Thought this was a funny prank to play on somebody. It reminds me of something I did a few years ago - you know that *thunk* sound your computer makes when it's stopping you from doing what you want to do, well, my wife gets angry and frustrated enough with that sound as it is, so I thought it would be funny to replace the default sound on her computer with one of that kid from The Simpsons who shouts, "Haa-haa!" So now, instead of that annoying *thunk* sound, the computer mocks her  :grin:

Twice the reaction in half the time now. I call that a result :afro: Here's the sound - http://www.tk421.net/gallery/sounds/haha.wav and here's a page with a load more sound clips - http://www.tk421.net/gallery/sounds/

Anyhoo, this is a vid along the same lines:

Planning is an unnatural process - it is much more fun to do something.  The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression. [Sir John Harvey-Jones]

Heh... that "Haa-haa!" sound is getting a bit old, now. I think I might replace it with this one - http://www.tk421.net/gallery/sounds/numnuts.wav

My computer logs-off with Tina, the psychokinetic teen from Friday the 13th Part 7, shouting "You bastard!"  :grin: I changed my parents sounds on their laptop ages ago to farmyard animals and they had no idea what was happening :D

Stay in touch! I don't mean that in a pervy way.

When I click that link, I get a white page with "No bandwidth theft!" in small red text in the upper left hand corner.

Way funny. I love the way he looks out the window to see where the gunfire is coming from. :grin:
Some may say slaughtered is too strong a word...but I like the sound of it.

Ah, damn - the site must be hosted on one of those free hosts. The last sound is the gunnery sergeant from Full Metal Jacket yelling, "WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS?!?!"

I've attached the sound if you want to hear it:
