Setting: My house, 11:07am.
Background: Pius is taking a vacation from his 3 year travelling vacation and is staying at my house.

(phone on my desk rings)
Me: Hello?
Dude on the phone: Is Pius there?
(I’m confused since the only people that call my land line are telemarketers and the UPS guy with a package)
Me: Who?
Dotp: Is Pius there?
Me: Ohh.. Pius.. yah, um.. sure.. hold on..
(I cover the phone mouthpiece)
Me (yells): PIUS!!! TELEPHONE!!!!

So yah.. I mean, when was the last time that someone actually called you on your landline to *talk* to someone.. and especially someone other than yourself? I mean when we were kids and stuff, yelling someone’s name for the phone was typical (and today’s kids don’t know that pleasure?)..

Anyway.. as a side note.. I was upstairs, and Pius was down in the living room, so he couldn’t hear me yell.. so I IM’ed him to get the phone. I guess that puts us firmly in the 00s.
