“See the TURTLE of enormous girth, on his shell he holds the earth. If you want to run and play, Come along the BEAM today…” I think I finally figured out what the OP bot is on about… -XT ---

I had [misremembered](http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=12393800511336609949) how it went…apologies: [QUOTE=Roland Of Gilead, last Gunslinger] See the TURTLE of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth. His thought is slow but always kind; He holds us all within his mind. On his back all vows are made; He sees the truth but mayn’t aid. He loves the land and loves the sea, And even loves a child like me." [/QUOTE] -XT ---

Lemur866: You look down and see a tortoise, Spooky Sprite. It’s crawling toward you… Spooky Sprite: Tortoise? What’s that? Lemur866: You know what a turtle is? Spooky Sprite: Of course! Lemur866: Same thing. Spooky Sprite: I’ve never seen a turtle. (pause) But I understand what you mean. Lemur866: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Spooky Sprite. Spooky Sprite: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Lemur866? Or do they write 'em down for you? Lemur866: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Spooky Sprite: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I’M NOT HELPING? Lemur866: I mean you’re not helping! Why is that, Spooky Sprite? Lemur866: They’re just questions, Spooky Sprite. In answer to your query they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. (pause) Shall we continue? ---

You know, we really need a Sporty Sprite and a Posh Sprite and a few others, and then we can start making hit records. We’d need a Ginger Sprite, too, but I think they already call that Ginger Ale. ---
