I find this a lot easier than yelling or singing. With the press of a trigger I have voiced my frustrations over a bad scene, then I roll my way along. Less stress for me.<br /><br />Those guys who honk at pedestrians should be forced to drive.Blogger Suckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482078026966474926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-49529111737971204142019-06-07T15:56:00.270-04:002019-06-07T15:56:00.270-04:00I thought my AirZound worked great, esp right-side...I thought my AirZound worked great, esp right-side intersections.<br /><br />Then I became an expressive user.<br /><br />No dice.

So yeah, use of the horn as a weapon is a pet peeve of mine. The girl drives more than I do and she does it, and to me it seems to just be venting frustration. What I had never really thought of though is the extreme view that there were absolutely no horn uses that weren't just for that. I'll admit there are few, but I'm not certain there are none. I mean, perhaps you are stranded in your car, unable to get out, and are far enough away from the rest of humanity that they can't hear you shout or see you wave, but you're not so far away that they can't hear the horn. A perfect use right there. <br /><br />Makes about as much sense as the "guns save XXXX lives a year" bumper stickers. <br /><br />Seriously, someone backing up toward you or otherwise unaware of your presence when you are unable to move out of the way is about it.<br /><br />"putting a distortion pedal on a Stradivarius"<br /><br />I'd actually pay to hear this.<br /><br />"gluing great big hairy Popeye arms onto the Venus de Milo'<br /><br />And to see this, although I suppose Photoshop would be better than gluing stuff to a marble antiquity.huskerdontnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-81205256870222850572019-06-03T12:50:26.607-04:002019-06-03T12:50:26.607-04:00Also, I see a comment posted 10:35 AM.

He stayed calm in the face of idiocy and nailed the facts down. I coulda hugged him, it was so refreshing.
