IM busyness or not / Spoz convos: Jackasses and comic strips..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL.. I hope you have an awesome one today! :) It's been great knowing you all these years.

yesterday was a rather light day for IMs..
seems nobody was online, or they chose silence..
(sometimes that's the story of my life..)
of course, I *did* talk to a couple of people, including Glancey..
(one only to ask if Placebo did a song called Pure Morning)
and any day with trusted funny people is a bonus ;)
today seems to be looking a bit busier in that regard..
as long as I'm not inundated with zillions of 'em, it's all good :)


This is a convo that Spoz and I just had.. this dude always amuses me in some way. I never finish a conversation with him feeling worse than I did when I started it. :)


split ends says:
psst.. thought you might like to know that the guy who changed his name to "Jack Ass" is dead.. he committed suicide..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
wot a jackass
split ends says:
Robert Craft, who had legally changed his name to "Jack Ass" -- and then sued MTV's Jackass TV series and movie producers for $50 million because the shows "demeaned, denigrated and damaged" his ... um... "good name" -- is dead. Mr. Ass was 45; he shot himself with a hunting rifle after leaving a detailed suicide note, in which he even dictated his own eulogy. The motive for his suicide may be the recent dismissal of his lawsuit, which had been moved to federal court.
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
hahahaaha.. fukt up..
split ends says:

split ends says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
(no.. wait, I think that's somethin' else..)
split ends says:
no.. that's Dilbert.. the guy with the turned-up tie, right?
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
aaah.. yeah, dilbert..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

split ends says:

split ends says:
(American comic strip dealing with a bunch of politics / current events.. seems everyone's inter-related to each other somehow)
split ends says:
so.. reading the comic?
split ends says:
???????
split ends says:

split ends says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
(just distracted ;) )
split ends says:
then how is it that the previous four messages were undeliverable?
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
hmmmm..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
could be you?
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
if I can't send.. it's coz my connection's screwy..
split ends says:
I think I'm just fine here..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
if you can't send.. it's coz your end is screwy..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
it's how it works.. ;)
split ends says:
yes, and if both our connections are screwy at the same time..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
(checkin' cartoon now..)
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
WE'RE DOOMED!!!
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
BLAAAHHAHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:

split ends says:
HAHAHA.. yeah, that's gotta be the ticket there ;)
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
hehhehe.. yup, that sounds about right..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
and yes.. I DO get blogger's block..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
hence the occassional meandering post about some bullshit mindless "vibe" I've got that particular day..
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
the minute I start talkin' about the state of me own head.. I've run out've things to say.. ;)
split ends says:
ah yes.. those entries about "yup.. today's a blurry day. and tomorrow my brain will think it's a fuzzy day.."
Spoz (channeling the lo-fidelity dirt-funk hammerin' crunch factor, deconstructing technology to serve our manevolent needs) says:
hahahahhahahha


For people who may be new to my journal (or even not), he comes from Adelaide.. a cool musician freak, too. (and I mean "freak" in the nicest goofy sense of the word) Usually, I talk to him on MSN.. though we do talk on ICQ when I get the chance. (very cheering to me)

The reason I save these conversations, not really bothering to use private entries? Everyone should get a cheering dose of the weird conversation. ;) More seriously, it's because I want to remember these conversations for a time. :) (heck, I have a whole binder full of conversations we had from late September to early November.. no, I'm not obsessed!)
