The Clapper. My ex's grandmother bought one for us. When we watched war movies the lights would go on and off during the battle scenes.

Doesn't sound so bad, free atmospheric effects? :tongue:

GASP! Sacrilege! I'm calling SPEBSQSA and reporting you!

Having sung in one barber shop quartet, it's some of the most difficult singing to keep in tune and together. The harmonies are so tight that anything out of line quickly spirals the whole thing out of control.

Codpieces

Codpieces...well I'll agree certain codpieces are annoying, but others are definitely sexy, delectable, enticing, alluring, intriguing and horny!

I'm gonna have to go with:

religion: Seems to cause more death and disagreement then anything
Heelys: Just wtf man ( I see little kids with them in the mall and wanna trip them)
Push Button Start for cars: How lazy are we getting...?

Leaf blowers aka the soundtrack of suburban life in southern California.

Few things chafe my ass quite so much as telephone routing systems....press 1 to wait, press 2 to wait and then get cut off....

I especially hate ones where "to improve our service....." they make you enter your account details, then when you finally speak to someone, usually about 75 years later what's the first thing they ask for?....your account details.

And the hand of God :biggrin1:

It's part of the national tradition, we even continue the hand of God to the rest of the body: look at this!

 

[Lordpendragon]

I wonder what noise the commentator makes when he comes?

 

[D_Kay_Sarah_Sarah]

1) The alarm clock

2) 5 day working week

Leaf blowers aka the soundtrack of suburban life in southern California.

Yah, I'd have to second that nomination. The gas powered leaf blower represents just about everything that's wrong with America.

I'd add a few of my own:

* Styrofoam fast food containers and plastic shopping baggies (both are draped everywhere around the landscape).

* Jet-skis (er, I mean, personal watercraft, the noisy fucking nuisances)

* Quad-runners (also known as widow makers, the noisy fucking landscape-trashing nuisances that allow beer swilling overweight rednecks access to remote spots they should dammned well use their feet to see).

* News helicopters (just got to rapidly sensationalize every minor traffic backup).

* Mass produced American beers (those preservative laden, hangover-producing national embarrasments in garish cans and bottles).

* Talk radio.

* Telemarketing.

* America On Line.

* Credit cards (excessive personal debt will probably be the cause of the next major economic meltdown).

* USA Today (informational content that is the equivalent of fast food's nutritional content)

* Cigarettes (need I describe the horrors these have visited on mankind?).

I quite agree SpeedoGuy. Will you marry me?
My favorite towns in Northern California are Eureka and Redding. Are you anywhere near there? :wink:

I grew up in the Napa Valley wine country but I lived in Redding for four years after college before moving north to Oregon. Redding was certainly not much of a cultural attraction but, but, for anyone who enjoyed the outdoors, it was a fabulous place. There were 7 national forests, two national parks, high mountains, wild rivers, lakes, and all manner of outdoor delights. I lived on my skis in the winter and my mountain bike in the summer.

Insanely enough, also the best.

1. cell phones

2. remote control for car stereo, all people need to do is just reach up at the stereo to change the station or whatever instead of fumbling around to find the worthless remote control.

3. remote control for your car doors, just get the damn key out and turn it.

4. roomba, people just need to get off their lazy ass and move the vacuum yourself.

5. remote control ceiling fans.
