My classic orange 'n grime colored TS-22 is broken. It makes me sad seeing it in my "probably can't be fixed" pile.

I really can't justify replacing it, however, because I no longer have any POTS lines in my house, or office, nor have I run into one in this millennium. It's like an analog TV set at this point.

I would totally buy a black Badtz Maru one, though.

Badtz Maru. Ba da tsu Ma ru. Baadaatsu Maru. Badass Maru. Bad Ass Maru.

I hear you singing in the wire.
I can hear you thru the whine.
And the Akihabara Lineman,
is still on the line.
