John has all the personality of a dial tone.

Dial-a-Song

The genius method of giving music to the Brooklyn area invented by They Might Be Giants in 1982. Discontinued in 2006 due to technical difficulties, listeners and fans could call the number; [phone], and would hear a song which would update more or less regularly almost every day.

Back in the 90s, sometimes I'd call Dial-a-Song and I'd hear a new song every time. Too bad they don't do it anymore.

dial-up

Slow medium for connecting to the Internet, which some people STILL use because:
1. They can't afford broadband (understandable, unlike the following)
2. They don't know about other ways to connect
3. They've been brainwashed into thinking AOL is number one

I'm surprised dial-up isn't free.

Dial-up Bowl

An area of the United States usually in the southern states where very few people have access to high-speed internet, their only option often being slow ass dial-up.

No online gaming.
Overnight downloads.
No online gaming.
30-minute Wikipedia page wait.
No online gaming.

...It sucks livin' in the Dial-up Bowl...

dial-a-tune

Slang for tech support. Comes from the fact that you usually are put on hold and it plays a musical tune while you wait.

"If you're calling to report a problem, press 1 now."
*Presses one*
"Please hold."
*Song starts*
"Goddamn dial-a-tune!"
