Is that an actual transcrpit? I must say, I laughed my ass off at that. But what really scares me is that I’ve been to that site before. I can’t remember why, though. It’s certainly not the sort of site I usually visit.

Opal,

I have no idea why you got picked, but his site is clearly a joke, and I think that the IM exchange must have been a joke as well.

I linked to it, thought “wow, that’s pretty bad.” The more I looked, the more I thought that it was too awful to be serious.

I then clicked through to the master site [http://www.somethingawful.com](http://www.somethingawful.com) , and saw that it’s a site that jokes about truly hideous websites. Jeff K., insane, drooling lab chimp that chose you to IM, seems to be one of their house characters. If you click on the “spam” you can see they try to start conversations with folks to put on the site.

My feeling was that it was a joke also, (though I never went to the site) because it was so over the top, however I get a LOT of these and they aren’t all put ons. Usually on ICQ, and generally from middle eastern men. It’s really odd. The ratio of middle eastern to american people who ICQ me is around 10-1.

Nevertheless, you have to agree it’s quite painful.

Upon looking at my ICQ messages that collected over the night I find these:  
hi!  
would you like to make cybersex with me?  
or trade our photos?

HI I AM LOOKING FOR A SEXY GIRL FRIEND ARE YOU?  
I AM A HANDSOME BOY IF YOU ARE A BEATIFUL GIRL YOU CAN SEE MY PICTURE AND WE WILL BE GOOD FRIENDS  
and it just goes on and on… day after day! AIIIEEEE!

Some of the mail I get is pretty odd too. [http://fathom.org/opalcat/letters](http://fathom.org/opalcat/letters)

Oh, **Opal** , I feel your pain. In my case, it’s either desperate sleazy gay men (“AGE? LOC? STATS? LOOKING?”) or, my personal favorite, 13-year-old girls or their pouseurs (“Hi! I live near you! How old are you?”)

Oy. Gives me a headache.

Oh, and [somethingawful.com](http://somethingawful.com) was mentioned in another thread, I think in MPSIMS, but I don’t remember the thread name. I remember going to it and was blown away by its sheer idiocy.

Once, ages ago, before I figured out that you could turn off chat invitations on Compuserve forums, I was in the Parenting sub-section of a sort of “Special Interests” forum that included everything from Conservative politics to musical singing circle group discussions. Anyway, anyone on the main forum could invite anyone else to chat, but I was holding a puking, feverish one month old and desperately seeking information from fellow parents at around 1 am while waiting for the on-call pediatrician to phone back.

Anyway, this guy broke in with:

Him: HEY YOU GIRL? (Great opener)  
I typed: Sorry, very busy, can’t talk now.

He attempted to describe my breasts and what he’d like to do with them in extremely broken English, and when I ceased to respond, typed,

“Lesbian!” and immediately signed off.

I must say, I was very impressed that he spelled _that_ correctly.

Why do you suppose so many guys seem to use IM to make irresistable invites like “HI I AM LOOKING FOR A SEXY GIRL FRIEND ARE YOU?  
I AM A HANDSOME BOY IF YOU ARE A BEATIFUL GIRL YOU CAN SEE MY PICTURE AND WE WILL BE GOOD FRIENDS,” I mean, does this EVER work?

Or maybe it’s like telemarketing, 94% tell you to go to hell, but 6% might take you up on it?

Sadly, if the Internet has proven one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s that there are a lot of lonely, horny people out there. Before the days of Dialpad, my girlfriend and I used to talk on NetMeeting. Despite the fact of putting “Friends and family only” in her “info”, people (guys) still tried to call her while she was on a server. What’s particularly irritating is that often many of these guys would have “NO MEN, WOMEN ONLY” or “NO GAYS” in their infos. So, it’s alright for them to bother my girlfriend, who has clearly stated she only wants to talk to people she knows, but God forbid a gay person should try and call one of them. Losers.

Opal, _believe me_, it is NOT just you. I have my share of these. Some of my favorites:

Cyberboy619: hi wana chat im 14 and i was delighted by your profile  
Cyberboy619: does that mean no  
Lrconaway: You’re a kid. If you need help with homework, let me know. Otherwise, I think it’s best to chat with those your age.  
Cyberboy619: right  
Cyberboy619: good by miss conservitive  
Lrconaway: Wow. How about I help you with your spelling: “Goodbye miss conservative.”  
Cyberboy619: oh no i made a bobo  
Cyberboy619: kiss my (_!_)  
Lrconaway: LOL…a boo boo?

And another (warning, I get pretty gross–I was trying to repulse him and make him go away. Didn’t work, but playing really stupid did):  
HtgAirGuy2: do ou ever not wear panties to class  
Lrconaway: Sure. 8 year olds love teachers who dress like hookers. Ripped fishnets, smeared bright red lipstick; yep, I go for the streetwalker look. Studies show it increases learning, after all.  
Lrconaway: And of course, I sport STDs, just to make the picture all the more complete and accurate.  
HtgAirGuy2: i was just curious because i know i tried my best to look when i was in school  
Lrconaway: Well, it’s nice you tried.  
HtgAirGuy2: so what do you look like  
Lrconaway: Well, it depends on if the herpes is in remission. When it acts up, the blisters tend to rub together and pop, and of course, with no panties, the juice just drips down my leg, leaving little drops on the floor.  
HtgAirGuy2: nasty lol  
Lrconaway: And the genital warts don’t help any, but I figure, when you’re going for the hooker look, everything needs to be realistic.  
HtgAirGuy2: stop your making me sick i get it you dont like talking about this  
Lrconaway: Gee, I thought you wanted to know.  
Lrconaway: You’re the one who asked a complete stranger if she went without underwear in an elementary classroom. Thought I’d just give you what you’re looking for.  
HtgAirGuy2: and then some by the way im rich and you are sick i allready know lol  
Lrconaway: Oh yes, I can tell by your brilliant wit and eloquence that you are a man of great intellect. I’m guessing you’re a grammarian, or some sort of expert on the English lexicon.  
Lrconaway: Your wealth is a natural result of such skill.  
HtgAirGuy2: no im a business owner thats always horny  
Lrconaway: Horny? Just take the damn viking hat off, then. Horns are usually removable.  
HtgAirGuy2: do you have a picture  
HtgAirGuy2: lol  
Lrconaway: I have several on the walls in here. I mean, I have albums full of pictures.  
HtgAirGuy2: that you can send  
Lrconaway: Well, I can send them, but it’s expensive postage-wise, and they can get damaged in the mail. I just like to keep them in the albums.  
Lrconaway: And the pictures on the wall–golly, the frames would break in transport. Why would you want one of them, anyway?

And one more. A little lengthy, but this guys typifies the mentality I encounter the most. This was back in the day (at least two years ago) when I would bother trying to talk to these freaks. BTW, his opening comment is in reply to something that was in my profile–“I don’t cyber. Give up now.”

Prozacbro3: cant give up…=)  
Lrconaway: it is advisable  
Prozacbro3: hhehe…and why is that?  
Prozacbro3: you deadly?  
Lrconaway: no.  
Prozacbro3: then why should i give up? =)  
Lrconaway: I just don’t cyber.  
Lrconaway: Period.  
Prozacbro3: hehhe

Prozacbro3: not interested in cybering  
Prozacbro3: too hi tech for me  
Prozacbro3: =)  
Lrconaway: Well, then, why are you saying you won’t give up? On what?  
Prozacbro3: i thought you said to give up up…everything besides the cyber  
Lrconaway: well, considering I am in a serious committed relationship, there is nothing that will happen in that direction, either.  
Prozacbro3: heheh…lots of thing can happen between now and then  
Lrconaway: Not in this case.  
Prozacbro3: hmm…  
Prozacbro3: what if i am a millionare?  
Lrconaway: See my profile: Give up now.  
Prozacbro3: well, what if i do ?  
Prozacbro3: have that much?  
Lrconaway: then hooray for you. It makes no difference to me.  
Prozacbro3: are you just saying that?  
Lrconaway: Not in the least.  
Prozacbro3: you dont think that everyone has a price?  
Lrconaway: I don’t know about everyone. Just me. And him.  
Lrconaway: Money is insignificant.  
Lrconaway: It can be replaced. Easily.  
Lrconaway: I can’t.  
Lrconaway: And neither can he.  
Prozacbro3: that’s cuz you’re doing fine…but what if you’re in a desparated situation?  
Lrconaway: I am not a whore. I cannot be bought.  
Prozacbro3: hmm…you seem to trust him too much  
Prozacbro3: didnt say that you’re one

Lrconaway: No such thing.  
Prozacbro3: just said that …given a situation…where you meet a millionare…hmmm you wont be tempted?  
Lrconaway: Why? Just because he has money?  
Lrconaway: That’s obscenely offensive to me.  
Lrconaway: I happen to work with low-income families and impoverished children.  
Lrconaway: If anything, I would be more predisposed to find an encountered millionaire suspect.  
Prozacbro3: and you wouldnt be?  
Lrconaway: Listen carefully: No.  
Prozacbro3: heheh…  
Prozacbro3: then why are you soo pissed off?  
Lrconaway: I’m not pissed off. I’m just repeating the truth. Over and over.  
Prozacbro3: hmm…that’s what you say now  
Lrconaway: That’s what I’ll say later.  
Lrconaway: Period.  
Lrconaway: Only a fool would find someone attractive based solely on the thickness of that person’s pocketbook.  
Lrconaway: I see I’ve silenced you.  
Prozacbro3: no lost your screen  
Lrconaway: ah.  
Prozacbro3: re read your profile…saw that you’re a third grade teach  
Lrconaway: Yep.  
Prozacbro3: that’s where all your morals come to use  
Lrconaway: All of them? No. Some of them? Sure.  
Prozacbro3: hope you dont brainwash too many…lol  
Lrconaway: Morals are amazingly versatile. They can be used in a variety of situations, not just teaching.  
Prozacbro3: my IM friend thinks …money can buy things too  
Lrconaway: well, hooray for your IM friend  
Lrconaway: there are several people who believe that.  
Lrconaway: And the people who believe that are the ones who can be bought.  
Lrconaway: I, however, do not believe in it. Therefore, I cannot be bought.  
Lrconaway: Frankly, I am priceless. And priceless people can’t be bought. 😉  
Prozacbro3: well, continue this conversation with britzbro…i gotta …take off…he thinks you’ll wake up one day  
Lrconaway: That’s more than I would think of him.
