For Kat’s sake, if for no other reason (it’s a long, slow summer with no Fantasy Teevee, ain’t it, kiddo?), we have arrived at the finale of Sound Effect Madness. Turns out that “ing” is the key element in a great sound effect: Our two finalists are:
Zing vs. Boing
Make some noise for your favorite!
Boing!
I think I missed a few rounds. But my vote for number one goes to:
Boing.
Boing in a landslide!
Zing

Zing went the strings of my heart!
Boingy boingy boingy!
And yes, yes,it is. If it weren’t for the Madness threads, I’d go mad. 
Number of Oscar-winning Movies with “zing” in the title: ZERO
Number of Oscar-winning Movies with “boing” in the title: ONE
Gotta go with boing!
“Zing” occurs in many legitimate everyday words, such as “fizzing” and “anodizing”. “Boing”, on the other hand, is seen only rarely, usually in dance-related words such as “limboing” and “mamboing”.
On those grounds, if there were any, I cast my vote for “boing”.
Boing
Actually, The Unbearable Lightness of Boing lost to Rain Man.
BOING!
I’d like to add that I have no idea why this Tourney wasn’t more popular. Come on, people!

(I vote for “boiyoiyoiyoing,” which may be shortened to “boing” as appropriate).

Thank you! Damn, it was good enough to lure a lurker like you into posting … oh well.
Anyone else want to sound off before I tally the votes?
Boing is so much more fun!
Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!
Zing vs. Boing
By a vote of 11 to 3, the winner is (drumroll – er, cacaphony of thunks, whizzes, and kachings, pls. ) –
Boing!
Somewhere, the ghost of Don Martin is looking on with approval.
