Kyle - Telegrams were discontinued about two years ago. All gone.
ReplyDeleteI got one when I was in high school once. They were hand-delivered.
I remember all those things...especially the first kiss, and when the shuttle blew up on my birthday. As far as the questions, yes on all except Bugaria and just to be sure, I actually did the math. You are vicious! It went out to 8 decimal places!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bro, and it probably only took you ten seconds to do it too.
ReplyDelete1.No.
ReplyDelete2-6. Yes.
7. Yes. And I also remember buying my first phone. Black. Rotary dial. Because, hello, that's all there was, dial-wise.
8-9. Yes.
10. Yes. My folks sent me a telegram on my 21st birthday.
1. Not even.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. Yes and a damn fine one, too.
6. Badly.
7. Not really.
8. Yep. And wave at the little dot that's Omaha at the same time.
9. Nope. And I have the scars to prove it.
10. Uh...yeah.

ReplyDeleteMy younger brother is like your George Clooney: He is brilliant and can do anything.
My telegram informed me of my draft status.
7: I was hoping you'd get the "Steve Martin" reference.
5. We'll have to make an omelet-making competition judged by Eric, Nayb, and the Child. I'm sure you'll win.
I ignored the Steve Martin reference. What with my bleeding, broken heart still mending and all.
