I want to, um, fax you. I just bought a used fax machine at a thrift store and I need to make sure it works. Are any US-ians sitting near a fax machine, and are you willing to receive a test fax? Pretty please?

Okay, this thread can now be about....

Chewing gum.

Carry on.

What's the deal with Spearmint?!

Don't go chewing in bed: you might wake up with it stuck in your head.

Is there a citrus mint gum out there? Like the listerine citrus mint breath freshener strips? Cause I'm addicted to those little orange buggers. Yum.

I had no idea that faxing could be so, um, fulfilling.

Damn kids with all this "free fax" philosophy, just faxing whatever stranger they meet on the internets.

In the old times, you had to exchange business cards, exchange a few telegrams, and then make a call and politely wait for the "fax signal".

The thrill of the conquest is lost.

Ooh, citrus and mint. There are some good citrus/mint toothpastes, too.

Orbit has a mint mojito flavor. Refreshingly lime and minty!

I'll teach you how to fax in the mailroom, honey...

sorry

Reference for jon's comment.

Why do I remember these things?

posted by bmarkey 18 February | 20:59

because you're a rock and roll geek.

posted by jonmc 18 February | 21:14

True enough. I guess a better question is, why do I remember things like that and forget things like birthdays and anniversaries?

DID THE FAX GO THROUGH? I'm dying over here!

posted by SassHat 18 February | 23:14

I don't fax and tell.

posted by danf 19 February | 00:53

SassHat: You must wait approximately nine months for the announcement. Sorry.
