I guess she has one of these....



Sold around 1989, it is commonly referred to as a Lego Phone - however it was made by Tyco Toys. I don't know if it was a joint venture, or if it was just Tyco Super Blocks that were mistaken for Lego blocks. I do know there were several lawsuits between the two companies.

A type G handset.

A couple of weeks ago I removed my office phone, which was a more-or-less modern, electronic gadget with caller ID and answering machine.
In it's place is now a Western Electric 2500.
I love it. A nice, loud and robust ringer. Crystal clear handset. And the thing is heavy enough to bash the skull of unwanted salesmen.

And it's red.

I'd say most addicts are college educated at this point, no?

Now that's just crazy talk.



The Pima County Board of Supervisors in Arizona narrowly avoided a domestic terrorist threat when a man armed with a gun-shaped tie clip had his tiny weapon confiscated by security.
