One time I got an AIM message from a woman I didn't know. very friendly. Too friendly, and the messages she sent had nothing to do with my messages. I knew she was a robot long before she started to cyber-molest me.
At what was no doubt a carefully chosen point, she predictably told me she had to go but I could continue on her webcam site.
This kind of thing makes me want to track down spammers with a stick blender and make Tongue Smoothies out of them.

Nick--
When they start bothering to put real brains on those things, it's gonna get weird.

also: cosmic arkanoid?

sorry, cosmic ark...

You got it! Luckily I can get you a real cookie rather than relying on some lame gag of a script that sets a cookie on your browser...

I was going to say the little creatures from MULE, but they aren't quite right I guess.
--Sarah Tue, 27 Jul 2004 19:35:35 +0000
No but not a bad line of thought!
I've since learned FoSO doesn't actually know the game in question...I think some URL and filename detectivery was afoot!
Still, a deal's a deal and I picked up the cookie this afternoon.

MULE sounds like a game I'd like to try. Any advice on how I can get up to three other people to come to my apartment and play an Atari 800 game?

Pain, and a promise of something to stop the pain, I think, would do the trick, Nick.
