    I'm still lost. Is the object of the game to actually pick up the phone booth? Am I just stupid for not figuring out what to do?

    >Enter phone booth.
    The booth is welded shut. Sucks to be you.

    >Punch phone booth.
    Sure, that looks non suspicious, a psychopath attacking a phone booth.

    >Lick phone booth.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Hump phone booth.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >It's "recognize," really.
    You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom.

    >Look around.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

    >Look at phone booth.
    It looks like any other normal phone booth you might see in any other
    normal city, but this one has the words "PHONE BOOTH" scratched out and
    "P#ON3 BOOTH" instead.
    Someone has also added a smiley face under the two OOs in "BOOTH."

    >There's only one "OO," actually.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Look at shoes.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Look inside your heart.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Look up.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

    >Look at sky.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Walk around.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Walk into street.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Walk.
    You'll have which compass direction to go in.

    >Walk north.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk south.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk east.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk west.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk northeast.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk northwest.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk southwest.
    You can't go that way.

    >Walk southeast.
    You can't go that way.

    >Run.
    You'll have which compass direction to go in.

    >Run north.
    You can't go that way.

    >Run sideways.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Stand still.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to stand.

    >Stand.
    But you aren't in anything at the moment.

    >Check pockets.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Cry.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Pick up something.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Pick up phone tooth.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to pick up the phone booth.

    >Get up with the git down.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to get the ceiling.

    >...
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Get the ceiling.
    That isn't available.

    >Get up.
    But you aren't in anything at the moment.

    >Fall down.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Use explosives to crack open phone booth.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Crack open phone booth.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Grab fire extinguisher.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Break open glass.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Climb on top of phone booth.
    You can't see any such thing.

    >Hug phone booth.
    You can only do that to something animate.

    >Animate phone booth.
    That's not a verb I recognise.

    >Look for people.
    I only understand you as far as wanting to look.

    >Look.


    <b>The Town Square</b>
    You are standing in the middle of a pretty town square in the center of a
    nondescript New England town. Like most any other nondescript New
    England towns, there's not much to see or do here, but maybe you'll find something amusing and enjoyable to do.

    A shiny metal phone booth sits in the center of the square.

    >Pick up the phone booth.
    I hate text adventures.

    That's the conclusion I've come to. *shrug*

    Yeah, text adventures are hard. Sometimes, I wish I could just push a phone booth on top of them.

    That's it?

    That is quite possibly the least interesting thing I have ever encountered.

    That's really my hair.

    "Faris, Calvin; you don't seem to understand! This is not a thread about homosexuality! Girls can love Barret! Guys can love Barret! It's not gay! Barret's love is beyond any form of gay-ness. It is transcendent; like the sun and moon and stars! It's like loving God! Would you say a boy who loves God is gay? That's what I thought!

    So please, don't fight. Just spead the love! And the Barret sexyness. RAWR! =D~"

    I pulled the phone booth. And I died. So then I was like, "hey, I'll push it!" So I pushed it, and I won. And then I was left feeling very unsatisfied.

    Why the hell would you want to push over a phone booth? Are you a hooligan or something?
