fallop ... fallop ... fallop ...

I realize I wasn't very creative/thorough in the poll options. But hey, there are only 10 (I used 9). Oh well, I prefer the gutteral "Bah" or "Meh" - I use them quite frequently. These are more "exclamations", but they work here too, kinda.

My male cat cannot "meow" for some reason - he's vocally challenged so he makes little tiny "meeps". My female cat can "meow" but it's a hugh massive volume - it's more like MEOVOOM.

So my vote is for:

Meep

VaVoom

and... AhChooo

:D

Boom!

No boom today, maybe boom tomorrow, but there is always a boom. (Why didn't someone tell me to watch Babylon 5 years ago? It rocks!)
