Exploring American History, Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Class today featured one of the teachers on their phones with Portalocity as they'd been dumped in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Was Tony getting anywhere with customer service? No. No, he wasn't.
"No, don't put me on hold again!" Aaaand he was on hold again. "Sorry, guys. Just a little snafu."
That left the naturally more upbeat teacher to smooth this over. "So...welcome to this really big ball of twine!" Steve said enthusiastically. "And not, um, the Grand Canyon."
All while Tony paced behind him and kept on trying. "Hello? Hi, I just need--no, no, no! Why do they keep picking up just to put me back on hold!?"
"Entirely to annoy you," Steve said. "Sorry. So we're in--" he craned his neck to read the helpful sign near the giant string ball, "Cawker City."
He had no idea what state that was in. "In the Midwest," he added, making a guess based on how flat it was around them. "And sometimes people in the United States have very odd ways of passing the time. Like this, the biggest ball of twine, which is an excellent example of a community working together and probably being very bored and cold in the winter."
"Yes, I want to escalate this to a manager!" Tony said, leaning against said ball of twine to dull horror of the employees of the site. "No, not claims, a manager. A manager, yes."
"Do not buy Portalocity," Steve hissed as he walked past his husband. "So explore this piece of Americana and maybe we can come up with something like this we could implement back in Fandom. And then we'll find something to eat."
