Couldn't you just blow into a cheap microphone enough for it to overload for the same effect?
Wouldn't be nearly as cathartic, I'd imagine.

"Oh, OK, now I'm free. Let me get my coat."

That is hilarious!
Also, it took me a minute to see what Inspector.Gadget meant, then I laughed.

We should take this link to MetaTalk during a flameout, challenge everyone in the thread to play, and thus have MetaFilter take over the entire high score board.

That totally cracked me up.
It reminds of a multiplayer minigame included with the DS game Rub Rabbits, where you have to pass the DS around performing simple actions like "Hold A and Left", or "Make noise and touch the screen." You have to continue doing your thing until the next person has satisfied their conditions.
In practice what this means is that you end up with a ring of people all screaming and clasping at the DS like angry, confused monkeys.
