The FS1 Schedule for tonight, which has Mariners-Blue Jays Game 2 and the postgame for that followed by Wake Up Barstool, a morning show that is “watched” by people waiting in line at an airport Auntie Anne’s

I can see pointing being first and shouting developing as umps wanted to add flourish, but I can also see shouting being first and pointing being required because come on man don’t make us try to discern your grunts

even more surprising - everyone's phone number was also their social security number. you had a whole book that was Identity Theft made easy but we were having too much fun to even think of trying that.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?

I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
