    Oh super, please find a way to politicize our comic!!! Seriously, go away if that’s what you’re bringing to the discussion. Thanks, guy.

    Those fellows sure had a can-do attitude. And it was the only job where it was an advantage to have a tin ear.

    Guy, maybe he has a chip on his shoulder about pole-ish jokes.

    The strings have to be tight for the can phones to work. I have made a lot of them as a child.

    Dogsniff, I don’t watch much tv so I’d never seen those ads. You made me Google them… so I guess now I’m one tiny bit less culturally deprived..:)

    Yo, “s”: Seeing conspiracies where they do not exist is indicative of a deep-rooted psychopathology, an emotional or psychological need to embrace delusion and paranoia. [… and tell your fellow Tea Partiers …]

    @Dogniff- Your grandma is out in the garden picking herbs… unlike Susan, I’m a TV junkie, but then, I’m home alone all day.

    @ Yukoneric that was my first thought too – it goes back to tecnology when you get back to civilization. Many of my events are way off the grid where our people do many old crafts. I’ve done soapmaking at the house of one friend who also keeps 6 chickens and I handmake leather shoes and teach that.

    It CAN take you back 120 years ago.

    Ah yes, this brings back good memories when things worked well. But then again, it was a pain in the butt to replace a bad repeater.

    Seems that whenever someone bashes obama they get dumped on, but it’s fine to beat the opposition to death.

    Just like the MSM

    I wonder how mixed up the messages get from one end of the call to the other. Did anyone else ever play the game where you start a message at one end of a long line, whisper it to the next person and see what it comes out as at the end?
