Adventures in instant messaging
In which V. has been messaged at random by a Most Peculiar Individual.

This mind-boggling exchange occured sometime around 3:00 this afternoon in Yahoo chat. This guy was a one-man freakshow. I sort of wonder if he was trying to put a curse on me towards the end.

I've omitted my own screen name, cos I don't know how many crazies might be reading this, and believe me, I already get more than enough crazies sending me instant messages (see below). But I've left the freakshow's name intact, cos I figure he deserves whatever's coming to him.

can_orkun: hello

Me: Hello...

can_orkun: ?n here ? am from türkey

Me: Okay...

can_orkun: IN HERE

Me: I see.

can_orkun: ON YOU, GLASS, THERE,
can_orkun: BUZZ! (note: this makes the IM window shake about, and also emits a really obnoxious buzzer sound)

Me: Um... okay. Sure.

Me: I'm not angry at all...
