Better cut down there, Smokey!

This was a random AIM conversation I had last night. I showed it to bethje, who was amused by it, so I thought I might as well share it with the rest of y'all.

taj internation: Hello
Fablesto: Hi
taj internation: how r u sir
Fablesto: ok
taj internation: how's going on
Fablesto: How's what going on?
taj internation: life
Fablesto: All right, I guess
taj internation: my self Akash
taj internation: from Taj international
Fablesto: Any relation to Taj Mowry?
taj internation: just this that we are in the city of tajmahal i.e. Agra
Fablesto: The Taj Mahal in India?
taj internation: yes
taj internation: u r right
Fablesto: ok
Fablesto: Is it true that Shah Jahan originally wanted to build a
second Taj Mahal across the lake or whatever?
taj internation: yes
taj internation: in Black marbel
Fablesto: Yeah, I learned that in school
Fablesto: I guess it IS good for something
taj internation: We deals in quality glass smoking products
taj internation: R U INTRESTED IN THAT?
Fablesto: Like smoking jackets?
Fablesto: Or smoking monkeys?
taj internation: NO GLASS SMOKING PIPES
taj internation: BUBLERS, HAMMERS, BONGS ETC
Fablesto: But I want a smoking monkey!
taj internation: HOW'S THAT LOOKS LIKE
taj internation: DO U HAVE A PIC
Fablesto: http://www.greatestjeneration.com/Smoking_Monkey-small-thumb.jpg
Fablesto: It's ludicrously tragic!
taj internation: YAA
Fablesto: YMCA
taj internation: WHERE FROM R U
Fablesto: The United States
Fablesto: That's really close to the New York border
taj internation: ok
Fablesto: No, that's not where I'm from
taj internation: ok
Fablesto: I'm from a galaxy far, far away
taj internation: looks true
taj internation: uranus or satern or planat of apes
Fablesto: The Planet of the Apes was OUR planet
Fablesto: And Uranus and Saturn are in the same galaxy

Incidentally, the line about the New York border was actually part of some unrelated conversation that I sent to this guy by mistake.

Wow. *laughs* Okay, what a fun conversation. It makes me miss getting contacted by random foreigners back in my BBS days.

I love the quick pic of the smoking monkey.

I don't get so many random IM's these days. About a year ago, though, there was some Chinese guy who contacted me on MSN Messenger to try to get me to buy pearls or something.

[onib.livejournal.com]

I wonder if those kinds of people ever actually make any sales my cold-calling...er...cold-IM'ing people like that.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

I doubt it, but at least it's more personal than e-mail spam. I just hope this guy wasn't getting PAID for sending random IM's.

[l8erngr8er.livejournal.com]

That is highly amusing.

[rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com]

The fact that the line about the New York border seems to fit perfectly anyway makes it all the better!

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's weird how that worked out.

[listenesmerelda.livejournal.com]

i always sort of hear typed conversations in my head, so i like imagining that he just starts screaming about bongs in the middle of it.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure why he suddenly switched to ALL CAPS. I guess he thought that would be better for his sales pitch.

[dragonxbait.livejournal.com]

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Ever? You don't think that might be overselling it somewhat? :P

[leolapyre.livejournal.com]

Haha - that was an amusing conversation!

taj internation: uranus or satern or planat of apes

HAHAHA WTF? I love it.
