Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong….(one hour later)…Ding-dong, ding-dong, diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinggggggg-

dooooooong!!! Has this been the background music to your class in LC all semester? Who the heck thought it would be a good idea to play REALLY LOUD bells in the middle of the day?? Are you in JE, Branford or Saybrook and find it difficult to live, let alone study when these bells are playing the latest pop culture hits (or, more commonly, simply ringing to a completely indiscernible tune for an entire hour)? In other words, if you are a completely sane human being, REPLY M to MUTE the HARKNESS BELLS.
 
Or, if you a) are a Carillonneur or b) actually agree with your lying-through-his/her-teeth Yale tour guide that listening to the songs played from Harkness is a “quintessential Yale experience,” forward this email to all your friends to proclaim the majesty of the Harkness Bells!
 
Whether you want to vent your frustration about the Harkness Bells, spam emails, people who complain about the Harkness Bells, or people who REPLY ALL to spam emails (it never ceases to amaze how many people actually do this)…or wish simply to extol the beauty of music or explore the power of the email as a means of communication…join us at 7:30 in the Berkeley Mendenhall Room for our semesterly joke debate! All are welcome.
