An AIM conversation I had (and saved) a couple of years ago with my brother. I think it’s pretty darn funny in places, but then I’m a little biased. “R” is me, “J” is my older brother, and “E” is one of my younger brothers. “D” is J’s old college roommate. The “quiz” is a sample program he worked up, with questions about Spongebob Squarepants. :dubious:
If anyone else thinks this is humorous, I have several more conversations saved. If people just think it’s dumb, well, keep it to yourself.
I’ve edited some things for clarity’s sake, but what you see is for practical purposes what we said that day.
3/18/02
R: You there?
J: Hey.
J: You still on?
R: Been sleeping?
R: College stuff, you know?
J: I was eating dinner.
R: Ah.
R: Very good.
J: Who is this?
R: It’s Ryan.
J: What a surprise.
J: Did you guys do my quiz thing?
R: Yes. I was not impressed.
J: Bah.
J: Always a critic.
R: I scored a four, out of a possible four.
R: Not bad.
J: It’s a masterpiece.
J: Just wait.
J: I’m overhauling the questions.
J: I’m looking into the Powerpuff Girls.
R: I noticed a glitch, also.
J: A glitch?
J: Where?!
R: After I got the first question RIGHT, and then I got the second question RIGHT. . .
R: It congratulated me for “finally” getting one right.
R: Slacking off, eh?
J: Uh, Ryan…
J: It’s not a glitch.
J: sigh
J: It’s a work in progress.
R: Sure. . .cover it up.
J: What a loser.
J: So.
J: What’s for dinner?
R: Pesto.
R: The green stuff.
J: Made with cilantro?
R: I don’t know. I’ll have to check.
J: Ok, you do that.
R: No.
J: Whose game is better, mine or E’s?
R: I’d say they’re even.
J: Did he just copy mine and change the text?
R: His is a Super Bowl quiz. . .
J: Yes, I know.
R: Oh, okay then.
J: Hence the “change the text” portion of the question.
R: No, I don’t think he did.
J: Good.
J: Hrm.
J: E’s quiz is somewhat better than mine.
J: Tell him to send me the source code.
R: He doesn’t count up the ones you get right though.
J: Huge big.
J: Nope.
R: He does have a medal at the end.
R: That’s good.
J: I have no medal.
J: Maybe for SpongeQuiz 1.1
R: Ahaha, I had the second worst medal.
J: I had the best medal.
R: I thought it was a torpedo or something though.
J: I cheated.
R: Gasp.
J: No, no, no.
J: Gah.
J: Gasp
R: Excuse me.
J: You can’t say “gasp”.
R: I don’t have to take this.
R: My pesto is waiting.
J: You know what?
J: You suck.
R: Yes, sir.
J: Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
J: Hah.
R: I refuse.
J: It’s all over but for the crying.
R: Have a fun!
J: A monkey could have told me that.
R: Is that a compliment?
J: Only in France.
R: I see.
J: Bake thyne eyes in Tabasco!
R: It shall be.
J: So it shall.
J: Forth!
J: To the pesto!
J: Tally ho!
J: I walked in yesterday…
J: And D was like…
J: “If you have any friends stay over, they won’t have to sleep on the floor.”
J: And I was like…
J: YES!!!
J: He’s leaving!
R: Excellent.
J: And he was like…
J: “Yeah, I got this army cot. They can sleep on that.”
J: And I was like…
J: You suck.
J: And then he wanted to show me how to use the cot.
J: Like it takes special skillz to use a cot.
R: Ahaha, cot skillz, ahaha.
J: I am mad funny.
R: m@d f00ny, you mean?
J: Crazy supo-funki fly tizight!
R: In the, um, hizouse. . .
J: Stop spacing the freaking elipsis’es.
J: Elipsai?
J: Elipsii?
R: Does it bother you?
J: Elipsae?
R: Do you lose sleep over it?
J: No, I rather enjoy it.
J: I try to minimize my pleasure.
J: I’m living the spartan life.
R: I understand.
J: Just me and my army cot.
R: Yes.
J: I’ve had a revelation…
J: I’m going to start my own show.
J: It’s going to be based on MST3K.
J: I’ll call it Dustin Stupid Theater 17 Thousand.
J: Or 17 Hundred.
R: Okay! Have a fun!
J: It is time for class.
J: Accounting awaits!
