We can't have archaic and eat it too.

We got twine.
Do they still have those Emergency Call Boxes on the interstates out west? I'm guessing not.

We have a wide variety of string. Some in huge quantities. I've got a roll of twine that's about half gone now, but it was something like a quarter mile long when it was new. But that reminds me, we're getting low on the general purpose kitchen string. Need to buy another spindle of that. String should be bought at general purpose hardware stores. You know, the little mom and pop places. They usually have a great selection.

Yes, but do you have a box of "pieces of string too short to save"?

I have string in my toolbox. Occasionally useful.

The Society for Creative Anachronism, but that's really kind of the whole point.

The other day, we were watching a show from 1981 hosted by the Smothers Brothers called "Young Comedians." Jerry Seinfeld was featured, with a bit about mugshots in post offices.
Do any post offices still have mugshots hanging up anymore? I only recall noticing them when I was a kid in the '70s, bored to death while waiting in line with my mother. Lately it seems the USPS wants post offices to appear more like retail stores, and mugshots don't exactly fit in with that image... |

This laptop I am trying to get working is archaic. But I can get to the cellar with it, so that is all that matters.

Then there’s the record-scratch sound, still used frequently in ads and comic scenes to indicate someone’s train of thought going off the rails. Isn’t it weird that we still use that sound? For the most part, the last 20 years’ worth of viewers and listeners have never even heard that sound in real life! (In a 2008 NPR segment, the host asked some teenagers if they could identify the sound. They couldn’t. “I have no idea…. I know I saw it on TV.”) |
