Low boom?
« on: March 07, 2012, 08:30:07 pm »
So I was woken up in the night getting attacked by dingo men and such when I get a message saying:

You hear a low boom.

What does that mean?

Go back see if he's there and run him over, and drink his gun!

There was another thread about this.

It's a Kakapo. A flightless parrot, the males of which use both a "boom" and "metallic 'ching'" as mating calls.

You're hearing a bird complaining about the quality of his sex life :P

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Before the Kakapo was household knowledge, many people assumed it was a Bronze Colossus or otherwise terrifying beast.
Flightless furballs are not terrifying.

I know right. It would have been a great thread where people come over and say they heard one too and others would say it was birds and I'd be like that's bullshit, birds don't go boom, meteors do!
