Ring, ring... it's for you Now that we're in the digital age and everyone and their dog has a cell phone, who out there on the org boasts a Prince ring tone?
The AT&T website offers 'Betcha by golly wow!' as their only Prince song. Bastards! I'm still not entirely sure why they chose that song, but whatever floats yer boat... Once I heard a 'When Doves Cry' ringtone in the mall and nearly went into cardiac arrest! True story. _____ Well, shit, did I just put this in the wrong forum? Forgive me, it's late. Please move this thread to where you see fit, moderators... [This message was edited Tue Sep 10 1:47:37 PDT 2002 by Natsume] I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

BBGW is probably the only one because Prince is a dick and most likely wouldn't allow licensing of any of his published songs for ring-tones. So they went to one of his few cover songs. | |

That's what I kind of figured. In any case, it's absolutely terrible. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

I used to have a "When Doves Cry" ringtone, it sounded pretty sad/annoying though, so I subsequently changed it! --»You're my favourite moment, you're my Saturday... | |

There are the odd few that are alright, endearing even, but yea... they are in the minority. --»You're my favourite moment, you're my Saturday... | |

I have a kewl John Williams tune in there.
Remember those movies with that fella in da black cape (NOT ZORRO!), and that rebuild German helmet. He seemed to have smoken alot during his life cuz his breathing is pretty heavy. Maybe he is just excited all of the time. He wars a very silly torch and chops off the hand of a guy that turns out to be his son (who in turn has the hots for his own sister, perverts) Anyway, this movie features this really kewl tune whenever this caped weirdo appears on screen and that is what I got in my cell phone. Really silent, so I keep missing my calls. | |

EDIT: Sorry, Natsume... I didn't want to ruin your topic with my rant, so I deleted it and made a new topic.
Please forgive me for initially launching into a diatribe on your innocuous topic. [This message was edited Tue Sep 10 5:51:18 PDT 2002 by IceNine] SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Y else would u honestly believe that ur in demand 24-7? Well, yes, I do have an ego. i'd be fucked without it. I need my mobile for work. I have to be able to be contacted during the day. Many people are in this postion. It's called the real world. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Earlier you complained about me deleting posts, so I decided to edit it with an explanation. I'm sorry you find my action to be obnoxious, but I thought you'd prefer it over having your post vanish without a trace. The bottom line is that we're not going to tolerate smear campaigns directed against individual prince.org members, and such posts are going to be deleted or edited. The only other alternative is to lock the thread, and I don't think other prince.org members are going to be very happy with you if your flames lead to a perfectly good thread getting closed. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

No, I don't like having my posts deleted. But it's preferable to having you edit them. But hey, whatever. As always, you choose the worst option. Ah well, I hope you enjoy being a moderator. You've got lots of work ahead of you [This message was edited Tue Sep 10 21:22:44 PDT 2002 by Aaron] | |

theC said: Matt what is so bad about that comment.I have seen MUCH worse on here recently. As I recall, in the original post there was more to it than the part you and Aaron reposted. But anyway, I agree that, by itself, the comment isn't much. However, Aaron and Nep2nes have been feuding for months, and Aaron has a documented history of flaming her and trying to provoke her. Our rules, which everyone who posts here has agreed to follow, state: Don't be hateful or abusive or harass others. Do not start, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs, or derisive comments will not be tolerated. For the benefit of all, we try to keep this site flame-free. And if people want an unmoderated forum where they can flame as much as they please, well, there's always alt.music.prince on Usenet.
