"Welcome to The Cellar"

I keep seeing "the greeting committee" falling all over themselves to welcome new members, which is nice, but when I showed up here y'all were like "go away, other-website scum!" and "we hate you and everything you stand for!"...etc. So now y'all are all friendly and whatnot... (but I'm still gonna keep my machete taped under my chair).

First impressions are sometimes tough to live down. What was your first post, again?

Welcome to the Cellar, Flint!:p

Well, some people are clique-y. Tribal. Try not to take it personally and xoxoxobruce always tries v. hard to welcome new members, no matter how small :) so, just let it roll right over you.

PS I do recall that when the AG'ers all swooped down on the Cellar they were trying to re create the AG forum right away without any consideration for how the Cellar worked. that was really annoying...

Hi Flint, welcome to the Cellar! Stick around and post some more. I think you will find that you like it.

I guess it's true, at least in the Cellar, that size doesn't matter! This means we can all be "In Like Flint." :D

Hmm, down here its In like Flynn.

Coz Errol Flynn was a dirty rooter, and if you were "in like Flynn" you were sure to get laid, but then it got cleaned up a little and if you were "in like Flynn", it just meant its all good.

There was a movie "In Like Flint" wasnt there??

[SIZE="2"]Yes, Yes - I have no life on Saturday nite. I'm babysitting...its better for my internal organs.[/SIZE]

Yes, movie... two movies actually, like an exagerated James Bond.

Speaking of In Like Flint, I've been trying to find the ringtone of the red phone in that movie to use as a ringtone. Now that was a cool ring!

That movie is a sore spot with me. They showed it on TV in the pre-cable days and it was a big deal at the time (early 70s) - they hyped it for weeks prior and I was dying to see it. I was maybe 11 or 12 and did something stupid that week and got myself grounded so the whole family watched it while I had to stay in my room. 40+ years later, I'm still pissed about that.

I have a new found respect for you Beestie, I wish some day, I too can hold a grudge like you :p

Not really around to post much, but I do try and visit the IOTD daily, who and what are AG'ers?

Forumers from Audio Galaxy.

Thank you much Ashke.

You and everyone else. I did a Google search and even discarding the obvious fake generated hits "Buy a book on oblivated possum mullifacations:eyebrow:", there are a lot of people who are looking for or who have created tones for that ring.

I TOO have wanted that tone!

And the buzzy ring from "Brazil" to assign to annoying callers.

Loooong story, go back to about the third week in March and start reading....most any thread. :rolleyes:

Somewhat of a tangent, but a friend of mine assigned all their Windows event sounds to .WAVs of Hal 9000 . . .

The machete part was funny but you still think too much of yourself.

gawd grow up. And get that god damm quote off your profile ID.

I used one of them for a Windows event. I think it was the Critical Stop event that I tagged with: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

Well I can rent the movie and record the tone. How do I get from *.wav to a ringtone?

Another good one is: "This type of thing has happened before, Dave, and it's always been attributed to human error..."

In like Flint and Our man Flint were two spoofs of the James Bond genre.

James Coburn played Flint, the super-cool spy.

Yet Bond himself was a spoof - created by Ian Fleming in the late 50's, Bond was meant to satirise the cold war and the american obsession with orgranised crime (hence SPECTRE). It didn't work and Fleming was forced to create 'The man from U.N.C.L.E' as a spoof of a spoof, with THRUSH being the spoofed villain of a spoof villain......

In that case, "Get Smart" was a spoof of a spoof of a spoof!

Just so you know (and I'm not saying anybody cares) but I'm not named after the movie character "Flint" . . .

The Mac OS was the first to allow you to attach sounds to actions. About 15 years ago, for a short while, when you inserted a floppy into my mac you got the diner sound from When Harry Met Sallie.

There's a part of me that never grows up.

If you hadn't behaved like an asshole when you showed up, your welcome might have been different.

The sound you speak of is widely available on the net.

I happen to have one handy, right here.

What you need to do is find some way for your phone to capture the .mp3 file.

You can either hand enter the URL into your phone's web browser, or you can email the link to your phone and tell it to open the link in the email, which is how I have been doing it.

I have a couple "custom" ringtones that I generated this way, including the complete Outer Limits theme, but that's a bit much. I really have to edit that one down to just the control voice parts.

As an aside, In Like Flint and Our Man Flint are two of my favorite movies. They are available on DVD.

Verizon won't let you do any of that AFAIK

Worth experimenting with, though. I was quite surprised when it worked for me.

I have Cingular, though.

I wonder if I can use the phone to email the clip? Beestie, if you can't pick it up yourself, and you want to give it a try, PM me your cell #.

If you want a shorter URL, cellar.org/fl.mp3

Very good sound quality - Thanks! UT is right about Verizon not making it easy but I heard that Motorola sells software that you can use to get it from the computer to the phone via a small USB cable.

Off to find the software...

When it rings in a public place, people really notice.

Right now, though, my ringtone is a little more obscure. It's the intro to Hoods-A-Go-Go by Beru Revue.

I've never heard of "In Like Flint" either, but In Lik Flynn is sure used around here...

On another note, i signed up here today, and imagine my surprise when the FIRST topic I head to includes a fellow Victorian from Aust!! Nice to see we're get out in the world and making our mark.

Hiya BlackKat - we are even from the same neck of the woods :p.

well, well. Hows that then? Hope your side of the neck is better than mine was today... is it possible for shit to pile on top of shit?

Oh god yes it is!!

Why is it that dimsims and coke will not cure this hangover today? :greenface

I need a new ringtone. All the standard ones are used by people in cubicle land where I work. I need something unique so I know it's my phone.

Try tomato juice and salt n vinegar chips for your hangover - yum yum!! Always works for me.

I love Wolf's plain-spoken straight shooting.

Surely there are Gwennie! flavored ringtones available somewhere?

Polyphonic or mp3?

No Doubt. I see ads for them often. Once I saw an generated text ad for "Gwen Stefani Tickets for all Home and Away Games." :lol:
