Back in the (late) 90s, for $10 or so, Elwood would record a customized "you've got mail!" message for you. I had him create one for my (now) wife, using her real first name, as well as her nickname. "Elizabeth, you've got mail!"

That's so awesome!

Oh shit

I set "You've got mail" as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)

RIP, your voice was heard by millions.

You never really think there’s people behind these things.

What a boss.

So we loose this guy but not putin or 'you're fired' guy. If there hasn't been any sign indicating the absence of a god, I don't know what else you would need.

Meanwhile I'll keep searching for"did trump choke on a pretzel today?" On my favorite search engine that doesn't start with G.
