Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My current ring tone is Mission Impossible.
I have a hard time finding ring tones that are just instrumental. If I forget to silence it at work, I don't want my phone singing. My favorite was when I had Hedwig's Theme. I can't find a version that will work on my current phone.
Actually, knowing the shooting statistics may give people the courage to run away rather than let themselves be intimidated into doing what ever somebody waving a gun says.
My ex, the cop, says most people who threaten with guns think the gun will magically make people do what they say and don't really have a plan B for people who say "no" and run away. Generally, though, attackers with knives are more likely to be mentally committed to violence.
My phone have been TV-themed for a while. I think I had the Mission: Impossible theme too. The wallpaper was a TV with Crockett & Tubbs on it. But I wasn't quite willing to have that ring at work.

Most people with guns also threaten like idiots and don't use the power of the distance weapon. Also, any idiot can cut you with a knife, so they're extra dangerous.
BevMo for the Izze win! With bonus Ting! I'm all soda-ed up. Good call, bon.
Ginger, good to know.

"This is why I don't like guns. They have a specific range of efficacy. Most people make one mistake - they get too close."
The "Eliot says" tag never closes anymore.
Please tell me you changed to Pretty Fly for a White Guy
I wish I did!
My first cell-phone (I was a late adopter) was a nokia which had some sort of midi-type software so you could program your own rigs, and I made the Buffy theme. That was my favorite ring ever, and no other phone I have ever had had that capability.
My ringtone is the Sanford & Son theme for The Boy (he works for a scrap yard/industrial recycler [and has hoarder tendencies]), Addams Family theme for any family member, and some generic Nokia tone for everyone else.
Two benadryls, 1 episode of Justice League, and 1 hour of napping later, and my head hurts less (if I had to quantify it, I'd say maybe 25% less). So I might eat some cereal, watch more Justice League, and try for more napping.

As Lord Peter Wimsey said, "A bullet, you see, may go anywhere, but steel's almost bound to go somewhere."
2 hours at the Dr. grrr. BK for lunch.

I need to read those books.
My mom, when I was young and she was instilling the Never Get In A Car With A Stranger rule, said that even if someone threatens you with a gun, you never get in that car, but intead start running, because if you run, they likely won't shoot you (or they'll miss), but if you get in the car, you've just acquiesced to all manner of nasty things.
