Julia:  "We don't have time for this, Eliot!  Just show us what that is.  We don't know what a pea-dee-eff printed off  from an a-oh-ell website is!"

     Oh, the good old days of AOL! Or should that be AOHell?!

Julia: "Yes, Eliot, I know how much you treasure those naked pictures of Joe Haskell but they may prove to be pivotal in averting the destruction of Collinwood."

       One can only imagine how...

    Oh, the good old days of AOL! Or should that be AOHell?!

Remember those days, MB?  Click on AOL link, press enter.  Gzhhggzzhhgggaahhh - beep, beep, beep.  Press "keep dialing."  Beep, beep, beep.  Over and over again.  Go watch something on TV until you finally heard "ring, ring."  "Welcome.  You have mail."  And when you tried to download something, it would take forever, and just two-seconds from being finished, it would all crash.  And today's millenials complain when they cant get a snapchat photo on their smarphones instantly.  I'd love to toss a rotary phone at them and see how they would deal with it.
