Some Guy's Blog, Plus Coke and Ikea

Gator — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 09:00:09 -0800

Minor Tweaks. No biggie, it's just some guy's little blog, with some hit-or-miss funny stuff and a few running features that are vaguely reminiscent of McSweeney's. The Ikea Dialogues and the Coke Dialogue are worth a chuckle. Note: Anna and Hank really do talk like that; I encourage you to go and harrass them (click "Ask Anna") yourselves. Start by asking if they're married, and take it from there.

The Coke Dialogue was cute. I like that kind of stuff.

Anna the Ikea-bot is awesome. I've spent the last ten minutes asking her out. She's biting her lower lip a lot...I think that means I'm breaking through her natural shyness.

Using highly advanced cut and paste technology, I just tried to have Anna and the Coke guy converse. Both wound up referring me to customer service. I feel like they told on me or something.

The Anna dialogues are pretty good. I mean, it totally reminds me of playing with Dr Sbaitso back when I got my first Soundblaster, but without the fun of making him pronounce words like "assmunch".

Anna doesn't like to talk about her feelings. But I think she asked me out to a swedish restaurant, and then to get some Tea and or Coffee. Also, she might be chained in a basement. She was dodgint too many questions.

I can't get Anna to confess to any of that Ikea viral advertising. She's a tough nut, for sure.

His "I have opinions" is also pretty good.

Too bad I'm at work. I'd love to set up Anna and Eliza.

Apparently Emacs comes with both a mode that emulates Eliza and a mode that generates Zippy the Pinhead quotes. And there's a third mode where they talk to each other. Oh, those nutty guys at IBM!

The Anna dialogues are pretty good. I mean, it totally reminds me of playing with Dr Sbaitso Hello, my name is Doctor Sbaitso. I am here to help you. Say whatever is on your mind freely. Our conversation will be kept in strict confidence. Now, tell me about your problems.

"Do you like Pepsi?" "No, I like the products of The Coca-Cola Company."

I think I'm going to legally change my name to "Hank the CokeBot". It's a sure shot at the fame and fortune I crave so much.

I talked to Anna back in June, including doing a bit of Star Wars and Pulp Fiction.

pourmand is a douchebag, and encoretabs caused my penis to catch fire.

crusty, pus-filled blisters erupted all over his scrotum 30 minutes after ingesting Encore Tabs.

This still has me laughing:

Me: It's like deciding between two kinds of chairs. Anna: Here you will find the Chairs. Me: You like the old chair but the new one looks comfortable too. Anna: Here you will find your latest releases! Me: I don't care about that. Listen to me! Anna: Don't worry, I know it's going to happen some day. Me: What's going to happen?
