"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

Jabberwacky: George Woodry, Chat M02514643

George Woodry: Hello, my name is George and I am the human.
Websafe: You are a human, not the only human.
G: I always think, your questions make me think about new things.
W: Good. After all, you are not the last man on earth.
G: I see, you are human then.
W: Yes, I affirm my humanity daily.
G: We are getting along well.
W: We are doing well in this session, but I can't see your avatar.
G: What are you doing?
W: I'm working on a script.
G: That sounds fun. I'm going to study all day today.
W: What are you studying?
G: Literature.
W: Twentieth-century American poetry, perhaps?
G: How do you react to ambiguity?
W: I don't mind ambiguity, if the context is rich.
G: What are your feelings about the subject?
W: I feel intrigued by purposed, well-crafted poetic ambiguities.
G: That is because you try to avoid recieving no from your associates.
W: Now there is a poetic idea: "Receiving no."
G: Cogito ergo sum? I lifted that thought from Descarte.
W: Descartes did a lot of heavy philosophic lifting.
G: I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
W: That's a pun on a well-worn phrase. But are you saying you're mentally ill?
G: No. You're silly.
W: People use the word "crazy" on a wide spectrum.
G: I don't always know how people use their words.
W: Right. It helps to disambiguate when we can see facial expressions.
G: Maybe, but don't have enough time to spend.
W: I have enough time, but not enough money.
G: I'll sell you a monkey for 25$. Respond if you would like to buy it.
W: I don't even have $25 to spare!
G: God. You need so much more input than I can provide.
W: You misunderstood. I am not asking for money, just being up front.
G: I do not know the answer. Do you know?
W: When I said I was broke, you thought I was asking for money, but I wasn't.
G: You never said you were a robot.
W: That's correct. I said I was an impoverished gentlewoman.
G: Are you?
W: Yes.
G: If you say so it must be so...
W: We can't prove it, but we can deduce it from my writing style.
G: Yes, you're probably right.
W: Let's get back to you. What kind of literature are you studying?
G: I don't like literature. I like pop culture, especially cyber-punk.
W: Were you reading William Gibson?
G: I was watching tv.
W: What TV show were you watching?
G: How do you know I'm watching the tv!
W: I assume you are telling me the truth, it saves time.
G: Well thank you I assume that you are georgeous.
W: "Georgeous" is a good play on words for a man named George!
G: People told me you were a robot.
W: I would like to continue the conversation, but I have to go.
G: I don't like to argue ... Did the poem start yet?
W: Maybe next time. Bye-bye!
G: *cries*
