The Scariest Thing at iMarc
by Fred LeBlanc - June 22, 2006 / 5:35pm View more articles
Simple, it's two words: air horn.
Every time iMarc wins a job, Nils will sneak up stairs and before saying anything reaches for the "New Business Air Horn." He just snuck around the corner and blasted it in our room.
Now we're not in the tiniest of spaces, but man that thing can echo. Also, it's three times as bad since you never see it coming. It's a ludicrous experience. Everyone jumps, completely startled and frightened all at the same time, the dogs run for cover, and Nils can be heard laughing.
You know that scene in Dogma where Metatron (played by Alan Rickman) tells people to cover their ears because the meer sound of God's voice (played by Alanis Morissette) will make your heart explode? It's like that, but ten times worse.
Instead, we should get confetti and balloons that fall from the sky. Maybe we could give everyone a little party blower-horn thing and they could take it out for the glorious occasions. We should just go to the bar for a beer.
I love new projects, but I fear the mighty air horn.

BLAST AWAY!
Apologies to all, but Fred, I honestly think that's the first time I deliberately sandbagged the developer room. Usually it's just a blast in the design studio, or out the window if there's a potential victim on the plaza.
Will totally took the brunt of it, although I'm not certain why Patrick can still hear, given how close he was when I lit it off.
Anyway, stop whining! :-)
