I've got one of the world's purest sources of random right here, and I'm not afraid to use it.
It's been a while since anyone's random chatted me on ICQ. I have a feeling that Trillian users may not show up on the random chat databases or something, but I'm online all the time, and I get my fill of ICQ spam, but very little in the way of random chatting.
So imagine my surprise when I espy the following message popping up:
[12:58] 142394358: Hi, wanna chat? ASL
Do people actually still do that? I'm not sure, but I really object to it. If people want to find out my damn details they can check out my profile entry in ICQ. ASLing someone is so 90s. You just don't do that any more. Even more interesting was the lack of details on this person's profile page.
So, I decided that it was to be a random chat challenge... Standard random chat rules - first one to suck loses.
142394358: Hi, wanna chat? ASL
Jaymis I think so too.
142394358: what is your local time ?
Jaymis: s, but only on every second Saturday.
142394358: why ask someone who wouldn't know??
Jaymis: two dollars a bucket, well stamped down
142394358: sorry :(
Jaymis: what are you trying to do? Your ICQ number isn't coming up in any searches, and you don't have any information in the databases... What have you got to hide?
142394358: you're welcome !
Jaymis: I have more facial hair in reserve than you will ever know madam. Do your worst.
142394358: try not to think about it
Jaymis: I shall try, but only if you promise to afford me the same courtesy
142394358: i'm thinking about it
Jaymis: Don't think too hard, move from the heart on this one.
142394358: ?
Jaymis: !
Jaymis: Stumped? Don't be, put the chainsaw down and join the rest of us. We mean you no harm, only harmony.
142394358: its brand new!
Jaymis: you don't need it.
142394358: i'm not sure
Jaymis: you are yet to bond with it completely, you have the power to stop.
142394358: we have a good drink %)))
Jaymis: is drink the answer to all this? I was expecting something a little less ominous. I'm not sure that you can be saved.
Jaymis: Is that all you've got?
142394358: The anger of lovers is what brings love
together.
Jaymis: the loveliness of anger is what allows love to get heard
142394358: sorry :(
Jaymis: hah
Jaymis: ASL?
142394358: we have a good drink %)))
142394358: no way jose :(
Jaymis: mine's a pint
142394358: i'm so sorry.
Jaymis: Sorry doesn't cut it.
142394358: am i mistaken ?
Jaymis: I don't think so.
Jaymis: I might be wrong though.
142394358: seems to be a good idea : )
Jaymis: What's your opinion?
142394358: what is your local time ?
Jaymis: time to have a sandwhich. but I must decide on toppings, by the time I decide it might no longer be time.
Jaymis: terrible
142394358: its brand new!
Jaymis: I think we've done all we came here to do.
142394358: um I suppose not...
Jaymis: You have been talking to random chatbot #8742903b. Thank you for participating, you've been a great sport.
I think I definitely sucked less. I'm not sure who I was talking to though. Oh well, their loss.
