Sometime over the weekend, Verizon added and turned on a new feature on my phone called "advanced calling".
I don't like it.
(and yes, I've already turned it off).

Weelllll, what is Advanced Calling???
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
|
|
|
|
|
Just watch that they don't charge you extra for advanced calling exception services.

it looks to be "advanced features" for HDef voice and video mail.
I'd rather be phishing!

What is Advanced Calling?

It gives you "HD" calling, which changes the way it sounds. I didn't like the change.

What, no intermediate calling option?

Don't tell me, they've implemented tail call optimisations?

Oi Griff! Hobbits are Shire fantasy.
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|
|
|
|

I think you Took me too seriously: If you Burrows into the literature you find this is only a Gamgee, and anyway Hobbits are only a Proud Foot wide so they are easy to miss!

Some are several Proud Feet wide... or should that be Proud Foots?

This has The Ring of truth to it - but it's not that exciting.
Mithril is from weirder events. For example, the other day I was Shire I Saruman barefoot, with hairy toes.

With one Tolkien ring to bind them?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Tolkien Ring is so outdated; you should be using Ethereal Net!

May I remind you that the people of the Shire distrust new things?

Nice one!
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
