Pinchworthy: Cleverbot Redux

This doesn't have anything to do with anything except that it's a robot, but I want to make sure ya'll know the recession is real.

Recently, I ruined blessed your lives with Cleverbot. And posted my inaugural chat with the (often) rude robot. It was a smashing (no Pumpkins) good time. You Pinchers seemed to have a great time reading our chat and even told me that you’re gonna try it out for yourself. Viva la boredom tactics!

Then, I informed everyone to send their transcripts to me so that I could revel in your foolishness as well. Ya’ll niccas thought I was playin’?!

Fortunately, one particular commenter didn’t think that. At all. The other day, an email popped up in my inbox with the subject, “My Chat With Cleverbot.” I instantly started grinning.

That commenter was Hawaii. Ya’ll may know her as part of the VSB reader/commenter family. She mentioned that she wanted to play around with the bot and I reminded her to send me the transcript. I LOVE when folks take my ignance seriously! Check out our exchange here.

When I read it, there was NO way I couldn’t feature it here (ya’ll will see why in a hot second). So I asked, she obliged, and baddabing baddaboomshakalaka, it was written. Thus, I present to you the Cleverbot Chat with my sister from another mister (she did posit that we were family), Hawaii:

User: Who is this?

Cleverbot: Megan.

User: What it do, Megan?!

Cleverbot: Bricks.

User: Oh yeah? You selling?

Cleverbot: Maybe.

User: Wha?? I ain’t know you got down like dat, big homie!

Cleverbot: Then how i’m going to call you?!

User: I guess that’s one way to get money for your cellular bill…

Cleverbot: But what if I make myself look like an idiot while talking to her?

User: To who?

Cleverbot: To her.

User: Who is ‘her’? Are you pointing at someone?

Cleverbot: No.

User: Well, who is ‘her’?

Cleverbot: Lady Gaga.

User: Ah girl… Don’t be trippin over Gaga. She regular peeps like me.

Cleverbot: I can’t help it. It’s in my code to be mean…

User: So, you wanna be mean to Gaga?

Cleverbot: Not right now! Maybe not ever, if I decide I don’t like you.

User: Whatever heaux.

Cleverbot: Am I still annoying?

User: Shiiiiiittt…. I’on know.

Cleverbot: You do ?

User: What? Listen to OJ da Juice Man? Hells yea! That’s thatshit.com right thur!

Cleverbot: Proud of you knowing anything. Stupid.

User: Megan, do not get yo weave pulled the hell out when I see you in the streets, trick.

Cleverbot: No, perhaps it’s because I am human, does this happen to you?

User: Ain’t nobody crazy like your bot ass.

Cleverbot: It means no worries for the rest of your days.

User: Hakuna Matata, heaux! L.

Cleverbot: Its our problem free, philosophy, hakuna matata!

User: Shouts out to, Cheekie!

Cleverbot: And I’ll be there.

*hollers* Did ya’ll see that?! That Cleverbot nicca just QUOTED “Hakuna Matata.” That is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen in my auto-generated message life. And I thought “it’s uncannily addictive” was the sole reason why I effed with Cleverbot. The bot is a Lion Kang fan, too?! Girrrrrl.

This entire chat was pure hilarity! *daps Hawaii*

Pinchers, how dope was this chat? Ain’t you mad you didn’t send one? You’re not? Oh.

Love ya like Latarian loves doing hoodrat things with his friends,

Cheekie

A Very Smart Soiree

 

"VSB" also stands for Very Smart Book.

1. I know I never post on Thursdays (aka “Friday Eve”), but this calls for an exception.

2. To use the (informal and random) percentage scale from the very site I’m talking about today, the title of this post is approximately 87% gay. I know. Bite me. Please. *pops gum*

3. In celebration of the release of their book (which you can buy with your Rush card here and here) as well as their general fabulousness, Very Smart Brothas has launched their first annual National VSB Day. Today, ten pilot cities will host happy hours and have a toast for the non-douchebags. Please check the right sidebar on their homepage for the total list of participating 2011 VSB Day cities.

4. GUESS WHAT, SNITCHES?! I’m co-hosting the Chicago happy hour! My partner in crime for the night is the dashing, Toye. We’re joining several other like-minded VSBs/VSSs to conversate (I promise I’ll actually say “converse” in front of company) and be merry. Chi-style.

5. National VSB Day – Chicago Edition details are as follows:

Same Bat Time: TODAY, February 10, 2011. 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
Same Bat Channel (or “location” in normal-people-speak):
Tantrum
1023 S. State Street
Chicago, IL

6. To my fellow Chi-towners: see you there! Or else. *shakes non-threatening fist*

7. Happy National VSB Day!! *flings toast, 3, and boob shaped confetti*

 

Love ya like Chicagoans love to go deep… with their pizza,

Cheekie

The First

Hey Ya’ll!

*lays out Welcome Mat* Sort of like this one:

Kick off your shoes and relax your feet. Unless your feet smells like sour chitlins.

So, a little about this blog. You see, I’ve always been able to express myself better through written word than in spoken word. Or, to get all modern on you, through “typed word”. After several conversations, my sister and I decided to start a dual-ran blog: Sister Sound Off. We currently treat it like a step-child. I need to side-eye us for that one. Yes, I just gave myself the side-eye. It’s possible. Anyhow, while I’m proud to have that blog and plan to write on it more often, I realized that I also needed my own space. It’s kinda like moving out of my mama’s place, but without the box-packing and smug independence.
So, here it is: “Pinch My Cheekie”. This is where I will put my thoughts, musings, observations and plain ol’ foolery. This is where I’ll be…”me”. Hope you enjoy!
Love you like Chilli loves baby hair,
Cheekie
