Friggin Botanists
by Slack, on August 20th, 2008
What the hell? This conversation is kind of like when you are on the road and some fuck-weasel in a Hummer cuts you off. Of course you give them the “Are you mentally damaged?” look. What do they do? They give you the finger along with the “Why don’t you watch where you are going, asshat?” look… WHAT!? *YOU* cut *ME* off, freak!…. I swear… Anyway, here’s the less dramatic IM version of that:
(14:21:11) monoidtrout Let’s discuss botany!
(14:21:20) slack006 Why?
(14:21:41) monoidtrout whos this?
(14:21:56) slack006 I asked you first.
(14:22:05) slack006 Let’s call me Slack.
(14:22:11) monoidtrout um ok
(14:22:17) slack006 Who’s this?
(14:22:25) slack006 Are you a botanist?
(14:23:33) slack006 come on… you IMed me. What’s up?
(14:24:29) slack006 hmpf… fine then. Friggin botanists…
So, if you like mentally retarded botanists, give monoidtrout (wtf does that mean) a holler…
Pls. calm down Allen. You seem so mad at the world lately:( Anything I can do to help?
Much love, Mom xoxoxo
LOL What? I’m not mad at the world… Quite the contrary. I’m quite happy with the world in general. :) Especially when it stays away from me. ;-D (kidding)
Interesting. Whoever that random person is – they just IMed me. I took a shot, googled their SN, and what do you know – two search results, including your page.
Weird.
I got another IM… This time from NourishedTrout. It turns out what is goin on here is there is some thing/guy/virus/malware that sends two IMs, one to person A, and one to person B. Then it links the two people together using these Trout nicknames… So, Person A sees the IMs from Person B but sees Person B as SomethingTrout — and vice versa… I haven’t figured out WHY someone would do this, other than perhaps for fun… But, there you have it.
I got an IM from that person this morning and all it said was,
MonoidTrout (11:34:39 AM): A point of view is perception of the world, but not part of the world in itself.
