Rotary phones weren't even that long ago?!??! I still remember the swooop, click-click-click-click sound, oh, and the ear shattering ringing bells. I am happy that in our lifetime we've come so far that kids don't understand tools from just a couple decades ago. I remember my father showing me a stack of punch cards he used at work and warning me not to touch them - but what I also know is, that those kids better get the hell off my damn lawn!
Mid 40s, and I too feel old now - at first I thought OP was setting us up for a joke. The local phone company still delivered phone books to everyone in my city until a few years ago.
I think it was an old legal requirement for any phone company providing landline services to also provide phonebooks. Unfortunately most weren't even recycled, they were either burned in backyard firepits, or just thrown out
Thanks for the suggestion! I think that's how I'd describe A man called Otto, and I love that movie
I've forgotten about that movie! It's as if every fear, and suspicion, I had about the people working in restaurants came true 😂. It's been a while since I've seen it's memes...going to have to dig into the old meme folder and get posting
How did you like The Holdovers? I've been wanting to add that to my streaming queue
Same! I think the only one I didn't really care for was Covenant, I felt it wasn't paced the same as his other movies, but I'd still watch it again if it was streaming.
In regards to Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, also two of my favorite movies, thanks for pointing them out, defintely a fun time!
Agreed! I honestly not sure which was the most messed up of all the revelations

Same here, I feel as though I see the Oral-B heads on sale at least once a month, but the Sonicare heads are almost never on sale. Years ago I noticed the Philips Sonicare site running sales around Black Friday, but there haven't been any for the last couple of Black Fridays.
Every now and again I'll see discounted heads on Amazon, but I've also heard stories that there is a 50/50 chance of getting a knock-off that won't work with handles - as Amazon combines all of their products for storage regardless of the seller
Speedo = Scrotie Totey
Did the voice on the payphone say: You must please deposit 25 cents to place your call LOL I think that's engrained in my memory
Fun fact:
Once touch tone phones became the norm there were actually games you could play by just calling a number. There was also a number you could call and get the local time and temperature. Oh, and lets not forget Mr. MoviePhone!
