Transcript: 'completely scientifical'
Everyone needs some Monday morning humor. Unsurprisingly, mine came from yet another Huntsville-area native who felt the need to be, well, inane.
I admit it. I'm old school. I post a link to my website in my profile. If you haven't even looked at it prior to contacting me, it's going to show. Questions like "how are you?" are questions that will be honestly answered if they're asked by a friend. "How are you?", when asked as an opening gambit because you don't know anything else about me, virtually guarantees that you've gotten off on the wrong foot.
In a couple of cases, I've preserved a bit more of the conversation than I normally do - including dates, to see that this wasn't the first time this guy tried to contact me.
| mstrplsr4u: | (Fri Nov 08 12:22:43 2002) hello, how are you? |
| me: | Fine, thanks. I'm in the middle of a lot of work today; today isn't a good day to chat. Sorry. |
| mstrplsr4u: | maybe another time then? |
| me: | *** Auto-response sent to mstrplsr4u: I'm in the house. Somewhere. Doing something. It might even be interesting. You never know. |
| mstrplsr4u: | im me sometime |
| me: | *** Auto-response sent to mstrplsr4u: I'm in the house. Somewhere. Doing something. It might even be interesting. You never know.

| mstrplsr4u: | (Mon Nov 18 09:49:14 2002) hi, how are you? |
| me: | Oh, it's Monday, so I was thinking of growing a third leg or arm. Something to ease the monotony. |
| mstrplsr4u: | good idea! |
| mstrplsr4u: | i am counting all the bees in the hive and chasing clouds from the sky |

| me: | So why are you contacting random people via yahoo? |
| mstrplsr4u: | it is not random |
| mstrplsr4u: | completely scientifical |
| mstrplsr4u: | why are you responding to complete strangers? |
| me: | Because more often than not, their responses are inane enough to post on my website. Leads to great laughter and much mocking amongst my friends. |
| mstrplsr4u: | can you not find better things to do than make fun of other people? |
| me: | Well, considering that they've all been males who seem to think that my life is so desperately unfulfilled that I'll be interested in being hit on by some nameless, faceless stranger….yeah. |
| mstrplsr4u: | your lack of esteem for the male of the species and the utter contempt in your tone makes it apparent you are not really interested in carrying on an intelligent conversation with someone who could provide new horizons in your young life…I wish you well in your attempts to dis the other men who make the mistake of iming you…thank you for your precious time |
| me: | Good. Check my website in a few minutes. You'll be today's main course. Good luck trolling.
*** mstrplsr4u has been ignored. |
All good Yahoo conversations seem to end with that phrase: '[so-and-so] has been ignored.'
So. Maybe I should take a poll here about my lack of esteem for the male species. Jeff? Jeremy? Sean? Geof? Rick? Tim? jowilson? Andrew? Andy? Matthew? Stephen? Brad? Will? Jody? Noah? Thomas? Danno? How's my esteem comin'? Do we need to work on some esteem issues? If there are deficiencies or just general issues, I guess y'all could come over before we head out to Tuesday night's movie. I'll make you dinner - and, if you ask nicely, I'll make you cookies. :)
Yes, the ooey-gooey chocolate chip kind.
(Ask Domesticat will return later today. In the meanwhile, today's special phrase is "Bourgeois pig!" Use it after a 'shave-and-a-haircut' knock and the secret door will open…)
