Long musing about sounds

Dec 31, 2003 22 Replies

The gentle gurgle of a baby horking up, and the drip, drip, drip of the stuff running down your back.

The snap and crack of a piece coming apart and then whapping you in the face shield.

The swoosh of a trebuchet pouch that lost its load at the wrong part of the stroke.

The hoot of an owl when you're lost in the woods on a moonless night.

The slap and crash of SWMBO finding out how much you just spent on lathe tools.

The pop of a light bulb shattering when struck by an errant bit of spinning wood.

The splash of realizing you just knocked over your pee bucket.

The heartwrenching sound of your daughter telling you what she just got pierced.

I don't wish this stuff on anybody. :)

That sound of a good 3 minute fart. The grunting sound folks make in an elevator after one of those silent ones.... that really stink!

good sound the "bong" of my computer actually starting up without too much assistance

bad sound: whirrrl crunch of a nice bowl spinning off the lathe and smashing because you didnt screw the plate on tight enough when you remounted for finishing.
