One of the nice things about my new phone is that I don’t have to buy ringtones anymore, I can make my own from MP3s. So I got to thinking about what ringtones I wanted for my main contacts. judiang was actually online when I started my quest and when I asked which song from my collection she thought should be her ringtone, she chose “Linus and Lucy.” Gee, pick a quiet one, why don’t you? 😉 Still, I upped the volume on it and it’s set as her ringtone. Some folks were easy to pick for, others not so much. I knew that Amy’s ringtone had to be a Heart tune, so I picked “Crazy on You.” Dad’s got the Muppet Show theme. It was another day before I’d decided that mom’s should be “The Mississippi Squirrel Revival.”
Later I got to thinking, what would I like my ringtone to be for other people? Should I go for something whimsical like the Sesame Street theme, or something that expresses one of my favorite things, like the Pink Panther theme? Or do I pick music from one of my favorite groups like Chumbawamba (“Just Deserts”)? My default ringtone I think will be excellent for getting my attention (MacKeel’s “Star of the County Down”) so maybe I want my ringtone for others to be equally attention grabbing. It’s a heady decision when you think about it.
I’m sensing a theme in these responses. (:
This is what I use on my phone: Default ring tone: “Doctor Who” theme (Eccleston era – Murray Gold) Mum: “Torchwood” theme Sister: “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes Wife: Imperial March theme from “The Empire Strikes Back” In December, I change my default ring tone to “Jingle Bells” as sung by Robert Goulet on “The Simpsons”. (“Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg…”)
Wife: Imperial March theme from “The Empire Strikes Back” *snicker* :p
I’m too lazy to have different ringtones for different people :p Ringtone: Slip In Elecktrokid. Used to be the Axewound song, but I kept getting funny looks, so… Alarm: GTA Vice City themetune Text Message: GTA 3 pager
My sis-in-law suggested “Baby Got Back” as her own ringtone. I laughed and said “Yup, I’ve got that song.” But then I wondered if she’d prefer “Fat-Bottomed Girls” instead. (Also in my collection.) She replied with a quiet “yes” apparently. Heh.
There is a mahjongg for Xp. I had it on CD. I can’t recall the name right now however. I’m looking for one on the mac. I’d love to find people t play with in person again tho. my mahjongg set is gathering dust (which I guess just gave away the answer.. so shhh don’t tell 😉 and why do I have the feeling I may have done this kind of poll before *eyes peoples answers.. *
Ah, I’d love to have a Mah Jongg set. Things just haven’t manifested such that I’ve gotten one. Someday, perhaps. 🙂 Of course then I’ll be in the same bind as you – will need someone to play it with. Hell, I’d like to play it in person sometime myself – only ever played it on the PC. As for my poll, I keep being wishy washy on what I’d like to have as my ringtone to others. Today it’s “Mama Bee” by Neil Innes. Heh.
It is much better in person. =) I happen to have two mahjong sets. one (my personal fav) is a travel set (it just doesn’t have the trays) The other is in case and has all sorts of stuff. I don’t think I’ve used the larger set yet. You, Judi, and Elsa should play next time your together. =) I’m still looking for the pc version I had – it was quite good. I’m not finding a like version for the mac side – yet. What is the ringtone today? =)
thank you, man
