Gilmore Girls: I liked Marty a while back when he looked like he was gonna be all "I don't count as a romantic prospect? Screw you" but he kinda wimped out on that. Logan's way better for the wild oat sowing that Rory so desperately needs to be doing.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, what's up with Ellen? Tell!
up until about 15 years ago, I could make local calls just by dialing the last 5 digits of the number.
Jamaica was like that. I was crushed when we went all 92x-xxxx.
Area codes, area codes: 809, 876 (well, theoretically -- I don't know what the Jamaican area codes where when I was actually domiciled there), 416, something in NY, whatever London was, 514, 313, 504, 734, 248, 810, 323, 310.
Give or take.

-t, I totally agree about the oat sewing. I hadn't realized that Marty ever gave a screw this platonic crap speech. Did he or is that from the end of this episode? I think when I see him on the screen, I sort of glaze over in part because I find him terminally boring even if he does get an occasional zingy line.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
for my whole life, it was 617 for all the towns I've lived in which are now 781,
Not 4 years ago, before I got my cell phone, I spent 20 minutes in Harvard Square trying to call my mother on a pay phone, before I realized that I was dialing the wrong area code. That was one of my first, "these kids today!" moments of adulthood, I think.
(This was a good 8 or so years after the introduction of 781; I just completely forgot.)
I think the other problem with the introduction of 781, aside from the switching problem DX describes, is that they made 781 basically as a ring around 617 (metro Boston). So Salem and Quincy are both in 781, despite being on opposite sides of Boston; and Quincy and Dorchester, which are contiguous, are different codes.
Why, yes, I got into an argument with a telephone operator once about the wrongheaded way that "local calling" is designated in the Boston area, why do you ask?

whatever London was
I had to look up Brussels. I knew the country code but not the city code.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
508 was a ring around Boston, wasn't it?
