Speech bubbles

Can't hear someone talking in a crowded night club with insipid music blaring out of oversized and under-engineered speakers of ear-shattering decibels that reduce every song to teeth-rattling thuds while the incessant strobes give you a blinding headache and the ludicrous fog machine makes you certain that you're going to suffocate, which would be a good thing because then it would at least allow you to escape the fug of stale sweat, cheap perfume, and fresh sick that the watery, overpriced drinks do nothing to dull the pain of? Why are you in that hellhole in the first place?

If you insist, then these "speech bubbles" may be the answer. However, like many great inventions, this one was thought up over forty years ago with predictable results.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
