IronMeet

7th June 2025

As I touched down in the Sahara Desert, right beside the suspiciously underwhelming entrance to Zargoid 5’s presumably terrible centre-of-the-earth mine, I was pleased to see my Magma Ship, shipped separately, of course, being unloaded from a truck nearby. Just in time.

Zargoid 5 was standing by the entrance and reached out with open arms and a big smile on his metallic face. It was clear, to me, that his intention was to crush my human body in his robotic arms, but I was too smart for that and merely high fived him on each hand. He looked slightly disappointed by my foiling his plans and turned to show me into his mine.

As we entered his mine I saw that his team had made some very good progress, I wanted to explore the mine and check for myself so I got my trusty Magma Ship lowered onto a nearby liquid Magma stream and set off to explore. I was surprised that Zargoid 5 was fine with me just setting off. Suspicious. I sailed along for a while until something suddenly totally surprised me…

It was a liquid magma waterfall of such height that must mean they had made very significant progress into the centre of the earth. Not surely as much as we had, but getting close. I immediately needed to call back to my team and tell them to redouble their efforts. Of course, you, or even Zargoid 5 might use a boring laptop to make your video calls, but I can do one better than that, I use IronMeet.

I had of course packed my IronMeet with me for the journey home, where I would need to iron all my freshly repaired clothing. I therefore pulled out my IronMeet and dialled the team back home, told them what to do and hung up. All very straightforward, so what is an IronMeet? It’s a classic Iron for clothes with inbuilt video conferencing facilities.

Do you waste valuable time while Ironing not conducting work meetings? Of course you do, but I don’t, because I IronMeet. Now I’ll admit that the camera does have to refocus a lot while you move the Iron back and forth on top of a shirt… but that just adds to the experience. Why just meet when you can IronMeet? Get yours today!

Note to self: I felt bad that I didn’t Iron anything while on the call on the Magma Ship, potentially consider adding a chamber of backup crumpled clothes for emergencies like this.
