The AI bots are getting better and better.  I can still differentiate between them and a real person, but I'm betting it'll be fairly indistinguishable within a couple of years. 

So, prank away on them.  Nobody's feelings are getting hurt.

Oh I got past the bot, but the bot was pretty good but clearly a bot when you say something out of order.

I got one the other day that actually cracked a joke.  I forgot what the joke was, but it was something akin to "Hi Stadler, it's good to talk to you.  I know we're both busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest!  But I won't take too much of your time..."   I hung up at that point.

That's my standard "busier than" line!  I hate when people hang up on me.

I wouldn't hang up on a real person, though.  I was just brought up that way.

Good Morning E'ryobody!

Here's hoping to a quick smooth day at work. I (accidentally) chugged a Swiss Chocolate Monster (It's basically Monster Chocolate Milk... don't judge), listening to Spock's Beard, and am powering through payroll. After work I get to spend the weekend house sitting, so in theory it should be a relaxing weekend.


I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Wait... a Monster Energy drink - that sweet smelling caffeine bomb - in chocolate milk flavor???  What in god's name does that taste like?  I'm not a fan at all of energy drinks, and I don't like the "buzz" (literally, I feel like I'm buzzing, and not in the good, alcohol way) so that sounds like it's somewhere between parking lot puddle water and super model pee in terms of things I'd like to drink.

It's a "Java Monster". They don't really taste like Monster. Just coffee based with a shit ton of caffeine. This tastes like a chocolate milk with hints of coffee.

Long day ahead.  Got a lot done yesterday (Good Friday is a stat holiday for us) towards unpacking my garage and getting work-bench / tools setup.  Would've liked to have done a lot more today, but the Principal from the jingle.kids elementary school (who was VERY influential towards jingle.son in particular) suddenly passed last weekend, and viewing/celebration is today - 2 hours away.  So, as will be the case given our move, long drive ahead (and back) for a not-so-cheery reason.  The guy was so fucking awesome - always cheerful and upbeat.  2 years younger than me, so it's kinda eery.  Life ain't fair ... takes his guy away from the world, let it leaves douche-waffles with us (like mrs.jingle's father who is borderline evil)

Also, had a dream that mrs.jingle was pregnant. Yeah, fuck that shit.

Good morning peeps.

Going to be a long day. POS employee who quit (we were going to fire him either way) kinda left me fucked. So here comes a bunch of OT.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Hey, Blob,

I just realized I never got your take on the album Distance Over Time and decided to go browse your history on it. It appears that either you listened and didn't given an opinion (which seems odd to me) or you've not heard it. Anyway, I always enjoy your opinions on DT music, so if you care to share.

I haven't even looked in DT side in probably a couple of years, let alone posted. :lol
As for the album, we're on a DT forum, so I'm keeping my mouth shut on that one. :biggrin:

Fair enough. I remember thinking your take on TA was interesting so I was fishing to see if D/T met with your approval. I'm guessing, no.  :lol

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
