High Tones?

I need to keep my cell phone off at work (although sometimes I leave it on vibrate if I'm expecting an important call). A few people had cell phones when I got out of high school, but mostly just car phones if anything. Lots of places make cell phone use forbidden; in school, movies,etc. Well it looks like a cellphone ring tone has been created to get past this issue. It's based on an invention called the Mosquito, developed last year by a Welsh security company. The ring emits noise at such a high pitch that most adults aren't able to hear it, just kids? I can hear it can you?

Holy shit can i hear it. It almost made me buckle over.

I don't get the point of these. You already brought up the answer McBlog, you put it on vibrate. Stupid people and their stupid inventions. At least that may be one less version of Kid Rock's "Like A Cowboy" when someone gets a call in the movie theatre.

It's my favorite noise ever.

Pat-
I'm confused is the Mosquito your favorite noise ever? Or Kid Rock's Like a Cowboy?

Also, a little birdie told be you HATE Beck. Can this be true? I recall a few afternoons listening to Mutations and Sea Chnages and it didn't bother you then.

wow that is annoying.

I was referring to the cell phone frequency. I hurt my ears.

I don't like Beck. I've tried, pretty hard might I add, but when it comes down to it, I think he's a douche.

Steppenwolf...I can hear it, on a sidenote, when are you making the trip back into the Miltown?

Stephen said...

AY-
No time soon. Looks like Summerfest is out. Come to MPLS, come to Stephen-county.

Pat,

A little birdie also told me you don't like the Pixies. But here's the twist: that birdie...WAS YOU.
