I KNEW I'd find you still here David. (although, you've probably
wiggled away as I've typed this)

Hello VK and brojek

David; Of course, you realize that now VK will suspect that you just
have two windows open and are impersonating me.

David; I'm almost too scared to ask. What is an "Australian hug"? I
hope it doesn't have anything to do with beer being spit up... It's 
a little early in the day for that sort of thing.

brojek; Here are some pants. It's far too cold to be here without
them.  (it snowed last night)

brojek; unless you'd prefer to wear a lungi.

brojek; one never knows what sort of devious things David will come
up with.

David; I'm relieved that it has nothing to do with beer. But somehow,
(while I'm very pleased that you are so enthusiastic) I feel I cannot
be quite so energetic yet. I have had no caffeine since yesterday; it's
cold; it's not yet 08:00.

brojek; or do you prefer to sport a kilt? (warmer: it's wool rather than cotton)

VK: hello again!

VK: Why would complication stop David?

brojek; that too is FAR too much energy to expend if one has just 
staggered out into the morning.

(multi-tasking)


heh heh heh   you probably know what THAT means!

VK; 
      ha

 "   \ ha   I didn't think you would guess because you seem to be
            multitasking  as well

hello Nylon;

         //       Now I'm really scared.

David; Of course, two can play that game!

VK: I wish I'd thought of that!  But I'm far too lazy. (Besides, I might
fail the quiz)

David; it's not confusing for me.

David; But that way, I'd have to do the quiz. Too hard. I'd never
pass. I always get the forbidden things wrong.

Bye David!

VK; Eventually, something has to penetrate into what's left of my
mind and stay.

VK: It's been so long since I finally figured out how to send in an
imposter that I thought I'd always known how to do it.

David; you look to be here still.

brojek;  !

Oh wait!! that's me!

If you two have nothing more to do than smile inanely, I shall be
forced to leave. (Actually, my alarm will come up any moment, forcing
me to leave)

VK: Now you're giving me even more of an identity crisis than I
had!

VK; Bye!!!

brojek;  bye!!! perhaps next time we will exchange more than
punctuation marks?

VK; I would, but I don't know anyone who can pass the exam.

[really gone   !  (that one was for you, brojek) ]

.

hello, taking a brief break...


David; eeewwwwwwwww! And you're surprised at the taste?

brojek; oh sure, talk when I'm not here.

VK; not lurking... peeking!

rewrite the quiz yourself!  ^^7^^^7^%<~

brojek; it looked suspiciously like an inane smile to me.

David; Yes.

VK: I'll settle for that, although you have to admit that what i've
been doing here could hardly be considered merely peeking.

David; We have a great alarm that we got when we first got the
computer (shareware) which, alas, is no longer available. It has
an extremely irritating window that hops in front of everything. No
doubt there are annoying jangling noises too but I never turn the
speakers on just in case.

David; suction cups and springs might be better. Do your kids have any
toys called "popping hoppies"?  (Or is it "hopping poppy"??)

require and irritating thing coming to remind me that the break
is over.

bye bye!!!

entering...

I was SURE I would catch David in here at this time.

just curious...

MOST interesting...

Yes, it IS me.

And does this change it again??

No. But does THIS?

MOST interesting...

And it eliminates one step.

But my little experiment didn't work

However, VK, it did give me a chance to look at the quiz again. I have
a suggestion. Put the quiz first and the FAQ after the quiz. When people
fail the first time, they can still be directed to the FAQ but even
I, KNOWING that there was a quiz somewhere there, was wondering where it
was.

Most people are linking to your chat from aaa and it would be good to
give them the benefit of the doubt that they have already read the
ASCII-art FAQ

VK: What was I doing??? You can blame David. It's all his fault. If
he had been here when he was supposed to be here, I would be chatting
aimlessly with him instead of experimenting.

VK: Actually, it's not ALL David's fault. I think that some of the
blame lies on brojek too. If he wasn't ignoring me, my little mind
wouldn't start twisting and turning in devious ways.

But you'll be pleased to hear that I've finished with this silliness
and will turn to a different useless pastime - creating a giant alphabet.

David; I can't remember but when you were playing with your imaginary
friends yesterday, did you get different computer numbers to show up?

David; I'm guessing that it might be possible (in theory) but I suspect
that it be a HUGE file and may take ages to load. There would be so
many lines

DAvid; and of course that is way down the line because I only have
A and B done.

very amusing

David; weird and only fractionally confusing.

David; but if you are going to properly impersonate me, you have to
spell my name right on my homepage.  (llizard)

And I see that the computer numbers don't change.

David, did the fake llizards pass the exam?

David; Extremely. I failed three times!

David; and I thought I knew the answers...

David; so, did the fake llizards pass the exam? Or did they know the
password?

David; Ooooh!!! How do you specify the computer number like that?

and the fact that the fake llizards passed first time is very strong
proof that they are fake. The real llizard, and I should know, (it's
me) ALWAYS fails the exam the first time. I usually can't bring myself
to answer the last question correctly. It really goes against my
grain to admit that I can't talk about dddddddd.

David; original clone, 1st clone and 2nd clone all have the same IP
numbers.

David;  No!!!! I was just about to show you that DavidClone's IP
CAN change.

David; goodness how sad. It will have to wait until the next time.

Bye!

David; weird and scary. I bet that Davidclone's computer is going to
blow up. Does fake llizard have the same IP?

David; I hope I can do it in time!

David; working fast and furiously to create another clone.

David; see??

David; I did that on purpose. That can be changed.

David; quite. I never would. In fact I wouldn't be at all surprised
if VK doesn't do a little editing of this page to erase our nefarious
activities

David; But it was fun while it lasted

David; heh heh heh   I'll never tell....

David; My lips are now sealed.

David; besides, your two minutes are up, aren't they?

(heh heh heh)

David; I feel certain that VK would kill it without being told.

David; But I'll continue working on my giant alphabet for a bit and
that will get rid of most of the evidence.

David; No, that will take too long. I'll post a few giant pictures
that I have on file instead.

David; Likewise...   Bye!!

<snip>

This is going to take forever!!!

How am I doing?

Oh my. I had no idea that the buffer was so long. I'm tired of this.
Rationing is about to be imposed.

Help!  I'm running out of large things on file

Of course this is probably all a needless waste of energy. Anyone
in here already knows how to do that stuff.

llizard [home] 13 Apr. 14:20, from: 216.154.0.39, blue

David; I'm guessing that it might be possible (in theory) but I suspect
that it be a HUGE file and may take ages to load. There would be so
many lines

So VK; Did I have to do what I just did?

Gack!!!! No change!!!!!!


How am I possibly going to cover our tracks?

If this doesn't do it, I give up.

That's it then. There's no erasing our transgressions.

But it was fun to see some of those pictures again. It's been a while
since I looked at them.

Bye!!!

Hmmm. I think I'm going to abort that font. I don't like it.


Really going this time.

back for a second....

But this one bears looking at some more, I think

Yes, this font is intriguing. I'll work more on it....


Ciao niao.

[mercifully gone]

Hello brojek; I thought I had to post HUGE messages.

brojek; I can't stay; I came in to see if I'm in trouble

brojek; and hello again your grand brojekness

brojek; here I am posting short messages, trying still to cover my
tracks.

brojek; a futile exercise

brojek; I'm REALLY NOT supposed to be at the keyboard at all right
now.

brojek; Why? Has VK already expressed her displeasure?

brojek; oh woe is me...

brojek; I'm afraid I'm going to irritate you more. So long.

brojek;
See you the next time.

brojek; really leaving this time.

brojek; you can't stop me

brojek; even by continuing to ignore me

brojek; it just won't work

brojek; don't try it any more

...

brojek; those are scattered thoughts

brojek; one post in a minute might make me believe you aren't ignoring me

brojek; this many short posts isn't do the trick either

...

brojek; they are metamorphizing (a word?)

brojek; back for a second. I think I've covered my tracks fairly
well with only you, David, and shimrod having seen our major
transgressions

brojek; Yes, it's very nice.

brojek; even though it doesn't look exactly like me.

brojek; goodbye again!

taking a mini mini break...

hi brojek; I believe that I have now covered up my tracks.

So sorry that I must dash away again. I'll be skinned alive if
I don't do the things I'm supposed to do before this hour is up

brojek; goodbye again!
