SONGS
Dialing In It - KP2 and Reign of Error were discussing deaf relay's one day, and Reign of Error commented that someone should do a song using our legally bound friends.

Cactus vs. ATT - ATT's corporate security
department is normally rather beign with dull-witted phone-drones. When KP2
called this time, however, they figured out how to use ANI. We left rather
hastily, anticipating the arrival of burly men employed by the phone company.
Greyhound #1 - The first in the series.
Reign of Error demands a bus to Hawaii. For some reason the rep thinks he
wants to to go Alaska.
Greyhound #2 - Reign of Error, unsatisfied
with the service provided, calls back with some outlandish ideas. He is turned
loose at the end.

KP2 takes a crack. Thanks to a dumber representative, the amusement value
increases.
Greyhound #4 - This is one amazing call.
The rep genuinely has no idea why Greyhound does not run buses from Boston
to Hawaii. Reign of Error then secures a promise from the rep that she will
recommend a bus route to Honalulu to her superiors, and discusses other travel
plans.

way that Michael Bright is not a friendly man.

customer service rep. KP2 managed to cram a number of food products into the
coin return slot during this call.

making collect calls. Orch hits between every call. ORCH

still not picked up his cactus!
Miss B Is Sucking It - KP2's neighbors talk
about nasty, nasty things on their cordless phone.

Longmont Potion Castle bit.

broken!

calls Radio Shack looking for Spell Components (think dungeons and dragons),
and gets increasingly strange as the call progresses.

takes her sweet time dialing, KP2 finds a novel way to entertain himself.
Legacy technology - Harvard is not very receptive
towards Reign of Error's priceless legacy computing platforms.

op really did sing happy birthday.
The hordes - KP2 chats. Oh no, the operator went
spastic!
Tedward Johansen & Cactus - KP2 has an urgent
message for some people!
Besmirching Linda - KP2 didn't forget Linda. Did
you? She's the one that threatened to trace KP2's call to ATT CorpSec. HER

Serenande - This op is not in a romantic mood.
