Omegle

I thought I'd try omegle. This is a complete transcript of my first conversation, hot off the presses.

I wouldn't bother with Omegle, half the users are 4chan /b/tards that just spam the place like you have seen first hand.

I'm wondering if that idiot was kidding or not. Probably.

Dear, dear. Will you be trying again?

An almost-first-hand reminder that Seattle is in fact a festering hotbed of big-city liberalism in an otherwise rural and often redneck state.

Having grown up there I have to say I agree with this. *sigh* Although WA rednecks are different than other rednecks.. but.. yes.

Ah, one of the joys of anonymous conversation: the people you meet.

I suspect they were from Forks.

What a charmer..

I am contemplating making my own version, Omertle, which works the same way except that if you say anything you find yourself sleeping with the fishes...

I didn't check the link before I read the text. I thought Omegle was some sort of conversation engine. I was going to say it almost passed the Turing test by with it's convincing impression of a real life imbecile.
:-P

On a totally unrelated note...

It being after midnight, let me be among the first...
