Why I Am Going Insane.

[alexandraaah]

Turn up your speakers, but remember, it was fucking blaring in my apartment.

Also remember that it never ends. Ever.

Oh sure, you can turn it off. I, however, have had the same evil ice cream truck driver follow me from my LAST apartment, over two miles away, to haunt me at this one.

Also, for those of you who may be getting nostalgic, this is only one of many tunes whistled at ungodly decibels in front of my apartment for hours on end.

The others include some creepy renditions of classical music (a dragging version of Fur Elise that sounds like it's on the wrong speed) and something else unintellible that ends with a really loud, freaky voice screaming, "HELLO!"

Share my pain.

Thanks tortoise! You rock!

Hate to tell ya babe, but that wasn't an ice cream truck. The driver wasn't wearing a white uniform for nada.

 

[CoolidgEffect]

So

Is this going to interfere with the new job?

 

[miles]

Nice sneakers, BTW.

 

[tortoise]

In a perfect world...

...every single ice cream truck would blare Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man" at ear-splitting volume levels.

Either that, or Modern English's "Melt With You."



All my flavors are guaranteed to satisfyyyyyyy

 

[BigDawg69]

Yeah we have a guy who drives a scary brown van around the neighborhood blaring that tune almost everynight. Why and parent would let their kids get close to it, I'll never know. I've often thought of putting my speakers on the front porch and out doing him with some Hells Bells or similar tune!

Can't you have him charged with noise pollution or something? And blasting him with some of your own tunes sounds like a great idea.

He'd be the least of the offenders. I'm in a converted storefront at a four way stop in a gang happy hood.

Who says there aren't earthquakes in Chicago?

I've got all my shit held down with duct tape for the bass-happy drivers.

I'd probably buy some fucking ice cream if the driver kicked up that bass and shook the streets. Just cause it would be funny ha-ha, but only for a second.

 

[alexandraaah]

Update.

There's currently a soothing medley of "Oh When The Saints Go Marching," "London Bridges" and "Old Macdonald Had a Farm."


This is, quite possibly, the soundtrack to my nervous breakdown.


Oops...he just threw in a little, "One little two little three little Indians.." followed by "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

Shoot me and put me out of my misery.

 

[alexandraaah]

Good God, it's now a Christmas soundtrack.

Jingle Bells somehow segued into Silent Night.

Has he no other block on which to hang?

What he said.

 

[alexandraaah]

trippy

If only.

"Home Home on the Range."

I don't believe this guy.

Re: Re: So

Hmmm....could be good, could be bad.

Depends.

Heh.

 

[Rambling Rose]

You are effectively making me regret my new career choice.

You are effectively making me regret my new career choice.

I never in a million years pictured you driving an ice cream truck.

 

[Sillyman]

Say it isn't so Rose.

 

[Rambling Rose]

It is decidedly so

Well, it was a thought. They make good money and I was looking for a job I could walk away from easily in time for Fall registration. Here the trucks all play Scott Joplin's "The Sting". I was going to wear headphones.

Do you think I should look for something more intellectual?

 

[alexandraaah]

He's back.

Just heard the whole alphabet song.

 

[SlowHand89]

He should go around playing Eddie Murphy's bit.

 

[Spinaroonie]

Fight back.

Get an Orrin Hatch or John Ashcroft CD and pump up the "jam"

 

[Raina]

Holy crap Alexandraaah, you are making me love my insane neighbor who loves Cher and Showtunes at 3 am.

omg alex.....turtle told me to find this thread.....I HATE THE POPSICLE MAN!....like despise the motherfucker....this has been on for a few years now...at first it was really cool....the lil miracle getting so excited....but then he started creeping down the street every day like the pied piper of frozen goodness....we'd turn the tv up really loud the minute we heard the music.....lots of times we'd outfox him....but...he'd always win....she wouldn't hear him on our street.....but after the danger passed we'd get lax and turn the tv down......i think the lil shit would be extra loud on the street over....just to fuck with us....'cause sure enough she'd hear it over there....and just about turn blue until i loaded her in the car to find him....

damn thangs are about $1.50.....<shaking head>....our freezer currently has blues clues pushups...spiderman freeze pops...a variety pack of popsicles...and these swirl ones....lil mini bomb thingies....and flintstones pushups....(it's summertime in south louisiana...these are necessities).....but is that enough for the princess?....noooo....just a few hours ago...she heard him....and i had to scramble for change.....while she stood on the 150 degree driveway...waiting....

and.....that....fucking..."HELLO!"....is sooo creepy...i think it's some kind of mind control....all of the popsicle trucks have that damn song.....followed by "HELLO"....

 

[perks]

what I want to know is why does ours come out at 11PM at night.

He plays "Pop goes the weasel"
