You know, there is some logic with respect to installing a giant gong in our living room.

1) I could use it to awaken Mrs. That Dan Guy in the mornings, as the low-level din of a gong crash would probably penetrate those heavy slumberland snores of hers.

2) Meals could be more effectively announced throughout the day, just like they used to do in the old west, with a little triangle, or cowbell. Just (as Tim Taylor used to be fond of saying): “More Power”!

3) Announcements of some such random daily accomplishment could be brought to MTDG’s attention – like when I install a fresh roll of toilet paper, or kill a spider. Although, so as not to be confused with meal gongs, I might have to use a couple of whacks on the instrument.

4) On occasion, I could just use it to recreate parts of songs, such as many of those by famed Canadian rockers Rush.

5) When ever I need a fresh beer…three gongs…

I’m sure there’s WAAAY more uses, and perhaps you all can let me know a few – but those would certainly be reason enough to me for justification of a purchase.

Chow for now!
