Most...Yeah, that's pretty core to the concept. Most of the folks who give me static about the landline either (a) live in an apartment, and are (b) single. In which case, sure, it makes sense to only have the one line. But trying to explain to someone that calling your wife is just as useful as calling you when they aren't married? Does not compute.<br /><br />The only villains so far are The Joker and Mr. Freeze, I think. Villains kids and their parents know about. I'd expect if these sell, we'll see Lex and Zod for Superman.

That way someone that just needs one of the two of you can call that number. I'd probably use a Google Voice number and some forwarding to make it happen if I ever tie the knot or what-not.<br /><br />I might have to get one of these guys for my nephew. It doesn't seem they have released any "villians" yet though...at least they don't seem to have them on Amazon.Paul Tooheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825188545337017642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-83318435450190668492012-08-19T23:44:31.248-05:002012-08-19T23:44:31.248-05:00As is mine.

I am often surprised at the gnashing of teeth when I explain that I am easier to reach, in general, via my landline than my iPhone as (a) I don't always hear my iPhone and don't always keep it near me (as you know, I live in a 2-story place), (b) I have bad reception inside my house no matter the carrier, and (c) you can reach Jamie or myself via the landline. Also (d) we have phones scattered throughout the house and can get to one in seconds. <br /><br />And because its tied to the cable, caller ID tells us who is calling right on the tube. Pretty nice.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-50438845715826395972012-08-19T22:06:50.233-05:002012-08-19T22:06:50.233-05:00I have a landline, granted it's through the ca...I have a landline, granted it's through the cable company.RHPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617999946778955502noreply@blogger.com
