Hi. I'd like to modify my OS somehow so whenever I hit empty trash, there'd be a big explosion noise, and display some animated mushroom clouds over the top of my desktop. How would I do this?

there were some apps to do this in the old days (thru os9).
anyone remember oscar the grouch? he'd pop up and sing when you put stuff in the trash, then emptied it.

the story goes...the programmer got hell from people who found their kids trashing the files just to see oscar do his thing....lol!


seems pretty unlikely in os x...

someone prove me wrong!

(after all, we have custom poofs...)

I suggest getting Xounds from Unsanity. I think there's a custom setting for emptying the Trash. I don't know how to get an animation to occur at the same time.
