I’ve been cataloguing these tapes for months now, and I’m still not sure if Bootstuck is a functioning township or an elaborate performance art piece. This tape starts with something called a "snowman minute"—a unit of time defined by how long it takes to both build and melt a snowman—and somehow drifts into what can only be described as a failed Winter Olympics bid… held in someone's backyard.
There’s talk of a ski hill (five feet high), a chairlift (manual, powered by Caleb), and skis fashioned out of chopped wood and tied to boots with straps. There’s also “top ball” competition, which is apparently snowman-related and definitely not regulated. Eventually the conversation devolves into a series of increasingly frantic declarations about pop tops, bottle caps, and imaginary medals—all shouted with more enthusiasm than clarity.
Oh, and the mayor might be trying to bring Olympic events to town… one at a time… mostly in the basement. With soda. And possibly darts.
I don’t know anymore.
