Wow - I totally remember this! Kids would just say, "PIXX, PIXX, PIXX" in rapid-fire mode (probably leaving spittle for the next person in the household to use that handset). The word, "PIXXX" has been emblazoned into my brain for all these decades. Thanks for resurfacing it and for all the cool background info!

That seemed to be the strategy for many kids, and I can't blame them. The unanticipated delay must have been very frustrating.
