BTW, I've had the same phone number since my family moved to California when I was 4. Everyone tells me that's the only phone number they remember by heart anymore since everyone has changed numbers so many times.
my my.
how melodramatic.
magazines like the one Danny references and the lifestyle that went with them are the reason for the "plague", didn't you hear?
the "plague".
so terrible.
so unfair.
why do bad things happen to good people?
could it be because of lifestyle choices that are the epidemiological version of "Jackass" (you know- Jackass- the stunt and prank show on MTV featuring people performing various dangerous, crude, ridiculous, and self-injuring stunts and pranks....aka the Homosexual Lifestyle)
the "PLAGUE" years....
so long ago.
here's a quiz, Danny (for a sexpert like you it should be easy...)
what percentage of homosexuals had AIDS in 1984?
what percentage do now?
compare and contrast, please.
We have met The Plague.
But as others have noted, finding more out would require actual, you know, reporting and investigation and journalism and stuff. It's much more fun to just wistfully wonder.
Not likely. Back then the prefix of the phone number was a reliable way to know what neighborhood the number was assigned to. 32x was Capitol Hill, Eastlake, the CD, part of Beacon Hill, etc. Eastside numbers had different prefixes (I forget what it was, though).
It's still partially true now but a lot less reliable.
And unfortunately, I have to say that all of my gay friends that were looking to be "broken in" in 1984 are no longer with us, God rest their souls.
...and 3) seem to have no sense of smell.
don't be too sure of that, big guy.
Dan, why did you only look for numbers in the NW? Unless you have a really, really horrible contract, your mobile phone should be able to call anywhere in the U.S. (and probably Canada) for no additional long distance charge. Why didn't you call every number you found in there?
My sig fig and I might disagree...
