    Lazy dials were the bane of my childhood. Seriously, I remember being annoyed by phone numbers with lots of 0's and high numbers in them, like 878-9000.

Remember that year when it had more Nog than other years, and Calliope was the Christmas tree?   Neither does Calliope. Those tortured Christmas Eve's with Uncle Buster and Aunt Billie.
