a fun prank to pull...wait till someone is up in the rafters next to all those pipes...then mash the keys lol

although theres a chance the guy wouldnt be able to hear very well for a while...

I hate this organ -- the 'worlds largest' and also the 'words quietest organ' -- this organ has been played at 1/20th its intended volume since forever - reason: its inside a department store - this is the cock-tease of all organs - your local church organ is more loud and grand.

I dont give a fuck how many floors it covers, my point remains the same - ITS QUIET! (if YOU even payed attention..)

[bricksquad9552]

@sunshine34ification because it covers seven floors if you even payed attention...

@Rotard12a I never said anything about that.(;

That has nothing to do with what i said lol. And since when did i say i wanted another orga? You make no sense you act like i said something like "Oh this organ should be at my church and only people i want to see it can see it"

And personaly what you said made no sense about what i was talking about okay?;)

[Rotard12a]

@mannymora67 If you are as religious as you advertise yourself to be, then you should acknowledge that the voice of praise should be available to all, not simply to those who visit places approved by "mannymora67"

If you want another organ, build one. This one stays here.

[mannymora67]

@sunshine34ification Well what did the department store sell?

[mannymora67]

@Rotard12a I mean it could only be used in churches i just dont find it very useful being at a store.

[Rotard12a]

@mannymora67 didn't know that an organ was only useful in a church.

here I thought it was some kind of musical instrument. Guess I was wrong, it's just a dusty piece of monastic architecture
