Some time ago, I stumbled across this website called "Instant Rimshot", don't worry it's totally safe for work. It's a sound library. There isn't a whole lot, but the stuff they do have is glorious. They have the now iconic CSI "YEEAAHH!!", they have the classic rimshot, the wilhelm scream, the "Price is Right" fail horn and some others.
Granted, those are the best of them, but that's still pretty darn good. The only downside is that there is no embed code. That would be the cherry on top of the sundae as you could utilize the buttons in your blog posts. Lord knows, I'd put that to good use. They have a "share" button, but it doesn't quite work the same way. I guess one could just make their joke or reference and then hyperlink it, but it's not quite the same and it detracts from the post itself as the readers have to click the link to a separate page.
Minor quibbles notwithstanding, this site is quite a bit of fun. The URL is pretty self explanatory, it's just instantrimshot.com, and from there you can go through the various sounds they have in their repertoire.
