My last post gave some information on ROT13, and why I think it can be fun. This one is for some of the conversations I’d had before, including the one when I decided that this was the way to deal with ICQ spammers.

I’m pretty sure this one was the conversation that started it all:

Conversation with 237678219 at Wed 05 Apr 2006 01:29:48 PM EDT on 2109563 (icq)

(01:29:48 PM) 237678219: hi, what language are you speaking?
(01:29:57 PM) me: Perl
(01:30:53 PM) 237678219: do you speak englisch?
(01:34:59 PM) me: grep
(01:35:38 PM) 237678219: hä??????????
(01:36:13 PM) me: SHPX BSS

You might be able to guess what the last line was that I said.. and that’s when I hit on something… for the rest of the postings, I’ll provide a translation where appropriate :>

(01:19:11 PM) 237678219: Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
Love – devotion
Feeling – emotion
.
Love – devotion
Feeling – emotion
.
Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
.
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine. Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl, some day I’m gonna make her mine. Oh yeah, some day I’m gonna make her mine.)

Of course, even before the ROT13 bug bit, I would occasionally have some fun:

Conversation with 349464963 at 2006-02-27 11:46:11 on 2109563 (icq)
