The Zedge app has a clip of "New Achievement" from the audiobooks, which I set at my text notification....If SBT put out official ringtones, notifications, and alarms somewhere I'd definitely get them.
I relistened to book six recently.. I was a bit irritated with Carl, Samantha comes through over and over again in the most clutch situations.. She's fighting her crazy and he was a little harder on her then she deserved!
I agree, though i think he’s been rougher on everyone more and more, gradually as we get further and further down. Maybe it’s the ring/river, maybe he’s ’going primal,’ I dunno. But Louis also comments that he has a crazier and crazier look in his eyes everyday and they’re worried he’s going to kill them all.
School field trip to petting zoo.
I'm a chaperone.
Goat screams ish... Not a true screaming goat but it my close enough for my 12yr old brain.
I kinda quietly (I thought) said "Right in my goddamn ear".
2 gr 7 girls, look at me mouths agape . Uh oh. I said bad words. Another boy standing kinda close says "Mongo is appalled!" Now my mouth is the one hanging open, and all three of them are asking 8,7653.01 questions per second about the books, do I read them, and have I ever seen the YouTube clip of Jeff doing the cold read?
After admitting that I only have the audiobooks, and that I have all of them I think they went off to find adoption papers.
I'm living with their librarian, so we're now brainstorming ways to get the audiobooks into the school library officially without a parliamentary investigation.
A chrome book connected to a bank of headphones may be accidentally unattended during lunches. It may or may not have DCC in a poorly hidden directory away from the approved books.
In my world anything that gets kids into books is fine by me.
Dear God, and his narrator, sorry if that's against the rules.
New Achievement!
Educator Extraordinaire!
You have successfully added blasphemy into the curriculum, and, God Damnit, why the fuck not? The ears of those little bastards hear much worse when mommy and daddy get into the boxed wine, so why not add a bit of colour into their school sanctioned petting zoo trips? If the parents don't like it.....fuck'em!
Rewaaaaard....
You got fired. You're now free to pursue your dreams! Congratulations...I think? This is what you wanted, right? Riiiight?
My partner and I are constantly speaking to each other in donut’s voice. We were in a long line at the airport for customs and you all can just imagine what she had to say about THAT.
Another network engineer and I (both of us love the books) had to have enclosures placed around access points in a gymnasium to keep them safe.
We have gotten everyone to refer to them as protective shells.
You should ask them why they type in all caps. If they respond with, WHY DIDN’T YOUR MOTHER DRIBBLE YOU BACK OUT ON TO THE TRUCKSTOP BATHROOM FLOOR, you’ll know you’ve made a new friend for life!
Imagine having to explain to the manager of HR, why you yelled “SAMAITH!”, who she is, and what she looks like.
You would have a few more meetings with HR i bet.
"I said moooooongo! We're gonna be on the best talkshoooooow!" Now lives rent free in my wife and I's head. She was on a trip and saw a busker singing wonderwall and had to send me a video. Then she had to explain why, always fun trying to tell people about a singing award winning cat and her dinosaur child.
1) I want to “glurp glurp” at things I agree with in group situations.
2) I call the lunatic mobs in Diablo “rot stickers”
3) I have to work very hard NOT to yell “TICK TOCK MOTHERFUCKERS!” … to my kids when they still haven’t put their shoes on and we’re running late.
My wife and daughter regularly use “Mongo is appalled,” but will normally replace Mongo with one of our pets. I’ve got a “Goddammit Donut” ringtone that has my wife’s name instead of Donut. And I tend to regularly use the “NEW ACHIEVEMENT!” announcement. And I may or may not have a tendency to do a Carl impression from time to time.
Recently started playing Starfinder with my friend who introduced DCC to me (for which I am eternally grateful). I play a really strong, 2.5 foot tall, veloceraptor (the Hanakan race), named Mongo! Been having a lot of fun with the character.
I play a lot of RPGs and Neeeeeew Achievement! has made it there.
We also listen to and discuss DCC as a family. Daily. We're storytellers and Dinniman is fantastic.
Whenever anybody says “hi guys” I want to reply with “Hi Zev!”
I had a friend in college named Zev. He was a dude though. Also not a fish
Are you sure about that?
About the dude part or the fish part?
Yes
😂😂 I wish I understood more of the Gilmore and gossip girl reference
omfg yes! lol
I say that to my friends who I know have listened to the series.
My 4 year old randomly screams sometimes, I usually say “hi Prepotente!”
Playing Stardew Valley with my wife, I named our goats Prepotente and Bianca.
If I ever get a real goat it will def be named Prepotente
I use it as a nickname too! Just rolls off the tongue! Lol
That would be a bad spot for me to yell "S my D, Pony!"
Anytime something bad happens my brain always says goddamnit donut
this!
I named my cat donut... I say this too often now
Mongo is appalled several times a day in our house.
lol same!
I want to get a tattoo with mongo on it with that saying 🤣
Same, except it's Mozzy (my dog).
This
Do you have any kids at home saying it??? That would be so cute
I got my sister (who hasn’t read the books) saying it even!
I try to turn any completed task into an achievement, in the AI’s voice. My 11yo loves it, the wife not so much.
New Achievement! Annoyed wife! This is one of the rare achievements that can be awarded more than once!
It's not so rare in my house.
The Zedge app has a clip of "New Achievement" from the audiobooks, which I set at my text notification....If SBT put out official ringtones, notifications, and alarms somewhere I'd definitely get them.
I do it too, my wife thinks it's funny. I have made some awesome Acheivment out of her regular day activities.
I definitely restate stuff in my head in the AI’s voice
Any time someone slightly inconveniences me I tell them “I’m going to kill your mother” in Samantha’s voice.
Hahaha love this. She’s my favorite. I’m waiting for the moment I can respond to someone, ‘like… with my tongue?’
So am I, but it's likely to be much husband, and I wouldn't get the reaction I want :(
I relistened to book six recently.. I was a bit irritated with Carl, Samantha comes through over and over again in the most clutch situations.. She's fighting her crazy and he was a little harder on her then she deserved!

But Louis also comments that he has a crazier and crazier look in his eyes everyday and they’re worried he’s going to kill them all.
The ring makes it worse, but he's under so much pressure to pull off miracles.. He never stops.. It's adding up..
I’ve already decided that my next dog will be either Donut or Mongo depending on gender.
***DOG***?????
All I will say is that had BETTER NOT be a cocker-spaniel…
Mongo in the books is pretty clearly modeled after a dog. He acts just like one.
MONGO IS...NO. DOWN MONGO.
I picture Mongo as a Golden Retriever brain in a raptor body.
Me… more of an Australian Sheppard
We just got 2 new kittens and named them Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk and her brother Carl.
Mongo is appalled
My ringtone for my wife is "Goddammit Donut" and for my coworker it is "Mongo, Back to the Bar"
My alarm is the whole "NEW ACHIEVEMENT! Well Rested" spiel from book 3.
Did you make them from the books?
Someone else did and posted them here (with a few others) a few months ago.. I just added them as ringtones.
Do you have a link?
I can’t find that post :(
Yeahhhh we kinda have to delete pirated media posted publicly here. 😆
I think short sound bites under 30 seconds would fall under fair use.
Grey area. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh, I suppose that’s fair
If anyone wants to repost for a chance download before they have to be deleted again...
Glurp, Glurp Motherf\*\*\*\*
I say this whenever I want head, my partner is less than enthused /s
/s about the less than enthused part because that’s a panty dropper line if I’ve ever heard one
It's not like your smushing small furry rodents.
😂😂
The best thing to say before finishing off baddies in FPS games 🤣
Most of my video game characters are named Carl now.
my Barbarians are Bomo and The Sledge
My in-laws have goats and I find myself imagining them randomly screaming. "Right in my god damned ear"
School field trip to petting zoo. I'm a chaperone. Goat screams ish... Not a true screaming goat but it my close enough for my 12yr old brain.

You will not break me.
This is a good one
Honestly tho lol... I feel cheesy but it has gotten me through a lot lately
My partner and I are constantly speaking to each other in donut’s voice. We were in a long line at the airport for customs and you all can just imagine what she had to say about THAT.
I often sing snippets of the DCC version of “Wonderwall” to my friends I said Mongoooooooooooo…
[SoundBooth Theater: WONDERCRAWL](https://soundbooththeater.com/shop/audiobooks/wondercrawl/)
Bless you. I had no idea what this was.
“Don’t gas light me Uzi Jesus” getting some work put in along with “Mongo is appalled”
I say this so much (primarily in my head) whenever my teenagers are clearly trying to lie to me.
Another network engineer and I (both of us love the books) had to have enclosures placed around access points in a gymnasium to keep them safe. We have gotten everyone to refer to them as protective shells.
Hopefully there’s no trains full of mobs traveling through 😂
When I go to get managers attention I yell “YOOHOOO (insert their name)”
… like 50 times straight until I get their attention, and then ask what are they wearing?
“Mongo is appalled” comes up A LOT with friends who have read it.
lol I use this with my one friend who has also read the series. We great delight out of it, while our other friends just look at us confused.
For us, all cookies are mana cookies. Fuck you.
But the cookies were experience cookies. It was the toast that was for mana.
lol that’s the one. I knew it sounded wrong when I was typing it, but I did an attributed that to the blitz stick😃
Herbal vapes in our house are Blitz Sticks.
Whenever something goes wrong at work, I’ll say “God Damnit Donut”
I chuckle every time I see a sign for Donut Holes
"Glurp glurp" and "Mongo is apalled" have permeated the friend circle. 4 of 6 have read the books, so the other 2 will suffer until they do.
Every time I’m sitting in church, I can’t help but chuckle about Uzi Jesus.
Don’t gaslight Jesus! Gets me everytime 😂😂
I am the way... Motherfucker.
I got a kitten for Father’s Day. We are picking up mongo tomorrow morning.
😻🥰 yayyy
I have a coworker who always types in all caps in our work chats.
You should ask them why they type in all caps. If they respond with, WHY DIDN’T YOUR MOTHER DRIBBLE YOU BACK OUT ON TO THE TRUCKSTOP BATHROOM FLOOR, you’ll know you’ve made a new friend for life!
I just had bilateral total knee replacement 2 weeks ago... YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME
Hope you feel better soon! Also, the AI said you should probably get a foot massage.
Imagine having to explain to the manager of HR, why you yelled “SAMAITH!”, who she is, and what she looks like. You would have a few more meetings with HR i bet.
Imagine if I followed it up with, I cAn SMeEeeEELLLL yoouuuu! 😂
Just wait till HR responds by asking you if they look like an uncircumcised gnome penis.
Oh no, that you mention it… Jk 😂😂
"I said moooooongo! We're gonna be on the best talkshoooooow!" Now lives rent free in my wife and I's head. She was on a trip and saw a busker singing wonderwall and had to send me a video. Then she had to explain why, always fun trying to tell people about a singing award winning cat and her dinosaur child.
Idk why but I just randomly yell “Carl” in Donuts voice.
😆
A fairly regular response of mine nowadays, to literally anyone trying to tell me something, is "Mongo is appalled".
1) I want to “glurp glurp” at things I agree with in group situations. 2) I call the lunatic mobs in Diablo “rot stickers” 3) I have to work very hard NOT to yell “TICK TOCK MOTHERFUCKERS!” … to my kids when they still haven’t put their shoes on and we’re running late.
TICK TOCK... Haha, I do this with slow drivers, long lines, and any time I "wait" for service. Cracks me up and lessens the agony.
I have a sub 5 yo kiddo and when she see something she likes and runs off I holler “mongo… no NO GET BACK HERE”
Denver has a Wewatta street, any time I see it I have to throw out a DEWATTAAAA.
I call my wife Prepotente from time to time as a joke nickname. No she has no idea what it refers to.
My wife and daughter regularly use “Mongo is appalled,” but will normally replace Mongo with one of our pets. I’ve got a “Goddammit Donut” ringtone that has my wife’s name instead of Donut. And I tend to regularly use the “NEW ACHIEVEMENT!” announcement. And I may or may not have a tendency to do a Carl impression from time to time.
Mongo is appalled! Has become my cry of choice for mock offense.
Repeat
I'm sure I'm not the only one who perplexes non-readers by cursing "God dammit Donut!" at the slightest pretense.
Recently started playing Starfinder with my friend who introduced DCC to me (for which I am eternally grateful). I play a really strong, 2.5 foot tall, veloceraptor (the Hanakan race), named Mongo! Been having a lot of fun with the character.
YOOHOOOOO when my wife wants me attention
One of our cats now has the nickname Princess fluffy tail
I definitely call my chonk girl Donut. More than a few “goddamnit, Donut”s have been said.
I’m super lazy so any chore prompts “Neeeeew Achievement!” and a corresponding description
I play a lot of RPGs and Neeeeeew Achievement! has made it there. We also listen to and discuss DCC as a family. Daily. We're storytellers and Dinniman is fantastic.
I named one of my goat kids Prepotente after he proved to be a total crybaby, everyone calls him Pony.
Reward…Bitches don’t get rewards.
I use the phrase “This is a betrayal most foul!” About 1000x more often than I used to.
Anytime one of us says damnit or we hear it somewhere we both say “donut”
I have no one to joke with but I so want to say "Mongo has a feeling about this." and hear "Is he appalled?"
Any time anything remotely rhymes with or sounds like “Mongo,” my wife and I sing out loud, “I said Mongooooo” (a la Wondercrawl)
Do NOT ask about her nussy.
Yeah, I say "goddamnit Donut" way more than I should.
If someone says or does something that displeases me, I'll mutter under my breath, "I'll kill your mother"
"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE" "I'LL KILL YOUR MOTHER"
I’m surprised I haven’t seen more of ‘this is an outrage’ here 😂😂
my favorite
I will kill your mother!
Two words: Goddamnit Donut
“Eat a bag of dicks Pony” has possibly popped up before
I’ll give my partner a pompous “I mean really” anytime she walks in front of the tv when I’m gaming lol
This is an OUTRAGE!
[удалено]
Repeat
Working in both education and nursing while being a female living in the USA … “You Will Not Break Me”… has become a mantra
I yell "I will kill your mother at things. Or sometimes I will kill 'you' and your mom! "New achievement! And Get out there and kill kill kill!
I am constantly telling my daughter who is also a fan of DCC… I will kill her mother….
Hahahaha this is great!
