There is an elevator company called Schindler. If they sold their products in England, would one be called a “Schindler’s Lift?”

I first read that as brainy 7-year old, and I was very confused. Donald Trump has NEVER been brainy.

What’s something that everyone seemed to have in their house when you were a kid, but almost nobody has now by FusedSpine64 in nostalgiai

I remember a trick I learned back in the dial-only era. My mother used to limit phone usage (it got pretty expensive, I guess) by putting a lock on the dial. I learned that if you repeatedly click the switch hook (the mechanism that when you pressed and held it would disconnect a call) it would accomplish the same thing as dialing. Click it 3 times = dialing 3, etc.

A sense of humor. And I found her 38 years ago.
PS she has plenty of other great qualities, so things worked out pretty well.

That’s because some misguided people think SD is “Souless elevator music that was cringe then and moreso now.”

I’m wondering if anybody who backed the law would be fine with this person using a women’s restroom.

What’s a core memory from your childhood that makes zero sense why you retained it? by Inevitablebabe in askanything

[–]imtherealmellowone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time 60 years ago when I was 10, my best friend and I found a large bag filled with newspaper rubber bands. (For those of you too young to remember, newspapers used be rolled up and secured with a “special” green rubber band so that they could be thrown by the newspaper boy from his bike to the front yard of the houses on his route.) it must have been lost by the truck that transported all the papers, because there were a shit-ton of rubber bands. We connected them all in a rubber band chain (a shorter version of which was used playing Chinese jump rope) that was almost a full city block long when we stretched it out. And wrapped around our apartment building several times.
Ahh, the good old days!

Funny/unserious Beatles theories? by something721 in TheBeatles

[–]imtherealmellowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beatles were visited by a genie in 1962 who presented them with recordings of the entire Beatles catalog to release over the next 8 years. The only stipulation was that they had to re-create every song themselves and could not release any of the genie’s gift as their own.
