I never figured out how to change the ringtone of my phone, so it plays the annoying Nokia tune.

For ringtones you can use this online editor
Cut out the part of the song that you want, download it as an mp3 and then load it onto your cell phone.

Mine plays the opening music from the old video game, Galaga.

Unless the caller is my wife, in which case it plays the chorus from "Sex and Chocolate." :)

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Mine plays "scarce o' tatties."

I really want either an elk bugling or an ooga horn. Maybe both. An elk bugling at an ooga horn.

We need Caroluna to learn how to use sound editing software--surrealist ringtones, anyone?

Handy Tip:

We have two house phones set to ring with two different ring tone songs. That way, when a phone on TV rings the same way as one of the songs, we'll know for sure whose phone it really is.

I've used the "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" theme for years. I want a ringtone that's immediately distinguishable from background noise, and also from other ringtones. A lot of people use the classic "retro" telephone ringer, and I don't want to be conditioned to check my phone every time I hear one of those. But now that you mention it, a nice whistle solo would also be easily audible.

Truth is, I don't get a lot of calls. I use my phone much more for text, email, web, and that sort of thing. Like checking this forum when stuck in traffic. I have the minimum voice plan with T-mobile, 300 minutes, and I've gone over it exactly once since 2003.

Well, my wife might not, but I can't imagine why djm or Denny would care. :D
