    I lived in a rural area and the nearest phone for emergencies belonged to one house that lived a quarter mile away.

    The owner of the phone got hooked on WoW on dial-up at some point and basically ended the party line for everyone.

      Squatting on a party-line to play WoW is just a wild pairing of technological eras to me. If we go by the invention date of the former they’re more than a century apart (1878).

      Also: rude!

      That’s amazing. I’m gonna tell my mom that, she’ll love it.
