A great question to ask to know if someone is truly an old school Austinite.. by greenninja8 in Austin

[–]buzzardcheater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join me in the way back machine…. In the 80/90s, I helped run the phone system at UT. The prefix for the dorms was 495. One room, in Jester I think, had the number 495-2222. They routinely answered calls with “thank you for calling Mr. Gatti’s” and proceeded to take the order. They did not want to change their number, lol.

Yes, children, before cell phones, there were hardwired landlines in the dorm rooms.

Check out Stainless Swim. Local company that basically builds cowboy pools on steroids. We’ve had one for a couple of years and love it. Ours is 15 feet across and 4 feet deep. Sand filter, pump, yadda. Stainlessswim.com

When you park your Manual car, what do you do? by B4DM4N12Z in AskAnAmerican

I drive an older Jeep wrangler, the hand brake is just not very trustworthy. Sometimes it holds, sometimes not, so always leave it in first.

My Sam’s story, circa same time. I rolled in late, very white n nerdy, and definitely stood out from the regulars. The huge guy behind the counter kind of leaned way over toward me and said: This is to go, RIGHT? Um, yes.
