped my cell phone one too many times…has lousy reception at the receiver’s phone. All scrambled up and such. My current cell is just your basic phone, no texting (although it Can receive them) or special stuff. Just a “Plain Jane.” Now I have to make a decision to see if I should just get another “Plain Jane” one, or should I squeeze my eyes (and wallet) open and buy a smartphone? (I don’t like phones that are smarter than I am!). Decisions, decisions… =-O
