especially annoying when those punks drive by with their windows rolled down, one of these days I'll acquire and lob a teargas grenade into said open window, then laugh as aforementioned asshole pukes all over dashboard biggrin:[/quote:c21c7]

How is it not music ?

[quote:c21c7]According to Dictionary.com , Music means:

1- The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous,
unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm,
and timbre.

2- Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony,
or rhythm.

3- A musical composition.

4- The written or printed score for such a composition.

5- Such scores considered as a group: We keep our music in a stack near
the piano.

6- A musical accompaniment.

7- A particular category or kind of music.

8- An aesthetically pleasing or harmonious sound or combination of
sounds: the music of the wind in the pines.[/quote:c21c7]
