"Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!" clip contest/search

Hi all.

Today, I decided that a neat thing to do would be to have ViewpointKiller play a short clip if it found that Viewpoint was not on your system. I accomplished this easily by using PlaySound(), and I set it to if the user doesn't want to hear said clip, PlaySound() will return no sound.

Here's the problem: I searched the web (to death) for a clip of someone shouting "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!", but I couldn't find anything. So I decided to make my own clip. However, I don't think that it is funny enough. So here's what I am asking the members of PFO to do (if of course, they want to): Make me a "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!" .wav clip. If it is funny enough, I will include it with the next release of ViewpointKiller, and give the credits to you (duh).

I know this is really stupid sounding, but I thought it would be cool if someone else made a funny sounding clip. You can download my version of it here to get a feel for what I am looking for.

One rule: No language or things other than saying "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!"

Thanks for your input in this small contest. :banana:

For those who do not know what I am talking about and are wondering if I am drunk: http://lasvegastalk.com/modules.php?...wtopic&p=20690

Hahaha... your clip made me laugh. If you modified it a bit with Audacity, it may sound okay. Just some noise removal, and maybe some compression/filtering.

I would do it, but I can't speak like a horny, redneck rooster without straining my throat.

You don't have to speak like a horny, redneck rooster, just make it funny...

Once I get an idea into my perverted ol' head, it's hard to get rid of it. If I keep laughing at my monitor, the li'l guys in the white coats, with the nets, will show up on my doorstep.

@DaWei: Oh well, don't get carted off to the nuthouse.

Sane, why don't you give making the clip a try?

Don't have a microphone. Only one downstairs. If I feel bored out of my mind, break up with my girlfriend, and lose all inspiration to program or complete homework, I'll giver err a try?

Fair enough. :p

I'm getting the feeling that I'm the only one who is going to make a clip, but that's ok.

Oh, shoot. I just got around to listening to it. Okay, okay. I'll do one tomorrow. Suitable for family consumption. Unless you're a dirty ol' rooster standing on the south side of a north-bound hen. You'll have to rely on your own dirty mind to dredge up thoughts of cocks who have smaller peckers than the hens, and sich.

Shame on you DaWei, you just gave my innocent mind an impure thought...

BTW, last I checked, I wasn't a rooster, so I'm thinking that's not a problem...

If you are really going to do a clip, thanks. If not, disregard this. :p
