Woo-HOO!

A buddy of mine sang "Born This Way" Karaoke-style with a Down Syndrome voice the other night. Yes, tasteless and insensitive ... but the entire bar was in tears from laughing. Comedy stuff of legends.

-Definitely will add the badge.

Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
