I have to save some of these chatlogs with my friend Dave...

[Nev]

I talk to him almost every day over IM (he lives up north from me, in Silicon Valley), and I swear I usually I don't laugh as hard at standup comedy as I do talking to him.

[13:44] nevyn917: anyway to make a long story short when he started losing he got less polite very fast
[13:45] daveweaver2004: hahaha
[13:45] daveweaver2004: yeah, that happens
[13:45] daveweaver2004: you should see how people react to a nuclear strike
[13:45] nevyn917: oh man, he questioned everything from my game skills to my social status
[13:45] daveweaver2004: lots of capital letters
[13:45] daveweaver2004: people do that on XBox LIve, only with voice rather than text
[13:45] daveweaver2004: kind of why I stopped playing
[13:46] nevyn917: http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php?date=2004-06-02
[13:47] daveweaver2004: yes, talking with other gamers has proven not as wonderful as MSFT had thought
[13:47] daveweaver2004: Nigel says there are two groups, "talkers" and "non-talkers," and the two don't like each other
[13:47] nevyn917: i really wish i'd taken a screenshot of that "ask a diablo ii chat room" bit that someone had posted way back when
[13:47] daveweaver2004: UR teh Haxxoorz!!!!!!!!!
[13:48] nevyn917: BUSH IS AN IDOT
[13:48] daveweaver2004: :)
[13:48] daveweaver2004: that's a good one
[13:48] nevyn917: AMERICA IS ALL A BUCH OF REDNEK FASCHISTS WITH RIFLES IN THEIR PIKUP TRUKS
[13:48] daveweaver2004: FACK YOU MAN UR IDOT
[13:49] nevyn917: STFU n00bZORS
[13:49] daveweaver2004: RP7o OOO598XL :P
[13:49] nevyn917: UR TEH FAGOT
[13:49] daveweaver2004: n00B!
[13:50] nevyn917: i'd spam, but that's just as annoying over IM as it is in chat
[13:50] daveweaver2004: that would be awesome to just start typing gibberish and see if people question it
[13:50] daveweaver2004: oh wait, I did try that
[13:50] nevyn917: UR MOM n00B! LOLOLOLOL
[13:50] daveweaver2004: and they rarely do
[13:50] daveweaver2004: I made up new acronyms, such as "MDIY" ("my dick in you!")
[13:50] daveweaver2004: (an Arabic insult)
[13:51] daveweaver2004: or "GTH" for "go to hell"
[13:51] nevyn917: TATS SUPID U N00BZORS I SAY FUK U MUCH BETTER LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
[13:51] daveweaver2004: some would respond with a question mark, and a few would just say something like "cool U2"
[13:51] daveweaver2004: which was absolutely hilarious
[13:52] nevyn917: hahahaha

Then a bit passes chatting about other stuff, and we end like this:

[14:00] nevyn917: anyway you ought to work
[14:00] daveweaver2004: yes, ought to indeed
[14:00] daveweaver2004: l8rz n00b

[14:02] daveweaver2004: wow, you got me there
[14:02] daveweaver2004: later then
[14:02] nevyn917: later man :D

As you may have noticed, we're not fond of some of the people in online chatrooms. :)

Playing with the AOL translator again?

[Nev]

No, I didn't even know there was one, but something tells me my humor quotient for the next few days is about to be fulfilled in one shot. Link?

You don't even need a link, really. Google works for this one.

[Nev]

*h0rgasm* Bless you, Sine, you have no idea how happy I am right now, mostly because Dave and I can riff on this tomorrow for hours of funny if he doesn't decide that damn job of his is more important.

I'm sure you can guess at my test sample from the following output:

IM AN ADUCAETD MAN CAPABL3 OF RATIONAL THOUGHT AND DEP FELNG!!111 WTF

[Manshoon]

You guys should start an Ebay auction. Try and see if you can't get more hits than this guy.

[Nev]

Ah, good times. That waffle auction was one of the greatest auctions ever, right up there for me with the girl who auctioned her virginity off for a few thousand pounds and a hailstorm of media controversy, and the guy who did the same thing and got about $5.50. The kidney might have made it too if eBay hadn't pulled the auction...
