Honk if You Like Horns!

Ed Kaspriske is an air horn enthousiast - he collects diesel locomotive air horns. If you want to put a big horn on your Geo Metro you'll find something interesting in his website. You'll find pictures, sounds and a link to his Youtube channel, but no teenager pranks.

Don't miss Ed's collection of locomotive air horns.

Some years ago while away from home in the navy my dad installed a set of Fiamm air horns on my Honda 750-4 motorcycle. Motorcycle horns are basically worthless. I liked them so much I've installed the same model air horns in all my cars. They are real easy to find. I think Pep Boys carries them. I am not one to use my horns much while driving. My philosophy is if I do blow the horns I want them to be heard. Anyway, I highly recommend getting the small 2 horn Fiamm set for your car and/or motorcycle. (If you add a set to a motorcycle make sure the horns are pointed down so they won't fill up with water when it rains.) They come with the horns, a small air compressor, plastic tubing and a relay. Amazon.com has a bunch of models also.

That steam locomotive movie was really great to see.

Hmmm...well. I guess there's now one reason I can be thankful for some of the side-effects of working in retail for years, because it's honed my politely-ending-conversations-and-quickly-getting-away skills!

I just close my eyes, cover my ears and start screaming while counting up... I usually open an eye to have a peek when I'm around 15 seconds and most times the other person is gone. However, sometimes people don't know how to react and will stand there and stare at me, unable to process what is going on. If by 30 seconds (second peek) the person is still there, I'll start running away as fast as I can while still covering my ears and counting (eyes should be open at that point tho, I tried with eyes closed once and it didn't end well, I was stuck with the person for 20 minutes until ambulance arrived). If by 45 seconds the person followed me when I ran away, well by then they deserve a conversation, so I'll stop running and screaming and just invite them to my house for coffee. Not a lot of people come to my house.

@everwhere

right, because they've got the exclusive rights to intentionally crudely drawn comics on the internet?

i've read the entirety of both the oatmeal and hyperbole and a half. they are not the same, nor is one a 'rip off' of the other. they are sovereign entities.

how's *your* awesome website that you make enough money to live off of going?

that's what i thought.
