Because I didn't feel like traipsing upstairs to answer the phone, I picked up the receiver on our old wall-mounted rotary phone in the kitchen, so when your robo-lady told me to press 1 or 2 depending on whether I planned to vote for at-large City Council Candidate Doug Bennett, I couldn't, ha ha.
Not sure why that makes me feel so good, but there you are. Sometimes there's value in being a Luddite.

It's a phone that's heavy enough to knock somebody unconscious with.
Hmm...

By the way, the Boston Herald endorsed Carlos Henriquez for 7th District City Councilor over (indicted) incumbent Chuck Turner.

Although because we have two landlines, I was able to answer both ways (are you voting for Doug Bennett or are you undecided) and discover that you get the same response either way.
Bennett- greatest candidate, or the greatest

Come on, didn't you love the Colbert-esque choices?
I'll put you guys down for "plan to vote." Hey, it looks like Doug will win in a landslide.
The worst thing is, he is the hardest working candidate, but every step he takes makes me hate him more.
Sounds like no matter what, Adam heard the point of the message

Sounds like no matter what, Adam heard the point of the message... "Doug Bennett for Councilor At-Large."
I heard it twice...

And it makes me say "Anybody but Doug Bennett for Councilor At-Large." So...yay Doug?
Are you voting for Doug Bennett or are you undecided?

Undecided about voting for Doug Bennett?
Are you voting for Doug Bennett or is this the first you've heard of him?
Are you voting for Doug Bennett or are you interested in land in Florida?
Are you voting for Doug Bennett or is your auto insurance is about to expire.
Are you voting for Doug Bennett or you voting for Ben Dougett?
Ha, ha

I just had to come back here to read this comment. It's the first time I've laughed at a UH comment. I laughed this time, too and spit up my Cheerios! Love it.
Yoon to call everyone at once!

Speaking of calls, I got a postcard yesterday saying that Sam Yoon is going to call me Saturday morning for a "Tele-Town Hall" meeting. Sounds like even a rotary phone will work, they'll just call & connect you to the meeting.
Suppose he's going to call everyone in the city or was I specially selected? There doesn't seem to be a way to opt-out, so I guess you just hang up if you don't want to be part of the call.
