Ok! We can learn from each other. When I was a kid, we didn't have much money and it was cheaper to have a party line. So whenever you wanted to use the phone for something important, someone you didn't know was yapping away about BS. It was like when someone is on the phone in your house and you pick up the extension.
"Dan" remembers milk deliveries, but I don't. He is older than I am. But my house is equipped with a milk chute for that purpose. We had to seal it off because it leaked cold air.
Okay, now you tell me what the SXSW is. |

SXSW is South by South West. A music and movie festival in Austin.
Toronto has NXNE...North by North East.
And I think my mom would listen to those people's convos on the party line.

Oh, ok. There's now way I would have known that.
When Ric and I were kids, the tabs pulled all the way off the pop cans and it gave a much more satisfying drink hole. But people littered the tabs all over the place. That's why Jimmy Buffet says he stepped on a pop top and cut his heel in Marguititaville. |

I hate it in period movies when they don't show that . Also people would tell you not to put em inside the can because you'd choke on em if . While a hershey bar was 5 cents a milky way would be 10 . |

I wonder what the next generation will think is funny about this one.
Our hilarious lack of teleporting ability, or something. |

Really? I remember my mom talking about having one of those when she was little. But you are like half her age.
And milk deliveries. But in a bottle, not a bag. Sadly.
I may be an ignorant youngster but I know what SXSW is! Kayte, let us share our knowledge with each other!
We still have milk deliveries over here....but it seriously dying out! I feel sorry for those wee milkmen! Oh and yes we get that milk in glass bottles....not plastic ones or BAGS!
However, I just buy my milk from the nearest shop :)
Also remember there hole tab thing on the cans. Ric I used to get so annoyed when my mum said I would choke on the pully...NO I WONT!!!!!!! lol

Yeah, me too! Why don't these royal smart people invent something we need for a change?

| I'm kind of starting to get the feeling that there won't be a US tour. After the interview that said they'd be taking a long break and now Neil saying something about not knowing if it's worth touring. It doesn't sound like they're ready and raring to go. |

it's okay. We will just have a get together without a show.
Well, it's not OKAY, but we will make up for it with collective awesomness.
(other people are going to have to make up for my lack of awesomeness) |

But what if we get together and there's nothing to talk about?

We have dirty hockey references. We need nothing else.
and Darran said we can wax his legs. That will kill half an hour. and then an hour of him crying. |
