Hey, I know that we’re supposed to be fighting ignorance over here, but every now and then it’s fun just to, y’know…poke it a little. My friend was being bothered by a random person he didn’t know IM’ing him, so, rather than just ignore her/him/it, we decided to have some fun with them. He told me their sn, and I proceeded to toy with their puny, typing-impaired mind: Jester: Help! They’re after me! fbrkwarrior55: hello who the heck are you Jester: You gotta HELP ME!!! fbrkwarrior55: who are you and I’ll helpp Jester: No time for formalities! Jester: They’re coming! fbrkwarrior55: bye Jester: But the MIDGETS are after me!! Jester: HElp!!! fbrkwarrior55: ok who are you man Jester: Their small hands are pinching my flesh! Jester: Ouch! fbrkwarrior55: or are you a girl Jester: Now they’re biting me! Jester: I can’t take it! fbrkwarrior55: who are you Jester: For the love of all that’s good and holy, HELP ME!!! fbrkwarrior55: who are you or your goin to have some warning leval Jester: I’M SORRY I thought you were oompa-loompas! I just wanted some candy! Jester: Argh!!! fbrkwarrior55: who are you man Jester: Fine, you want some, midget-boys? Jester: HUH?! fbrkwarrior55: you piss me off more you’ll die Jester: YOU WANT SOMMA DIS?! WELL STEP OVER THE LINE!!! Jester: STEP!!! Jester: BRING IT, BIZNATCH!! Jester: Yeah, that’s right, I got my BAT now! fbrkwarrior55: who is biznatch Jester: Whatchoo want? Jester: Huh? Jester: Whatchoo want?! Jester: \ fbrkwarrior55: who are you fbrkwarrior55: what is your name Jester: Dat’s right, you RUN, midget’s you RUN, or next time I’ll get out da SUPER-SOAKER!! And you don’t want NONNA DAT!! Jester: \ Anyway, where were we? Jester: Oh, yeah, I was puttin on my moves, all slick-like. Jester: \ Hey baby, what’s your sign? fbrkwarrior55: who are you Jester: \ Why, whatever do you mean? fbrkwarrior55: like I said again A/S/L Jester: I just lookin for some luvin, hun. It’s fun. Jester: Hee hee, that rhymes. Jester: Errrr…I mean, uhhhh…\ Me MAN. Jester: You…WOO-Muhn? Jester: Hello? Jester: Where WOO-Muhn go? Jester: \ Jester: \ Jester: \ Okay, well, it was amusing to ME, anyway, and gave me something to do. Also, it got my “Warning lever” on AIM up to %35. I don’t have AIM, and thus have no idea what a “Warning level” is, but I can take a few guesses, and hey, frankly, I’m proud. Frightened of myself, but proud nonetheless. ---

Erp. I have no clue what a warning level is either, so don’t worry. Actually I’m a little turned on, and a little terrified, but those two emotions cancel each other out. Muhaha. 🙂 No, but really I do the same thing with this guy. Yeah he emailed me and said that my “profile was gay.” (How Douglas Adams has homosexual tendencies, I’ll never know.) This guy is a real “homie” right, so I toy with him…I like telling him I’m really a vampire who died thirty or so years ago at the Altamount concert. Once I tried to go off on a philosophical concept…🙂 I’m not sure how you fought ignorance today…But that’s okay. Right? ---

That sounds like something I did once… I was bored so I went into a Romance chat and when I started getting all those PMs from people I started to chat with one. I told him I was a faery with wings and everything and he asked me questions and stuff. I had him convinced either: A I was a faery B I was high on something C I was crazy and really believed I was a faery That was quite fun actually… maybe I should try it again sometime… ---

A warning level is the self-policing system in the AIM world. It does 2 things: 1) lets other people know that you bugged at least one person enough to warn you and 2) if the level gets too high, the rate at which you can send IMs slows down… eventually stopping until it “wears off” ---

Cool, thanks Opal. Well, I guess that until it “wears off”, I’ll wear it as my own little badge of honor. I earned that %35, galdernit! Thanks again! ---

I wish there waqs a way to do the warnings on the built-in IM…I keep getting idjits saying “a/s/l?”, after they call me by my name, and sometimes even come right out and SAY they’ve read my profile…then WHY IN THE BLUE F\*\*\* ARE THEY ASKING A/S/L? IT’S ALL IN MY PROFILE! (sorry 'bout the scream) I wish I could prevent these SASOBs from bothering others…my standard response is: Me: Do I know you? Them: No Me: then why are you talking to me? They don’t get a chance to respond to that :). Sometimes I’ll throw in a “mommy told me not to talk to strangers” before I close the IM window, just for variety. Next time, though, I think I will screw with their mind, especially if it’s a repeat offender (yes, it happens). Note to SDers: feel free to IM me, just be sure and tell me who you are right up front, or you will get the worst mindf\*\*\*ing you’ve ever received 😃 ---

That was great. Kind of reminds me of when one of my friends (at the time) girlfriend hacked onto his account and started IMing people. This girl is a complete idiot and we all took great pleasure in making fun of her. ---

About three years ago, when Heckler’s Online was part of AOL, they did something called “Random IMs” which were MUCH better than [Baiting.org](http://Baiting.org)’s could ever dream of. They could give you instantaneous cancer they were so funny. –Tim ---
