What was that noise last night at the debates?

Did anybody else notice it? It was very brief but it caught the attention of both candidates; causing them both to look back stage.

Here’s one theory as to what it was: Link

Was it a low rumple, followed by a metallic squink, followed by a mysterious…glonk?

I heard it too. Baffling.

Either a vuvuzela or a hoop snake.

The empty chair attacks!!! Angered that it had not been given a podium on the stage, the empty chair fought valiantly against stage hands in an attempt to push its way onto the stage. It wasn’t until a stage hand threatened the chair with a chain saw that the chair relented and scooted away in defeat.

I thought this thread was going to be about Jim Lehrer squeaking in the background.

Along with a voice crying out “DEAR GOD!”

A cat screeching would’ve been a nice touch.

The rattling chains of Jacob Marley, Obama and Romney’s old law and business partner.
