- donnachangstein 1y agoThey would also remember there is a man with a cape in a phone booth that could be called upon to stop this thing.
- greggsy 1y agoNo, the Six Million Dollar Man stopped it
- CobrastanJorji 1y agoThat's a super idea, but sadly Underdog is fictional.

- dreamcompiler 1y agoRaise your hand if you remember phone booths.
- rbanffy 1y agoCan't. My back hurts.
- bunderbunder 1y agoI was in one a few weeks ago.
- alabastervlog 1y agoIt's been so long since those could reliably be found, that even the 1978 Superman movie has a gag about it (Clark steps up to one of those stand-style payphones, briefly looks befuddled, then runs into door turnstile instead, super-speed changing while it spins)
- RetroTechie 1y agoBonus points if you've used those equipped with a rotary dial.
- AStonesThrow 1y agoThe other week, I was dining at the Old Spaghetti Factory, and their lobby is impressive for classic furniture and cool stuff on display, including a Donkey Kong and a (nominally) Ms. Pac-Man cabinet, and some "Fragadas Españolas" models. There was also a bona fide telephone booth in there, in wood and glass, and I absolutely went nuts, actually needing to place a phone call. But I couldn't quite figure out whether it would open and admit me, or if customers were supposed to be fiddling with it at all, or whether it was only a showpiece. So that exploration will wait until the next time I drop by.
