I still have access to one ... I have a feeling it's older than you.

And as Lewis Black once mentioned, it is in fact heavy enough to kill a puma with.

My grandma had a rotary phone well through the '90s. At some point someone got her a touch-tone phone that was arranged in a facsimile of a rotary phone, not because she couldn't use a touch-tone phone (there had been one in the kitchen forever), but for continuity in the family room. Now she has a smartphone and I don't.

In the late 80s, my aunt and uncle who were in their 30s had a rotary phone in their bedroom. I was like what the hell? Then I looked and it had buttons too and I realized is was a kind of a yuppie retro thing they were doing. Probably similar to what your grandma had...

In the mid 70's, WLS had a contest to call in and sing in the old McDonald's Big Mac jingle in under 10 seconds. I think the prize was free McDonalds gift certificates? Anyway, I had blisters on my index fingers from dialing that old rotary phone so much. Also, it was a really really old one... the type that had the handset as heavy as a 5 lb. bar bell.

This entire thread is one giant advertisement. Who the fuck are you kidding, champ?

Big Fan has this board on the run, The Three Wiseman have lost control or they are secretly working for the BagMan or both. This is some really deep stuff, conspiracies abound!

Trust no one!
