Dan, I think you need a tight wire for this to work :o) Very clever idea.

sue anne		17-Jun-2008 10:11
Can you hear me now? Good memories of this as a kids. :)

virginiacoastline		16-Jun-2008 15:05
looks like you have a weak connection

Malcolm Smith		14-Jun-2008 20:13
LOL, nice idea.

Guest		14-Jun-2008 19:58
Brings back memories of my childhood. Good idea for the challenge.

Phillip Normanton		14-Jun-2008 10:31
Ah, the ol Mk1 :)

Guest		13-Jun-2008 23:45
You're just stringing us along ..........;-)

Guest		13-Jun-2008 21:16
Great work, you look like a DJ and lol @ ican...maybe the kids will do it via "string subtraction" can2can....?

Guest		13-Jun-2008 16:59
That is too funny. We used to do that when we were youngins. I wonder if kids still do that? Nah, they probably used old bag phones or the "brick" phones

Alida Thorpe		13-Jun-2008 12:11
I remember trying to get this to work. The secret is "tension" in the line. Nice shot.

Nancy Lobaugh		13-Jun-2008 03:15
going backwards in time???

Lee G		13-Jun-2008 02:30
The new i-phone? You have expensive taste, Dan! :o)

Mike Stobbs		13-Jun-2008 01:33
Way cool Dan.....

Robin Reid		13-Jun-2008 00:31
I had the same idea ... just didn't shoot it.

Guest		13-Jun-2008 00:29
Haha...I remember those! Can you hear me now??

Elizabeth Burns		12-Jun-2008 22:48

Nicki Thurgar		12-Jun-2008 20:23

Guest		12-Jun-2008 19:48
I always thought those army boys were backwards Semper fi

Stewart Mitchell		12-Jun-2008 19:26
..pity the string isn't as tight as your excellent framing ;-0

Mair�ad		12-Jun-2008 18:01
Cool. Guess you couldn't say you were going into a tunnell though.

Cindi Smith		12-Jun-2008 16:59
I thought about doing this....you pulled it off...can you hear me now?

papadaka		12-Jun-2008 16:53

Ilana gil		12-Jun-2008 16:42
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end...:)

Guest		12-Jun-2008 16:08
How long does the battery last in that thing? Great shot, even if it is back to front...

Guest		12-Jun-2008 16:00
Old school? I thought that was new iCan

Jola Dziubinska		12-Jun-2008 15:25
Hello, hello, are you there? Can't hear you!!

royalld		12-Jun-2008 14:40
... and the government couldn't eavesdrop on your conversation. (Tech Note: Reception will vastly improve if you tighten the cord.)

Guest		12-Jun-2008 13:57
Great idea! Used to be much more fun to do this than it is to carry around a cell phone!!

Linda Matta		12-Jun-2008 13:55
I was hoping someone would do this! Fantastic!

Ken Duckert		12-Jun-2008 13:44

Timothy Guenther		12-Jun-2008 10:05
String and cans were one of the first things I thought of when I saw the challenge. I'm glad someone used the idea. Good shot.

Dave Hein		12-Jun-2008 07:18
You'll need to get the at-tension of the technician if you want this to work. :)

Guest		12-Jun-2008 07:02
